Tenant Screening For Rhode Island & Southeastern Massachusetts

 

Tenant Screening Rhode Island

Here at Nexus Property Management™ we pride ourselves on placing quality tenants in all our properties. Our rigorous 6 point background investigation gives our property owners the best chance of filling vacant properties with the right type of tenants. The most vital stage of the tenant screening process is to find out who the applicant is, where they’ve been, what they do and where they are likely headed. During our background investigation phase the following 6 areas will be closely examined in order to provide our owners with as much information as possible in order to evaluate each application.

  • CURRENT LIVING SITUATION
    • This component examines the tenant’s current and past residences. The current landlord will receive a call from our leasing division to inquire about the current tenancy and to discover if there has been any notable issues (Nonpayment, damages, etc). Most landlords are very open during this conversation and will explain if they are a desirable/undesirable tenant. In addition, their prior landlord will also be contacted in order to hopefully establish a positive trend in tenancy.
  • IDENTITY
    • Is the prospective tenant lying about who they are? NO CHANCE! Our software matches up social security numbers, license numbers, addresses, last names, dates of birth, license plate numbers, etc. to make sure everything listed is correctly related. If a person tries to enter false information the system will notify us and the tenant will be immediately screened out.
  • EMPLOYMENT
    • Our leasing division will contact current employment supervisors, obtain scanned copies of paystubs, and also require employment verification letters as well (if necessary). The most important part of renting is finding out whether or not they are likely to pay. Our standard guideline is that tenants collectively earn 3X (or more) the rent amount in monthly income in order to be considered.
  • CREDIT HISTORY
    • During our screening we obtain records from all current creditors and uncover the prospective tenant’s current indebtedness (if any). Our software obtains all amounts owed and lists all creditor's names. In addition, bankruptcies and foreclosures will also appear in full detail.
  • EVICTION CHECK
    • Evictions are an immediate red flag, and typically if they appear on a prospective tenant’s record it is not recommended to approve their application. Some extenuating circumstances can apply, but generally this is an automatic disqualification. An example of an exception was a gentleman who had cancer and did not have health insurance. He fell deep into his medical bills and was unable to pay his rent during that period of time.
  • CRIMINAL CHECK RI eviction service
    • A person’s criminal record says a great deal about their character traits. Generally, our staff will take a look at the severity of the charge to determine whether or not their application can move forward. Simple charges like driving with a suspended license can be overlooked, but evidence of robbery, car theft, assaults, etc. are an immediate red flag.
  • TERRORIST
    • International and Domestic terrorist databases are screened to verify that the prospective tenant is not wanted by any global agency and/or has not been arrested in the past for this type of crime. It is very rare to come across a prospective tenant with a red flag in this area, but we still check each prospective tenant for your safety

Nexus Feedback

As someone who has known the owner & the employees for almost 2 years , it is impressive to see how dedicated everyone is to their roles. Its all in the details and from start to finish I have watched this company and its staff continue to try to improve on their systems & their work. These guys really take pride in what they are doing and it shows. It's been really cool to see an owner & his employees take so much pride in Nexus these guys aren't satisfied with just being good, they are always striving to be the best.

I had come across Nexus back in July while looking for an apartment. Unfortunately due to a loss of job I had to give up the apartment I had just signed a lease on. The guys made the whole process so easy even after finding out I'd lost my job. They were kind enough to return my deposit to me. Not that I am back on my feet again and looking for a place I immediately went to see what these guys had available. They made the process so easy I am hoping to be able to find something I love and rent from this amazing company.
