Prior to Viewing Screening
Before letting a prospective tenant look at the property some landlords screen applicants, in a conversational manner, the answers will tell you a lot and save wasting time on unnecessary viewings.
Screening questions might include:
?What is your current living situation?
?Why are you moving?
?When do you plan on moving?
?What is your ideal move-in date?
?Can you comfortably afford the rent?
?What is your monthly income?
?Can I ask for references from your former landlords and employer?
?Will you submit a rental application?
?Will you consent to a credit and background check?
?Do you have pets?
?Do you smoke?
?Will you have roommates?
Landlord then go on to carry out a range of additional checks, pre-tenancy, such as: affordability, credit referencing, previous landlord and employment references
