QUESTION 15 OF 30

What verification methods do you use for a tenant application?

"Although I have not performed any verification as of yet, I know the routine I went through when leasing my first apartment this year. I provided references, information for a credit check and gave the leasing agent my drivers' license as ID. I am eager to learn more about your verification checks and the important steps you take to ensure a good match with properties and tenants."

Most standard tenant applications will come with a background check that could include past tenancy references, criminal background checks, credit checks, identity, and employment verification. Talk to the interviewer about the types of audit you use in your tenant background process.

"First and foremost, I check for identity. I ask for a drivers' license or a passport to make sure that the person is who they say they are. Next, I ask for a list of landlord references, current employer, and pay stubs. I am meticulous to ensure that a tenant is who they portray themselves to be. This careful approach protects all parties and, most especially, the property owners."
