Our Screening Process

How We Screen Rental Applicants

Placing the right resident is the single most important part of protecting your investment. At STG Rental Management, our in-house screening process combines personalized review with advanced data-search technology to find high-quality, long-term residents.

We’ve processed over 10,000 rental applications, and because of our rigorous process, we maintain a 99% rent-collection rate and an eviction rate below 1% each year.

Why Our Screening Works

Our experience has shown that great outcomes come from great residents. We look for people who:

  • pay rent on time,

  • care for the property,

  • communicate clearly, and

  • want to stay long-term.

By placing strong residents from the start, we reduce turnover, minimize property damage, and protect your monthly cash flow.

Our 12-Point Resident Screening System

Every applicant is thoroughly reviewed through a multi-step screening system, including:

  • Income verification

  • Employment verification

  • Credit review

  • Rental & landlord history

  • Criminal background checks

  • Eviction history

  • Identity verification

  • Public record screening

  • Bankruptcy search

  • Pet screening (when applicable)

  • Fraud-prevention checks

  • Pre-qualification before showings

This comprehensive, layered approach allows us to see the full picture of an applicantfar beyond a simple credit score.
