- 04Net screening cost: $275 - $250 = $25
常见问题
Can I charge more than the screening costs?
Laws vary. Some states like California limit application fees to actual screening costs. Others have no specific cap. Check your local laws and always disclose what the fee covers.
What should I look for in screening results?
Check credit score (typically 620+ minimum), criminal history, prior evictions, income (ideally 3x rent), employment stability, and references from previous landlords.
Is tenant screening worth the cost?
Absolutely. The cost of screening ($50-75 per applicant) is tiny compared to the cost of a bad tenant (thousands in damages, lost rent, and eviction costs). Thorough screening is your best investment.
