Self-Viewing Tours with Tenant Turner
At DFW Property Management.com, we prioritize convenience and flexibility for our prospective tenants. Recognizing the evolving needs of the modern renter, we’ve partnered with Tenant Turner to offer self-viewing tours. This innovative approach allows potential tenants to tour our properties at a time that suits them, without the need for an agent to be present. Using an electronic lockbox system, Tenant Turner ensures secure access to the property while providing a seamless viewing experience. This not only enhances the property viewing process for tenants but also ensures that our properties receive maximum exposure to interested parties.
Our 5-Point Tenant Screening Process
- Credit Check: We conduct a comprehensive credit check to ensure the tenant’s financial stability.
- Criminal Check: A thorough criminal history check helps us identify any past criminal behavior.
- Eviction Record Check: We verify if the prospective tenant has any past evictions.
- Rental Verification: We check the tenant’s rental payment history with current and past landlords.
- Income Verification: We verify the tenant’s employment history and other income sources.
Application and Lease Signing Process
Once a rental application is approved, the applicant is required to:
- Sign the lease agreement
- Pay one full month’s rent (or more) as a security deposit
- Pay an administrative fee and any pet fees
We use the Texas Association of Realtors lease and all its addenda. All documents are signed online using Dotloop, ensuring a seamless and efficient process.
