How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

We Work Hard To Find The Right Tenant For Your Investment

Thorough Screening to Protect Your Investment

At Tri-City Realty Services, we know that the key to a successful rental experience is placing the right tenant — not just the fastest. That’s why our approval process is built on experience, insight, and rigor. We dig deeper than a basic credit check to ensure your tenant is financially stable, responsible, and a good fit for your property.

Our Approval Standards

Applicants must meet our Guidelines for Approval, which include a minimum of 80% favorable credit and proof of income that’s at least three times the rent amount. But we don’t stop there. Every applicant is evaluated with a full screening that includes:

• Full credit report and debt-to-income ratio review
• Employment and income verification
• Criminal background and eviction history checks
• References from previous landlords

What We Ask – and Why

Our team assesses the whole picture, asking critical questions like:

• Is the applicant who they say they are?
• Do they pay their bills on time?
• Can they afford this home?
• Will they treat the property with respect?

This comprehensive approach has proven to reduce risk, minimize turnover, and lead to better tenant relationships over time.
