How we screen rental applicants

Our custom in-house screening combines personalized processing plus advanced data search technology to minimize the risk of placing a difficult tenant. We have screened over 25,000 rental applications and have a 99% rent collection rate.

One of the most important aspects of property management is the selection of a tenant. We realize that if we place a high-quality, long-term resident, who pays their rent on time, and takes care of the property - everyone benefits. The results of our industry-leading screening process speak for themselves.

We have processed over 20,000 rental applications so we know exactly what to look for (and what to avoid) in a high-quality resident. 99% of our tenants pay rent each month and our eviction rate is less than 1% per year.

We comply with Colorado portable tenant screening report laws as well as applicant screening laws for subsidized residents.

In the rare event we do place a tenant who does not pay their rent and has to be evicted, we will pay 100% of the legal costs associated with the eviction process (to a maximum of $1000) through our Risk Mitigation Guarantee.

Should a rental applicant be denied for any reason, our ‘one rental application fee per lifetime’ policy allows an applicant to reapply once they have improved their score.

We do not charge any type of minimum management fee during the vacancy of a property. We only charge our management fee as a percentage of the actual rental amount we collect. So when your property is vacant, you do not pay any management fees.

Have a Question?

We keep you fully compliant with all laws governing applicant screening and fair housing, including:

Overview of House Bill 23-1099

Our applicant screening process complies with HB23-1099, Portable Screening Report for Residential Leases and SB23-184, Protections for Residential Tenants prohibiting a landlord from considering certain information relating to a prospective tenant's income or rental history, establishing a maximum amount that a landlord can require as a security deposit.

Overview of Senate Bill 23-184

This law removes the most effective tool landlords have in determining the likelihood that an applicant will pay rent on time - their credit score.

For subsidized applicants, landlords may no longer consider their credit score, lack of credit score, or adverse credit event. For non-subsidized applicants, landlords may still consider their credit score.

This law also expands the definition of "housing subsidy" to include "any portion of a rental payment that is derived from a public or private assistance, grant, or loan program and that is paid by the program directly, indirectly, or on behalf of a tenant to a landlord" As 'source of income' is a protected status in Colorado, landlords may NOT decline an applicant based on their subsidy status.
