Ask every landlord in property management what his worst nightmare is and chances are you will get the answer as ‘bad tenants’. No landlord wants tenants who would disrupt properties or peace, or do not pay the rents on time. Here are three more reasons why tenant screening is vital for avoiding such tenants:

• Imaging having spent hundreds even thousands of dollars on fixing up and sprucing an apartment and having a tenant move in only to see a few months later that the unit is in shambles. With tenant screening procedures, you can avoid such deadbeat tenants, since the report can help warn in advance of such disruptive behaviour that a tenant might have displayed in his past tenancies.
• Secondly, you end up saving a great deal of time when you utilize tenant screening agencies. These scan hundreds of applications and only pass a few applications to you that meet the criteria of ‘reliable renters. Imagine the amount of time and headache you would save by utilizing such means.
• The screening reports also contain background checks that are sure to help you sleep better at night. With these procedures you can ascertain that honest and reliable renters are occupying your home and not some criminals with a dark past.

These are the three main reasons why tenant screening is vital and must not be overlooked.
