We know that proper tenant screening is critical in property management. But it doesn’t have to be as intimidating as it might sound, especially since most applicants apply online. A property manager who can screen as quickly and easily as a prospect can submit a rental application is likely to get better tenants while reducing the risk of default and bad debt.
Enhanced Propertyware Tenant Screening allows staff to automatically screen every application for a rental property in real-time and provides property managers a comprehensive screening report that’s easy to read.
But it’s no ordinary solution. Using new technology, Propertyware Tenant Screening can be customized to fit screening preferences and separate a good tenant from a high-risk one, while staying in compliance with federal housing rules and regulations. The easy-to-use platform combines advanced technology with the features and capabilities you need most to move your business forward.
Customize screening criteria and cut wait time
Property managers can decide − and rank − which search criteria is most aligned with the portfolio’s business goals to maintain complete control of decision making. Reports are both thorough and easy to read, and instant criminal record searches are at your fingertips. The configurable setup wizard allows for criteria adjustment, and even variation, between portfolios, buildings and units. Instant criminal records searches minimize or eliminate the wait time for status updates.
The overall recommendation score from 0-10 uses an intelligent scoring algorithm that leverages your criteria, similar tenant profiles screened and the combined applicant score to help you minimize delinquency risk. Now, you can make decisions based on the combined scores for all applicants and guarantors on the property – not just an individual score.
