Understand what should be and could be asked of a potential tenant during the screening process.
One of the most important keys of being a successful landlord occurs before the official landlord/tenant relationship even begins, to wit, appropriately performing the screening process. In order to improve the chances of obtaining a viable tenant, while legally navigating what you can lawfully do or say, it is necessary to know what can or cannot be done. This topic will help landlords understand what should be and could be asked of a potential tenant during the screening process. It will also assist tenants in understanding what he or she is required to disclose and what can be kept private. Consequently, this information is beneficial to both the landlord and tenant to ensure either's rights are neither violated nor wrongfully surrounded.
