How We Screen Your Rental Applicants
At Country Side Property Management, we believe that placing the right tenant is the most important step in protecting your investment. While we work efficiently to minimize vacancy, we never compromise on quality. Our goal isn’t just to fill a unit quickly—it’s to place a tenant who will pay on time, respect the property, and stay long-term.
Our comprehensive screening process goes far beyond a basic credit report. We evaluate every applicant through a multi-point system that includes:
- Full credit check and score review
- Employment and income verification
- Debt-to-income ratio analysis
- Nationwide eviction history
- Criminal background screening
- Direct landlord reference checks
By taking a holistic approach, we’re able to identify responsible, well-qualified renters who are the best match for your property. This diligence up front helps reduce turnover, limit damage, and deliver a more positive experience for both owners and tenants.
