We secure high quality tenants by leveraging technology: Digital ID Fraud Mitigation, Digital Bank Account Analytics, Digital Background Checks, and more. We do not assume we are being told the truth until we verify the information with credible evidence. We look for tenants who have something to lose (i.e. negative impact on credit) if an eviction or small claims suit is brought against them. We look at the tenant’s credit, employment history, rental history, and check for any type of criminal background to identify any potential red flags to be concerned about.
We expect that our tenants pay rent in accordance with their lease agreement. We charge late fees, send notices to vacate, and file eviction suits if a tenant is in default of their lease agreement.
We also offer inspection services while the tenants are occupying the residence to reduce the risk of damage to the home.
As a result of our strict screening and payment management procedures as well as our inspection services, we minimize the risk of tenants not paying rent or damaging the property for our clients.
