Co-living screening goes beyond credit checks. We verify income, run background checks, and assess household compatibility. Ensuring every tenant is a fit for shared living and a reliable rent payer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tenant Screening & Placement FAQ
What does your tenant screening include?
Our 5-point protocol covers identity and criminal background checks, credit and financial analysis, employment and income verification (minimum 2.5x room rent), rental history review with previous landlord contact, and a co-living compatibility assessment unique to shared-living environments.
How long does screening take?
Most applications are processed within 24–48 hours. We move quickly to secure quality tenants before they choose another option, while never cutting corners on verification.
What is the compatibility assessment?
Beyond financials, we evaluate lifestyle preferences, work schedules, cleanliness standards, pet ownership, noise tolerance, and shared-space expectations. This step is critical for co-living because household harmony directly impacts tenant retention and your revenue.
What are your minimum requirements?
We require verifiable income of at least 2.5x the room rent, no eviction history, clean background check, and a minimum credit score adjusted by market. Specific thresholds vary - contact us for details on your market.
How do you handle Fair Housing compliance?
Every screening decision follows documented, consistent criteria aligned with federal Fair Housing Act and Florida Fair Housing regulations. We never discriminate based on protected classes and maintain thorough records of all screening decisions.
What happens if a tenant doesn't work out?
If a placed tenant violates lease terms, we handle the enforcement process - from written notices through legal proceedings if necessary. Our thorough upfront screening means this happens in less than 3% of placements.
