Property Manager – Winnetka
What to Look for on a Rental Application:
- Current and previous employers – How long has the tenant been at their current job? Has he or she switched jobs multiple times in the last few years?
- Current income level – Does the tenant’s income cover the rent plus normal living expenses?
- Financial information such as bank accounts and credit cards, including balances and minimum monthly payments, help to provide a financial “picture” for a prospective tenant and offer insights into his or her ability to pay the rent each month.
- Contact information for previous landlords should be listed with previous addresses, amounts of rent paid, and reasons for leaving. Are there any gaps in rental history, or are the names and contact inf0rmation for any landlords missing from the application?
- Lifestyle information such as number and size of pets and number of occupants should be included on the application.
- Personal references should include names, length of acquaintance, and phone numbers.
Ask the prospective tenant to complete the form and give it back to you. Review the form before you start screening to make sure the tenant didn’t exclude any information. Missing information could be a red flag that the tenant may be trying to hide something.
