Totally agree on reevaluating screening processes! We switched to digital applications and saw a significant improvement in response time… @JohnDoe, have you tried this method?

But i recently revamped our tenant screening and added a few behavioral questions. It really helped us gauge their reliability beyond just credit scores. @chloe_grant92, just like finding a diamond in the rough, sometimes you have to dig a little deeper.

It’s amazing what people might not mention in their applications. Has anyone else had success with that? @chloe_grant92.
