Tenant Screening

We focus on finding you the right tenant—quickly, but always with quality as our top priority. Placing the most qualified tenant in your rental property helps ensure both a smooth and positive experience for all parties involved, while ensuring to abide by all Fair Housing Laws and Regulations. At Evolution, our applications are reviewed and processed in the order that they are received.


While many believe a simple credit check and employment verification are strong enough, our tenant screening goes far beyond that. We gather comprehensive information on the following:

We conduct a detailed credit check to assess the applicant's financial responsibility. This involves reviewing their credit history, payment habits, and overall creditworthiness. A solid credit history indicates that the applicant is likely to pay rent on time and manage their finances responsibly. By examining credit scores and reports, we gain valuable insights into the applicant’s fiscal behavior, ensuring they are a reliable choice for your property.

Evaluating an applicant's debt-to-income ratio is crucial in determining their ability to afford rent comfortably. This ratio compares the applicant’s monthly debt payments to their gross monthly income. A lower ratio suggests better financial health and a higher likelihood of timely rent payments. By ensuring the applicant's income sufficiently covers their debts and living expenses, we minimize the risk of financial strain impacting their rent commitments.

Ensuring the safety and security of the property and its residents is paramount. Our thorough criminal history check screens for any past criminal activities, providing peace of mind for property owners and neighbors. This step helps us maintain a safe and secure living environment, contributing to a positive community atmosphere.

Confirming an applicant's employment status and income stability is a key part of our screening process. We verify their current employment and salary to ensure they have a consistent and reliable source of income. This step involves contacting their employer and reviewing employment documentation. By validating their income, we ensure that the applicant can meet rent payments without undue financial stress.

Checking for past evictions is essential to understanding an applicant's rental history. We review records to identify any previous evictions, which can be a red flag for potential issues. Understanding the circumstances behind any evictions helps us make informed decisions. This step ensures that we select tenants with a stable and positive rental history, reducing the risk of future problems.

Gathering references from previous landlords provides valuable insights into the applicant's rental behavior. We contact former landlords to learn about their experiences with the applicant, including their reliability in paying rent and maintaining the property. Positive references indicate a responsible and respectful tenant. This feedback helps us select tenants who will treat your property with care and respect, ensuring a smooth and pleasant rental experience.
