How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment

At Emerald Key Property Management, we understand that while renting your property quickly is important, placing the right tenant is essential. Selecting a well-qualified renter from the start leads to a smoother experience, minimizes risk, and helps protect your investment for the long term.

Many landlords believe a simple credit check and employment verification are enough, but our process goes much further. We conduct a detailed, high-quality tenant screening that includes:

• Credit check – full review of credit history and payment patterns
• Employment verification – confirmation of stable, reliable income
• Debt-to-income ratio – ensuring rent is financially sustainable
• Eviction history – identifying prior rental issues or court filings
• Criminal background check – reviewing relevant records for safety and compliance
• Previous landlord references – gathering insights on rental behavior and reliability

Unlike screening methods that focus only on credit scores, we take a comprehensive look at the overall applicant. This proven process consistently results in responsible, long-term tenants who pay on time and take care of your property.
