What Is Your Rental Criteria? Your First Line Of Defense!

Don't Miss This Latest Presentation by Well-Known Property Management Expert, Patti Widget of Widget's Way

It's not a small job, but establishing your rental criteria will help you share expectations with applicants. Proper rental criteria standardizes your tenant selection process and helps define your minimum requirements, covering everything from rental history and background checks to pet and parking policies.

Establishing and following clear rental criteria protects both landlord and tenant. When screening prospective tenants, be prepared with the right questions to determine qualifications efficiently. Creating and enforcing criteria can save time, money, and frustration—while helping you attract the right tenants.

Some landlords share their rental criteria up front, allowing prospects to self-filter. If an applicant realizes they don’t qualify, they may move on to more suitable options. This saves everyone valuable time and avoids misunderstandings later in the process.

Our property management expert, Patti Widget of Widget’s Way, will provide guidance on building strong rental criteria that helps you find quality tenants and comply with fair housing and legal standards.
