Accel Property Management’s Tenant Criteria
Choosing suitable tenants for your property is essential. Our tenant screening process ensures that your property is cared for by responsible individuals. We perform comprehensive background and credit checks on all applicants, confirm their employment details, and assess their rental history. This detailed, multi-step process helps us identify dependable and trustworthy tenants.
We believe that having reliable and respectful tenants not only benefits you as a landlord, but it also creates a positive community within your property. When tenants feel comfortable and safe in their rental, they are more likely to stay longer-term, reducing the risk of vacancies and turnover costs.
Finding The Most Suitable Tenants For Your Property
At Accel Property Management, we understand that finding the most suitable tenants is vital to the success of your rental property. Our proven process blends industry expertise with personalized care to attract and secure tenants who align with your property’s needs. We utilize targeted marketing strategies to reach qualified applicants and combine this with rigorous tenant screening, including financial verification and background checks, to ensure reliability.
2.5X Income/Rent Ratio
We require that tenants demonstrate a monthly income of at least 2.5 times the rent amount. This ensures they have the financial stability to consistently meet rental obligations while maintaining their overall financial well-being.
650 Credit Score
A minimum credit score of 650 is an essential criterion in our tenant screening process, reflecting a history of responsible financial management and reliability in meeting monetary commitments.
No Evictions
We prioritize applicants with a clean rental history, including no prior evictions. This guarantees a track record of respecting lease agreements and maintaining positive relationships with previous landlords.
Employment Verification
Employment verification is a key part of our process to confirm sustainable and stable income. We contact employers to validate job status, ensuring tenants can fulfill their rental requirements.
Background Checks
Comprehensive background checks allow us to gather vital information on prospective tenants, ensuring they meet the necessary criteria for long-term dependability and suitability.
Complete Application
A complete application ensures that all required information is provided for an efficient evaluation process. This includes accurate personal details, rental history, employment information, and consent for necessary checks.
650 Credit Score
In order to ensure timely rental payments, our requirement for a credit score has been set at 650 or above. However, we understand that financial situations may vary, so we offer alternatives for lower scores such as the option for a co-signer. Our goal is to provide equal opportunity for all individuals seeking a place to call home.
2.5x Income/ Rent Ratio
One of the key elements of our rental application process is ensuring that our tenants have a stable income. To ensure this, we require a minimum income to rent ratio of 2.5x or greater. This industry-standard requirement is in place to help us ensure our tenants can comfortably afford their rent payments and reduce the risk of default.
No Prior Eviction History
We prioritize providing safe and secure housing options for our tenants. To ensure this, we have a strict policy of not renting to individuals who have a prior eviction history. This is to protect our properties and the peace of mind of our tenants who deserve to live in a stable environment without the fear of an uncertain future.
Criminal Background Checks
Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our tenants is a top priority. That’s why our application process includes a thorough criminal background check to screen for any potential red flags. By doing so, we can give our tenants peace of mind and maintain a safe and secure living environment for all.
Employment Verification
Our top priority is ensuring that our rental application process is thorough and professional. As part of our rigorous screening criteria, we verify that each potential renter is currently employed through detailed employment verifications. This ensures that only qualified individuals who can fulfill their rent obligations are accepted as tenants in our properties.
