Screening in Sedona

Published, and Applied Evenly.

Sedona draws a wide mix of applicants, including many from out of area who will lease sight unseen. Verification matters more when the applicant is not standing in front of you.

The same criteria apply to every applicant on every property, consistent with fair housing law and the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act.

The Three-Part File

What We Actually Pull.

Credit File

The full report, not just a number. We look at the pattern — how debt is carried, whether housing payments were prioritised, and what changed and when.

Background & Eviction

Nationwide criminal search, eviction filings, and civil judgments. Criminal history assessed individually rather than treated as an automatic bar.

Income & References

Documented income verified at three times the rent or better, employment or business confirmed, and prior landlords contacted directly.

Technology flags. A person decides. AI catches what a manual read misses. It never approves or declines anyone — the broker reviews every application and you approve the tenant.

Questions

Screening, Answered.

What is the standard?
A+ credit and verified household income of at least three times the monthly rent, plus a clean rental payment history, verified landlord references, and a background check. The same standard applies to every applicant on every property.
How is income verified?
Documented and verified directly rather than taken from the application. For self-employed applicants and entity tenancies we verify funds and source properly.
What does the background check cover?
A nationwide criminal search, eviction filings, and judgments. Criminal history is assessed individually rather than as an automatic bar, consistent with fair housing guidance.
Where does AI come in?
Applications are analyzed for inconsistencies and document fraud — altered pay stubs, mismatched employment records, patterns a manual read would miss. It flags; it does not decide.
Who approves the tenant?
The broker reviews every application and recommends with reasoning. You approve. No applicant is approved or declined by an automated system.
