Analyze Credit Score & History

We take a thorough approach to analyzing credit scores and histories. We delve into credit reports to assess an applicant's financial responsibility, looking at factors such as debt levels, payment patterns, and overall credit health. This detailed examination helps us identify tenants who are more likely to meet their rental obligations consistently, safeguarding your investment.
Feature Verify Income & Employment icon.

Verify Income & Employment

Income and employment verification are critical components of our tenant screening process at ProActive. We require proof of income, such as pay stubs or tax returns, and confirm employment status directly with employers. This ensures that applicants have a stable and sufficient income to afford the rent, thereby reducing the risk of late payments or defaults.
Feature Conduct Background Check icon.

Conduct Background Check

Conducting thorough background checks is a cornerstone of ProActive’s tenant screening. We review criminal records to identify any potential red flags that could pose a risk to property safety and community well-being. This diligent process helps us select tenants who not only meet financial criteria but also contribute to a secure and harmonious living environment.
Feature Nationwide Bankruptcy & Eviction Screening icon.

Nationwide Bankruptcy & Eviction Screening

ProActive utilizes nationwide bankruptcy and eviction checks to safeguard against high-risk tenants. By accessing comprehensive databases, we identify applicants with a history of financial instability or previous evictions. This rigorous check helps us avoid tenants who might default on rent or engage in problematic behavior, ensuring a more stable rental experience.
Feature Rental History Verification icon.

Rental History Verification

Reviewing rental history is essential at ProActive. We contact previous landlords to verify an applicant's past rental behavior, including payment punctuality, property care, and adherence to lease terms. This insight allows us to gauge the likelihood of future compliance and care, ensuring that we place reliable and responsible tenants in your property.
