ApplyConnect Releases A “How To” Guide For Tenant Screening Background Checks
Lancaster, CA – ApplyConnect is a no-cost tenant screening solutions provider focused on helping landlords and real estate agents sift through the thousands of applicants who have signified interest in their properties. As a leading provider of tenant screening services, ApplyConnect is dedicated to providing high-quality information resources for the rental housing industry, and in line with this has released it’s “How To” guide for tenant screening background checks.
With ApplyConnect, the process of tenant screening and background checks is as simple as creating an account. However, to ensure the genuineness of clients and also to keep the platform safe and secure for users, ApplyConnect will only approve applications following identity verification by Experian. Once this process is completed, property owners can invite their applicants to share their credit reports and more. The platform processes the credit report in a matter of seconds and an email containing the report is sent to the requesting party – landlords, real estate agents, and property managers.
However, to guide property managers through the process, the latest resource dubbed the “how to” guide for tenant credit and background checks was released. The guide teaches property managers how to save time by pre-qualifying applicants, a method which is guaranteed to reduce time and money invested both by the applicant and property manager. Through the pre-screening process, which is just a verbal interview, property owners and managers get to inquire about applicant’s past and present renting history while also giving the applicant the opportunity to decide whether or not they will be able to meet the rental criteria and requirements. The tenant screening service provider, ApplyConnect, notes that this does not necessarily replace the role of background checks, which divulge objective information about the applicant’s credit, criminal, eviction, and possibly other histories.
The guide also reveals what property owners and managers need to reveal about the property, criteria and requirements including minimum monthly income required to afford rent, specifics regarding acceptable credits such as threshold for minimum credit score accepted, specific types of criminal convictions and the time since conviction, more than two eviction judgement and/or filing within the last three (3) years, whether or not the property manager has a policy against pets or any specifics regarding pets, etc.
Other information provided in this guide includes thorough information regarding understanding fair housing requirements, objective versus subjective information, the use of bright-line standards and its avoidance, how to identify fraud and the common red flag rules, and more.
The “how to” guide for tenant credit and background checks is available on the ApplyConnect website for public access.
