The problem
Screen every applicant the same way
When you rent out a home for the first time, it's easy to ask one applicant more than another or forget to check a reference. That makes it harder to compare people fairly and harder to explain your decision later. This packet starts with your rental criteria, so your standards are set before anyone applies. Then every applicant fills out the same application, and you review each one with the same checklist.
Who it's for
- First-time landlords renting out a house, mobile home, or duplex unit
- Owners renting out the home they moved out of
- Small landlords who want a consistent, written screening process
- Anyone who prefers paper forms they can hand out and file
