Tenant Screening Guide

A simple, repeatable screening process to help you choose great tenants faster without cutting corners.

Good tenant screening starts with a consistent checklist. Every applicant should answer the same questions, submit the same documents, and go through the same review flow.

Focus on the basics first: income verification, rental history, employment stability, and reference checks. When you score applicants against the same standards, your decisions stay easier to defend and easier to repeat.

Property Commander helps keep the process organized by storing notes, lease details, and tenant history in one place so you can compare applicants without digging through scattered spreadsheets.
