Smart Tenant Screening For
Salt Lake County Property Owners

As a rental property management company serving Salt Lake County—including Salt Lake City, Murray, Draper, West Valley City and surrounding areas—we’ve helped countless property owners find reliable tenants for their investments.

When you invest time in proper tenant screening:

  • You’ll have fewer payment issues
  • Property damage is less likely
  • Your experience as a landlord improves significantly

Many property owners who come to us struggled because they didn’t adequately screen tenants upfront. Don’t make this common mistake.

Use Professional Screening Tools

Modern background screening tools provide property owners with comprehensive information quickly. With just a few clicks, you can access detailed reports about potential tenants.

Require Complete Applications

Make it clear to applicants that their application must be 100% complete. Every field needs an answer – incomplete applications delay the process and may hide important information you need to make decisions.

Review Background Check Results

Once you receive the background check results, examine:

  • Credit scores and history
  • Criminal background information
  • Previous rental history
  • Employment verification

Remember that imperfect credit doesn’t automatically disqualify an applicant. You can offset risk by adjusting security deposit requirements based on their financial profile.

Consider Professional Help

If tenant screening feels overwhelming, many property management companies (including Advanced Solutions Property Management) offer tenant placement as a standalone service. We can handle the screening process even if you manage the property yourself.
