When screening potential tenants, it’s essential to have a clear and accurate understanding of everyone responsible for the lease. At SingleKey, we strongly recommend running a Tenant Report on each individual whose name will appear on the lease agreement—including co-signers.
Why Run Separate Reports?
Each person has their own unique credit history, financial profile, and rental background. Running a report on all leaseholders ensures you’re getting the full picture before making a leasing decision. This is especially important when dealing with:
-
Joint applicants
-
Married couples
-
Roommates
-
Co-signers or guarantors
Even if applicants are married or living together, their credit files are maintained separately. If both individuals will be contributing to the rent, two reports should be generated—one for each applicant.
Protect Your Investment with Comprehensive Screening
By screening all leaseholders, you reduce risk and make more informed decisions, ensuring that everyone listed on the lease is financially reliable and accountable.
If you have any questions about how to screen multiple applicants or set up a joint application, feel free to contact us at info@singlekey.com. We’re here to help make your tenant screening process as thorough and simple as possible.
