(The following is a guest post from Rentometer<\/a>.\u00a0 Rentometer<\/a>\u00a0is the fastest, easiest way to compare rents anywhere in the U.S.)<\/p>\n

As a landlord, there are 3 primary reasons why you should screen your potential resident:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To Protect Your Profitability \u2013 You want to rent your apartments to renters that will pay the rent on time and for the full lease term.<\/li>\n
  2. To Protect Your Property \u2013 You want to rent to responsible individuals that will take care of their apartment and respect your property.<\/li>\n
  3. To Protect Your Other Residents & Neighbors \u2013 You never want to put any of your residents in harms way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Overall resident screening helps to assess your prospective renter\u2019s willingness to pay the rent: do they have the appropriate income to pay the rent, do they have a track record of paying rent, and do they have a track record of paying their other bills?<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s a great opportunity as well to assess their criminal background. \u00a0\u00a0Do they have a serious criminal offense or a history of previous criminal offenses?<\/p>\n

    One thing to consider about criminal background checks, there are restrictions and requirements to access and use criminal data records. These records can change depending on which state you are using a criminal background check in.<\/p>\n
