FAQ

Landlords will collect rental references from interested renters via a rental application. One thing that is commonly found on rental applications is the request for personal, or character, references. As a landlord, you want to do a comprehensive background check on the tenant which includes calling tenant references.

Rental references, or referrals, are votes of confidence from people who know you in a personal, financial, educational, professional, or prior rental experience setting. Having a few qualified people who can vouch for you is one of the things that could help ensure a landlord chooses you.

Landlords should absolutely request a reference if the applicant has a rental history. Our policy is a credit check, background check, employment/financials verification, and a landlord reference. It's important to know if you're getting a quality tenant and all of the above checks help create a fuller picture.

Request an Application. Start by having every prospective tenant complete an application. Run a Credit Check. Run a Background Check. Contact the Previous Landlords. Contact the Tenant's Employer. Interview the Tenant.

Rest assured there are no privacy laws limiting what a landlord can or can't disclose about a previous tenant. You can say anything you wish. However, our advice is to stick to the facts and only give information that you can support with written proof so that your former tenants won't accuse you of slander.

References from past landlords may indicate how an applicant would occupy your property, and this information could help you avoid a bad outcome such as late rent payments, property damage, complaints from neighbors, or an eviction. The eviction process is time-consuming and costly.

Landlords call employers to verify you are actually employed. Some less-than-honest tenants may lie about employment and provide a phony number. A landlord often calls the main line of the business to see if he can reach human resources or your boss.

Landlord referencing This involves getting in touch with the tenant's previous landlord to find out how they behaved as a tenant. They can tell you if the tenant paid rent on time, if they treated the property with respect and any other information that might influence the decision.
