Our Services

Tenant placement is one of the most critical factors in the profitability of your rental property. A bad tenant can lead to costly property damage, unpaid rent, and years of financial recovery. At Doss & Spaulding Properties, we take tenant screening very seriously to safeguard your investment and ensure you have reliable, responsible tenants in your property.

Our rigorous tenant screening process is designed to identify the best-qualified applicants while adhering to all landlord-tenant laws, fair housing regulations, and other applicable guidelines. Here’s how we ensure your property is in good hands:

Our Tenant Screening Process

1. Credit, Background, and Eviction Checks: We perform comprehensive checks to evaluate an applicant’s financial history, rental behavior, and legal background. Any history of eviction is an immediate disqualifier.
2. Income and Employment Verification: To ensure financial stability, we require gross household income to be at least three times the monthly rent. This standard helps confirm that the applicant can comfortably afford the rent.
3. Landlord References: Verifiable rental history with positive feedback from previous landlords is a key factor in our decision-making process. We look for tenants who have demonstrated responsibility and respect for prior rental agreements.
4. Criminal History Review: For the safety of your property and community, we screen for major felonies within the past 10 years, including violent crimes, drug-related offenses, and sexual charges. Applicants with such records are not approved.
5. Outstanding Debts or Utility Balances: We check for unpaid utility balances or debts in collections as part of our financial reliability assessment.
6. Bankruptcy, Liens, or Judgments: Applicants must have no bankruptcies, liens, or judgments filed within the last seven years to qualify for tenancy.

Why Our Process Works

Our goal is to place tenants who are financially qualified and demonstrate a history of responsible behavior. By thoroughly evaluating each applicant’s background, we reduce risks and help ensure a positive rental experience for both you and your tenants.

At Doss & Spaulding Properties, we understand that every tenant represents a partnership between you as the property owner and them as the occupant. Our screening process is designed to protect that partnership by finding tenants who will treat your property with care while meeting their financial obligations.

Let us handle the details so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your investment is in capable hands.

At Doss & Spaulding Properties, we understand that placing the right tenant is crucial for a successful rental experience. Our tenant placement service is designed to take the stress and complexity out of this process, whether you choose full property management or prefer to manage your property yourself after placement.

Our Tenant Placement Process Includes:

1. Strategic Property Marketing: We create professional rental listings and utilize multiple platforms to attract quality tenants, quickly.
2. Rigorous Applicant Screening: Our thorough vetting process ensures only qualified, responsible tenants are considered.
3. Lease Agreement Execution: We prepare and execute a comprehensive lease agreement that protects your interests.
4. Detailed Lease Review: We conduct a session with the tenant to clarify terms, answer questions, and set clear expectations.
5. Move-In Property Inspection: A thorough documented inspection sets the baseline for the property's condition.
6. Move-In Coordination: We handle all aspects of move-in, including fund collection and key handover.

Setting the Stage for Success:

• Clear Rental Guidelines: All rental terms and conditions are clearly stated in the lease agreement, ensuring transparency and reducing potential conflicts.
• Documented Move-In Condition: Our detailed move-in inspection, complete with photographs, establishes the property's condition at the start of tenancy. This protects both you and the tenant, setting clear expectations for the property's condition upon move-out.
• Proactive Maintenance: The move-in inspection also allows us to address any overlooked repairs or maintenance issues, ensuring the property is in top condition for your new tenant.

This service includes:

• Professional handling of all tenant placement aspects.
• Reduced vacancy periods through effective marketing.
