Part of being a successful landlord is finding quality tenants to fill vacancies.
It’s important to screen prospective tenants by running credit checks, verifying income, confirming employment, and running tenant background checks to assess whether a prospective renter will make a quality tenant. Finding the right tenants for your properties will help you avoid problematic tenants that don’t pay their rent or have a criminal past.
If you are a landlord or in charge of managing a property, you know that tenant screening can be a time-consuming task, especially if you are managing multiple properties. Fortunately, with the help from DKRentals.net, you can find quality tenants with our tenant screening services. Learn more about our tenant screening services in Atlanta, then contact us for more information and assistance.
Tenant Background Checks to Find the Best Candidates
Careful tenant screening will help you filter prospects, so you can find the best candidates for your vacancies. You’ll want to verify that the tenant’s income, ensure that they have a stable work history, and make sure their credit meets or exceeds expectations. Furthermore, you’ll want to filter out any individuals with a history of criminal behavior or pattern of misdemeanors.
The tenant screening process can be time-consuming for landlords. You’ll have to make multiple phone calls, pull up criminal records, pay individually for services like credit checks, and run the risk of violating compliance issues.
Fortunately, DKRentals.net provides fast tenant background checks and tenant credit checks, so you can fill vacancies in a timely manner with the right tenants for your property. We provide our clients with comprehensive tenant background checks, which includes credit reports, criminal background checks, income estimates, and eviction records. We will deliver timely tenant reports, so you can make an informed decision.
Our Tenant Screening Service Process
We make the screening process easy, so you can focus on other areas of your business, like growing your portfolio. We have a streamlined, built-in resident screening with a standard tenant background check and credit check along with past rent payment history. Screens can be completed in minutes, enabling us to place the highest quality residents quickly.
Tenant Screening Legal Compliance
Along with tenant screening being a time-consuming task, navigating the legal do’s and don’ts can be confusing. You may not know if it’s legal to make certain inquiries on candidates. Or, if you do conduct a check, how do you know you’re being compliant with the most up-to-date laws?
Handling credit improperly can lead to problems as anyone trying to get credit and background information on another party must comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Credit reporting agencies will require companies, including landlords, to be accredited. They may require an inspection of the inquirer’s office to ensure the business is legitimate and that records are secure.
Fortunately, most tenant screening services buffer this process either with an abbreviated compliance process. We can’t stress enough the importance of having a professional firm handle your tenant screening services, so you can maintain your compliance with the law.
When to Deny an Applicant After Tenant Screening
After our tenant screening process, we can make recommendations based on their background and credit checks. If there are clear indicators a prospective candidate is problematic, you have the right to decline them. Some areas of your concern include:
- Their income can’t support their rent
- Their credit is too low, or payment history is poor
- They have a criminal history
- Employment is unverifiable, or they don’t have a stable work history
- The tenant background check reveals evictions, judgments for property damage, unpaid rent, or problems with neighbors
While filtering out problematic candidates will ensure you find stable, reliable tenants to fill your vacancies, you’ll want to be careful you don’t illegally discriminate. Federal fair housing laws protect applicants from discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, age, gender sexual orientation, family status, or disability. We can help you stay vigilant so that you don’t accidentally have a run in with the law. Even asking the wrong questions can get you into trouble and you could face a lawsuit by turning away an otherwise qualified candidate because you violated Federal fair housing laws. For these reasons, it’s important to find a qualified partner to screen tenants and answer any questions you may have.

I recently started to rent with DKRentals[.net] and my experience has been memorable. Paola, Inez, Andrea and Estefan helped me through the entire process from the application to even after our move in. Everyone is very professional and kind. The home needed a refresh from being unvacant for some time and the cleaning ladies Gabby and Liseida did an amazing job. I look forward to continue my rental journey with them! Thank you to everyone!
