In the dynamic world of rental property management, ensuring the integrity and reliability of tenants is paramount. Doorstead, a leader in this industry, has established an unparalleled tenant screening process that stands out in this competitive market. We get a lot of questions around how we find tenants for your rental home and wanted to explain more details and benefits of our tenant screening and placement process.

‍

Doorstead follows industry best practices employed by top property management companies to further screen for high-quality tenants:

1. Detailed Rental Application: We require a comprehensive rental application that collects all necessary information to properly evaluate each applicant.
2. Thorough Employment Verification: We contact the applicant's employer to confirm their job status, length of employment, and income. This helps us place tenants with stable employment and reliable income.
3. Prior Landlord References: We reach out to prior landlords to ask about the applicant's rental history, including any late payments, property damage, or lease violations. This gives us valuable insight into their behavior as a renter.
4. Eviction and Criminal Records Check: We search public records to uncover any past evictions or criminal convictions that may disqualify an applicant or raise concerns.
5. Occupancy Standards: We follow all local and state occupancy laws to ensure we don't place too many residents in a unit, which can lead to increased wear and tear and other issues.

By combining our strict rental criteria with these additional best practices, Doorstead goes above and beyond to find the most qualified and reliable tenants for your property. Our thorough screening process helps minimize the risk of late payments, property damage, evictions, and other common rental issues.

Here's a closer look at the ways we are able to provide peace of mind and added value for rental homeowners through how we find the best tenants.

Cutting-edge screening

Doorstead utilizes two top-tier verification software systems to meticulously confirm tenant identities and income. This approach surpasses traditional methods by rejecting screenshots of credit reports or income statements commonly used by fraudsters. Fraudulent attempts are rapidly becoming more sophisticated and complex to identify. Doorstead's rigorous screening is a vital defense, safeguarding homeowners from potential substantial losses.

Legal expertise and fraud prevention

We grasp the intricacies of tenant verification. Our dedicated legal verification specialists and fraud team consistently review flagged applicants. We adhere to high standards, proceeding only with applicants meeting stringent criteria, including background checks, minimum credit score levels, and income verification. This diligence ensures we only consider the most suitable tenants for every home, aligning our interests perfectly with homeowners.
