How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment

At Altara, our goal isn't just to fill your vacancy—we're here to find the right tenant for your rental. A fast lease may seem ideal, but choosing a well-qualified renter can save you time, stress, and money down the road. That’s why our tenant screening process goes far beyond a basic credit and employment check.

We use a detailed and legally compliant process to answer four essential questions:

Is the applicant who they say they are?

Government-issued ID verification
Social Security number validation

Can the applicant afford the property?

Pre-screening income assessment
Employment verification
Proof of income

Does the applicant have a history of financial responsibility?

Full credit report and score
National eviction history check
Public records and tenant history review

Will the applicant take care of the property and be a responsible resident?

Prior landlord reference check
National criminal background search*
Sex offender registry check
Terrorism watchlist screening

We believe that thorough screening is the key to long-term leasing success and satisfied property owners.

Please note: Every application is reviewed without regard to race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. Our process strictly adheres to Fair Housing laws.

*Criminal checks only look into convictions.
