Tenant Screening | Property Management Tips

Background and Credit checks are always a good idea too! However, in my area, they are not standard and we actually had less positive experiences when we got tenants through a property management company who did credit checks as part of their screening process. Personally, I have the most success by avoiding the red flags in this video and relying heavily on previous rental history.

As a former landlord EVERYTHING this woman says is spot on. I wish the internet was invented when I started renting.

You are young but knows a lot with confidence. Explain very clear, easy to understand and point very well. I took a lot of memo for my future tenant. I appreciate all !!

Mandy, you are so real!! My dad has a property manager that really doesn't do things thoroughly... or at all without us having to remind her. We're thinking of shifting the responsibility to myself, and your videos have been so helpful. Everything you share is realistic and practical -- exactly what I need. Also, you have such a kind and gentle personality! Thank you for being you and sharing your wisdom!

Mandy, my wife and I are just about to shift from a property management company to handling the rental process ourselves. Your videos are a great source of reality-based information. Thank you!

Good presentation and clarity Mandy. I really appreciate it as my wife and I are technically now Landlords/Property Investors. Every little bit counts.

My tenant had poor record of on time payment. I thought I would give them a chance, but they started paying late every month right after a few months they moved in while they bought 2 new cars during the time. It never charge them 10% late fee per contract. It has become later and later. I have not received half of previous month rent yet. People way of thinking can be hard to change.

I have some tips and tricks, but your video is very well put I've been a landlord for 42 years and I'm still learning

After somebody wastes money with a bad tenant your points are are very good, as a landlord you're never through learning until you die. Thank you for your video😊

You hit it, Mandy! Background check should be the PRIORITY of landlords. The worst part of skipping this step is getting your property be seized by the government if the tenant turns out to be a law violator. Civil forfeiture is real, and this may happen to any landlords if they do not take screening seriously. Drug-related and money-laundering related crimes conducted by tenants in your property may lead to civil forfeiture, and this will surely cost you lots of money to prove your innocence.

we're starting the process to manage a property for a family member and thanks for the tips, +sub!

REFERENCE SCREENING !!!! .... beware, a landlord wanting their tenant gone will tell lies to you, lol. And tenants will set up fake references, friends who will lie.

[Laudanum-gqbl]

I give potential landlords references for my pets — One from my current landlord and one from my vet stating that the cat(s) have no pottying problems or destructive behaviors. That helps to demonstrate that I am a responsible pet owner and the pets are well-looked-after.

I recommend the same to other pet owners.

Hi. I see you didn’t mention credit scores on your criteria. What are your thoughts on that?

[gregorygerbrandt]

Hi Mandy! Your shag carpet wall!! Someone looks like an Elvis fan;-)

[CarolynWarloe]

In Portland Oregon, you CAN NOT require 3 times the rent, 2 to 2 1/2 times is maximum depending on the rent.

[kevinburroughs]

I always take a look inside their car. It doesn't matter if its older, but if its full of trash and a mess inside I never rent to people like that. They will treat your house the same way.
