Tenant Screening

We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment

How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

At Housepitality, we prioritize placing the right tenant—not just the fastest one. Taking the time to thoroughly vet applicants upfront helps prevent issues down the line and leads to more stable, positive rental experiences for both you and your residents.

Our screening process goes far beyond a simple credit check. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation that includes:

  • Full credit history review
  • Verified employment and income
  • Debt-to-income analysis
  • Nationwide eviction history search
  • Criminal background screening
  • Reference checks with previous landlords

And for our furnished rentals we go beyond other managers to protect your property. Our furnished rental screening includes:

  • ID verification
  • Payment verification
  • Lease agreement signed

We don’t rely on one score or metric alone. Instead, we assess the full picture of an applicant’s reliability and rental history. This careful, proven approach has helped us consistently place responsible tenants who treat your property with care and respect.
