Home in RTP, North Carolina, those of you who work with property managers to find tenants, how much say do you have in the final selection process? My property manager does the due diligence (credit check, job verification, etc.), but I had a bad experience where they approved tenants who ended up damaging my property and skipping out on the last two months of rent. Now, I want to have final approval over who moves in, but my property manager said the Fair Housing Act restricts this. CONTD…

To be completely honest, no amount of credit and background check can prove if a person will not damage your property in the end. Good credit doesn’t mean I care about your property nor does having good financial stability. I worked as a property manager for many years. Also a person can have a job today and be jobless tomorrow. Being a landlord carries many risk and these items are just a few of them.

Best thing I did to reduce my worries with a tenant I was nervous about was have my prop manager do quarterly inspections - it cost me like $75-125 a quarter but basically could flag damage before the tenant ever left

I’m not looking to discriminate—just to ensure the tenants have financial stability.

How do you handle this? Do you trust the property manager’s process, or do you insist on personally reviewing tenants before they sign a lease? Would love to hear how others navigate this!

Seems like setting new requirements would help with this and avoid the risks your manager identified. Maybe you’d be able to identify some consistent red flags based on the cases you mentioned.

Republicans... in hindsight, do you think it was a political miscalculation to have Pence on the ticket?

Thoughts?
