What Do Rental Landlords Need to Know about College Station Tenant Screening?

Property Management College Station: Tenant Screening

Every potential tenant should be put through a thorough background, credit history, and rental history check. This will ensure the applicant has maintained good standing with previous managers, and they make paying rent a priority. Verification of employment and other sources of income should be a part of your screening process so you are sure they can afford the rental rate. The general rule of thumb is the prospect’s income should be at least three times the amount of rent. If the tenant cannot afford the rent, a co-signor is required. All co-signors will be put through the same qualifications for the unit.

Property Management College Station: Renting to College Students

In the Bryan and College Station areas, many of our properties are occupied by college students. Those tenants won’t have a lot of credit or a source of income. It’s very important that these college students have a co-signor. In most cases, college students stay in groups. Usually, they rent in groups of two or four people. Requiring a co-signor from each student will create a huge safety net for your rental income, depending on how many students are in your unit.
