How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment

Beaufort Tenant Screening

At Middleton Street Property Management, we understand that placing the right tenant is the cornerstone of protecting your investment and ensuring long-term profitability. Our tenant screening process is designed to minimize risk and maximize peace of mind for property investors. Every individual over the age of 18 who will reside in the home is required to complete our full application and screening process. This includes identity verification, comprehensive credit checks, and a tiered approval system for applicants with lower scores that may require additional deposits or monthly contingency fees.

Income verification ensures that applicants earn at least three times the monthly rent, confirmed through pay stubs, tax returns, or other documented sources. We also perform thorough rental history evaluations, reaching out to previous landlords to verify on-time payments, lease compliance, and property condition. Our process includes nationwide criminal background screenings to identify and exclude applicants with serious offenses that could put your property or neighborhood at risk.

Additionally, we utilize a third-party pet screening service to assess and manage pet-related risks, ensuring transparency and consistency in how we evaluate animals in your property. This meticulous approach to tenant screening has contributed to an average tenancy length of nearly three years among our residents—proof of our commitment to placing responsible, reliable tenants. By entrusting your property to Middleton Street Property Management, you gain the confidence that comes from knowing your home is in good hands from day one.
