How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

Finding a great tenant takes more than speed. It takes the right process. While we work efficiently to get your rental property leased, our priority is always placing the right tenant, not just the fastest one. A little extra time spent on tenant screening upfront leads to fewer headaches, fewer missed payments, and a much better rental experience down the road, for you and your tenant.

A lot of landlords assume tenant screening just means pulling a credit report and calling an employer. But a thorough tenant screening process goes far beyond that. At Mako Property Management, we take a comprehensive approach to evaluating every rental applicant, including:

• Credit history review
• Employment and income verification
• Debt-to-income ratio analysis
• Eviction history check
• Criminal background check
• Previous landlord references

We never rely on a credit score alone to make a leasing decision. Our tenant screening process looks at the full picture of each applicant, which is exactly why it works. Property owners throughout Hampton Roads trust our leasing process to place reliable, responsible tenants, protecting both their investment and their income for the long term.
