Our Comprehensive Applicant Screening Process

     A bad tenant is far more expensive than a short vacancy. The eviction process in Missouri can take months, costing you thousands in lost rent, not to mention the risk of significant property damage and staggering legal fees.

     Our rigorous, data-driven tenant screening process is the single most important action we take to protect your investment. We don't just find a tenant; we find the right tenant.

Our multi-step screening includes:

  • Income & Employment Verification: We require all applicants to have a verifiable gross income of at least three times the monthly rent. We confirm this directly with pay stubs and employment references to ensure financial stability.
  • Detailed Rental History: We don't just take their word for it. We contact previous landlords to verify their rental history, looking for a pattern of on-time payments, proper care of the property, and lease compliance.
  • Comprehensive Background & Credit Checks: Our screening includes a detailed credit report, a national criminal background check, and a thorough search of eviction history. This gives us a complete picture of the applicant's financial responsibility.
  • Personal Conversations: Data only tells part of the story. We believe in having personal conversations with applicants to clarify any concerns, understand their situation, and set clear expectations from day one.
  • Full Legal & Fair Housing Compliance: Our process is designed to protect you from risk by strictly adhering to all federal, state, and local laws. This includes the Federal Fair Housing Act and local regulations like Kansas City's Tenant Bill of Rights (Ordinance 231019), ensuring our screening is always fair, consistent, and legally sound.


Final Tenant Selection & Move-In Coordination

     After our rigorous screening, we provide you with a clear summary of the most qualified applicants so you can make an informed final decision. Once you’ve selected a tenant, our team manages the entire move-in process to ensure a smooth, professional, and legally compliant transition.

This final coordination is critical for setting the right expectations and protecting your property from day one.

  • Lease Signing & Legal Compliance: We prepare a comprehensive, attorney-reviewed lease agreement that includes all necessary state and local addendums. We manage the digital lease-signing process, ensuring all documents are correctly executed by all parties.
  • Security Deposit Collection: We collect the full security deposit and any other move-in funds before handing over the keys. These funds are handled in strict accordance with Missouri law, protecting you from future legal disputes.
  • Detailed Move-In Inspection: We conduct a thorough move-in inspection with the new tenant, documenting the exact condition of the property with photos. This signed report serves as the baseline for the tenancy and is a critical tool for fairly assessing the security deposit at move-out.
  • Smooth Tenant Onboarding: We ensure the new tenant has everything they need, including keys, online portal access for rent payments, and clear instructions on maintenance procedures and utility transfers. This professional onboarding starts the landlord-tenant relationship on a positive note, which is key to long-term tenant retention.
