Why is tenant screening important?

Every landlord wants to find the best tenants—ones who will maintain the property as if it were their own, pay rent on time, and let you know proactively if any problems arise. But if you're relying on guesswork and good vibes to evaluate prospective tenants, you'll eventually run into trouble. You want to rent to great tenants, not mediocre ones that only seem great on the surface.

That's why a tenant background check and credit check is an essential to-do before signing a lease. With the information gleaned from BiggerPockets's tenant screening tools, you'll learn if a potential renter tends to pay their bills on time—or if they have several accounts in bad standing. Have they been convicted of property damage? You can find out with a criminal history.
