Credit scoring is one important factor in our tenant screening, but it is not the sole criterion. We use credit scores to gain financial context but combine this with rental history, employment verification, and debt evaluation for a complete picture.

• Credit scores help identify financial reliability and payment patterns.
• We also consider factors like past evictions or bankruptcies.
• Our process recognizes that credit alone doesn’t reflect tenant responsibility fully.

This balanced approach helps us select tenants who are both financially sound and dependable. For more insights on why credit scores alone fall short, see our blog post on tenant screening here.
