Placing the wrong tenant is one of the most expensive mistakes a rental property owner can make - missed rent, property damage, and a slow, costly eviction process if it goes wrong. Tenant screening is the single biggest lever for avoiding that outcome, which is why it's treated as non-negotiable on every property Sincere manages, not an optional add-on.
Every applicant goes through a 5-point screening before a lease is ever offered - no exceptions, no shortcuts to fill a vacancy faster.
Start with a free, no-obligation evaluation of your rental.
Credit history, employment verification, previous landlord references, eviction history, and a criminal record check - the same five checks on every applicant.
The application is declined and the search continues. A vacancy sitting empty a few extra days is far cheaper than a bad tenancy that lasts months.
It reduces the risk of late payments and property damage, and it tends to place tenants who stay longer - which means less turnover and fewer vacancy costs.
