Thorough Applicant Screening with MKM Property Management
Finding the right tenant is one of the most important steps in protecting your investment. At MKM Property Management, we take the guesswork out of tenant selection with a rigorous applicant screening process that helps ensure your property is placed in the hands of qualified, responsible renters.
Our goal is simple: minimize risk, reduce vacancy-related costs, and give you peace of mind—knowing your property is being entrusted to the right people.
Why Applicant Screening Is Essential
A thorough screening process doesn’t just protect against missed rent payments—it safeguards your entire investment. By identifying qualified applicants from the start, we help you avoid:
Costly evictions and legal issues
Property damage caused by neglectful tenants
Prolonged vacancies from tenant turnover
Delays in rent collection and compliance issues
With MKM Property Management, you get a screening process built on accuracy, fairness, and compliance—delivering better tenant matches and more reliable rental income.
What Our Screening Process Includes
Our applicant screening is comprehensive, yet efficient, ensuring we never delay the leasing process. Every application is thoroughly evaluated using key criteria such as:
Credit Check: We review credit history to assess financial responsibility
Criminal Background Check: Nationwide screening to protect your property and community

Employment & Income Verification: Confirming job status and income to ensure rent affordability
Eviction History Search: Screening for past eviction records to avoid potential repeat behavior
Each applicant is reviewed against fair housing standards, ensuring an equal opportunity process that complies with all local and federal regulations.
