Step-by-step tenant screening process
At jerryhomes, we believe in a methodical and transparent tenant screening process designed to protect your investment. Here’s a breakdown of what landlords can expect from start to finish:
Pre-screening: We begin with a quick, informal check on key criteria such as timeline, budget, intended occupants, and pets. This initial step helps us eliminate approximately 40% of inquiries early on, saving everyone time and effort.
Formal application: Qualified applicants proceed to a detailed online application. This requires their legal name, social security number, five years of rental history, income verification, and consent for comprehensive credit, criminal, and eviction background checks. A non-refundable fee covers the cost of third-party reports, with no markup from our side.
Verification: Over 24-48 hours, our team meticulously verifies all information. We confirm income (requiring a minimum of 3x the rent), contact current and previous landlords (prioritizing previous landlords for more candid feedback), run thorough credit and background checks (fully compliant with HUD guidelines), and scour eviction databases. Even dismissed filings trigger a detailed review.
Review & conditional approval: All collected data is compiled and measured against the specific criteria you provide upfront. If an applicant meets these standards, we issue a conditional approval. If not, we present all facts and our recommendations, but the final decision always rests with you, the landlord.
Final decision: Once you make your choice, approved tenants are notified. We then handle the collection of the security deposit and first month's rent, followed by the signing of the lease agreement, ensuring a smooth transition.
Peace of mind for landlords
The biggest worry landlords face when finding new tenants is the unknown risk—will they pay on time, damage the property, cause issues, or suddenly leave? Our tenant screening process at jerryhomes is designed to eliminate this fear by replacing guesswork with verifiable facts.
We rigorously verify income directly with employers, thoroughly check credit histories, and obtain honest references by contacting previous landlords, not just current ones. We conduct comprehensive eviction and criminal background checks, always adhering to fair housing guidelines, ensuring we never rely on mere gut feelings. Our commitment to full transparency keeps you in control, giving you the final say with all necessary information. Typically completed within 3–5 business days, our process delivers responsible, trustworthy tenants, granting you complete peace of mind.
