Tenant Screening for single-family rentals

Service

Tenant Screening

Bureau-grade screening on every applicant: credit verification, employment confirmation, income confirmation, prior-landlord references, identity verification, and jurisdictional history check.

What we do

A bad placement can cost an owner months of unpaid rent, legal exposure, and asset damage. Our screening process is the disciplined filter that runs on every applicant we recommend. We verify identity, run credit, confirm employment and income, contact prior landlords, and assess the full applicant picture before presenting our recommendation. Owners make the final decision.

Problem we solve, how we solve it

Where tenant screening commonly breaks down.

Specific operating failures behind tenant screening, and the disciplined-process answer to each.

Problem we solve

Generic screens miss jurisdiction-specific risk.

Off-the-shelf US-style screens often skip Ontario LTB history, the most predictive single signal we have for non-payment risk. One bad placement is ten months of unpaid rent and recovery costs.

How tenant screening runs

From the first call through ongoing operations.

Seven steps. The same path whether you hold one rental or ten.

  1. 01

    Intake call

    We learn about your unit, your tenant situation, and what is and is not working today. No deck. No pitch. A working call.

  2. 02

    Property walk

    Your dedicated manager visits the unit in person, photographs the condition, meets the tenant if occupied, and writes a baseline report.

  3. 03

    Plan and proposal

    Written proposal with the service mix, realistic rent projection for the neighborhood, and clear pricing. Typically within one business day.

  4. 04

    Handoff

    Lease, ledger, vendor contacts, and tenant relationship transfer cleanly to your manager. We send introduction notices that comply with the RTA.

  5. 05

    Day to day

    Your manager handles rent, repairs, vendor dispatch, inspections, and tenant communication. You keep the phone number. You stay in control.

  6. 06

    Monthly close

    Itemized statement on the same day each month. Every dollar shown. Maintenance threads attached. Year-end summary ready for your accountant.

  7. 07

    Quarterly check-in

    A scheduled call with your manager to review performance, plan for renewals, walk through any capital needs, and reset the next quarter.
