Tenant Screening

Protect Your Property Investment with Comprehensive Tenant Verification

Our Multi-Layered Screening Process

Our tenant screening process begins with establishing clear standards and criteria for ideal tenants, focusing on income-to-rent ratios of at least 2.5 times the monthly rent to ensure financial stability. We conduct comprehensive verification of all application information, including personal details, employment history, and previous rental arrangements. Our investigators personally contact and verify employment details to ensure income stability and job security, as sudden job loss can lead to payment difficulties.

Advanced Verification Techniques

Beyond basic application review, our screening includes thorough criminal background checks to identify any recent evictions or criminal records that could pose risks to your property. We verify identity through multiple government-issued documents and cross-reference information across various databases to detect potential fraud. Our team conducts detailed reference checks with previous landlords, employers, and character references to gain insights into the applicant’s reliability and behavior patterns.

Financial and Credit Assessment

We perform comprehensive credit history analysis and financial assessments to evaluate the applicant’s ability to meet rental obligations consistently. Our investigators review bank statements, employment records, and conduct property searches to verify assets and financial stability. We also examine any history of bankruptcies, tax liens, or outstanding judgments that could impact their ability to pay rent.

Legal Compliance and Documentation

All our tenant screening procedures strictly adhere to Ontario’s Human Rights Code and privacy legislation, ensuring fair and non-discriminatory practices. We obtain proper written consent from applicants before conducting any background checks and provide them with the opportunity to review and verify the accuracy of their information. Our comprehensive reports provide clear explanations of findings and potential risk factors to help landlords make informed decisions.
