Tenant Screening

Welcome to our tenant screening service. Many investors and owners are more hands-on and prefer to manage and lease their own properties. Tompkins Management Company provides our tenant screening service À la carte. It is a FREE service we provide to owners, investors, REALTORS®, homeowner and condominium associations. The prospective tenant pays the screening fee.

Screening Applicants is by far the most important aspect in finding the best tenant and preventing headaches.

Many tenants who aren’t creditworthy or who have something to hide avoid property management companies and REALTORS®. They prefer to work with private owners and investors who they think will not run background checks.

Beware of the tenants who do not want you to screen them and avoid accepting credit reports provided by prospective tenants and who refuse to pay the application fee. I have seen situations where the prospective tenants cut and paste their information on someone else’s reports. Would you lend your car to someone you knew who was a repeat DUI offender? Hopefully, you answered “no”, which brings me to my point: “Why would you rent your most valuable assets to someone you know nothing about”?

We offer our clients protection by providing the best tenant screening solutions in South Florida.  We treat all tenants equally and fairly by having a preset Tenant Selections Criteria. We avoid Fair Housing and Discrimination complaints and possible litigation and costly legal fees. Please refer to our rental applications “Tenant Selection Criteria” to learn more.
