Are you a property manager who does all the screening process by yourself, thinking that it will help you save some money? While it helps to know if the person is trustworthy or not, you could be facing a lot of risks and hassles. An unworthy tenant can produce fraudulent documents such as fake IDs, fake certificates of employment and fake bank information. A friend or relative can easily pose as an employer, so you'll never really find out if the tenant has a job and is capable of paying the monthly rent.


The easiest and surest way of screening a tenant is to outsource it. A website like Tenantify, will thoroughly verify a person's employment and income status. The good thing about this service is, aside from getting an accurate report, it is always FREE for the landlord. The tenant pays for it once verification is complete. You just need to send a request to the tenant via the website, then the tenant will be asked to submit the necessary information and Tenantify will take care of the rest. Within 24 hours, you can expect a report from them. If you haven't already, think about getting help from the experts when it comes to screening tenants. This will cut the risk of losing money because of non-payment of monthly rent, damage to property and dealing with eviction, which can take months.
