Typically between 8% to 12% of the monthly rent collected. But the fine print is usually where the surprises come from.

-Credit Check: Evaluates the tenant's credit history to assess financial reliability. Landlords look for a history of timely payments, the amount of debt the applicant has in relation to their income, and any history of bankruptcy.

-Criminal History: Searches national and state criminal databases to identify any felony or misdemeanor convictions. Some locations have restrictions on how this information can be used in rental decisions.

-Eviction History: Checks whether the applicant has any previous evictions. This is crucial for landlords because a history of eviction can be a predictor of future rental issues.

-Employment Verification: Confirms the applicant's employment status and income to ensure they have a stable source of income to pay rent. This often involves contacting the employer directly and requesting pay stubs or tax documents from the applicant.

-Rental History: Contacts previous landlords to inquire about the tenant’s rental behavior, including payment history, care of the property, any complaints from neighbors, and reasons for leaving.

-Poor Credit Score: A low credit score can indicate financial instability or a history of not meeting financial obligations, suggesting the tenant might struggle to pay rent on time.

-History of Evictions: Previous evictions are significant red flags, as they suggest the tenant has had serious issues with landlords in the past.

-Criminal Record: Depending on the nature and recency of the crime, a criminal record can be a red flag. Landlords must balance safety concerns with fair housing laws, which sometimes limit the use of criminal records in rental decisions.

-Inconsistent Employment: Frequent job changes or gaps in employment may indicate instability in income, potentially affecting the tenant’s ability to consistently pay rent.

-Insufficient Income: If the tenant's income is less than two to three times the monthly rent, it might indicate they could struggle to afford the rent along with their other expenses.

-Negative References from Previous Landlords: Reports of late rent payments, property damage, disputes, or eviction notices from previous landlords are serious concerns.

-Unwillingness to Provide References or Complete Checks: Reluctance or refusal to provide required references or consent to background checks may suggest the tenant has something to hide.

-Falsified Information: Any discrepancies or lies found in the application—such as falsified income, employment details, or rental history—signal dishonesty and are major red flags.

-Poor Communication or Unprofessional Behavior: How a tenant communicates and behaves during the screening process can be indicative of future interactions. Rudeness, poor communication, or lack of punctuality can be concerning.

-Urgency to Move In: While some situations may require quick moves, excessive urgency without a reasonable explanation can indicate problems with their current living situation or a desire to skip thorough screening.

-Smoking or Pets When Prohibited: If a tenant insists on smoking or having pets in a property where these are prohibited, it may indicate a lack of respect for rental agreements and property care.
