How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment

At Summit Point Property Management, we understand the urgency of filling a vacancy—but we also know that placing the right tenant is far more important than placing the fastest one. Taking the time to find a qualified, reliable renter leads to fewer issues, longer tenancies, and a better experience for everyone involved.

Many assume that a quick credit check and job verification are enough—but our comprehensive screening process goes far beyond the basics. We take a detailed, informed approach to every applicant by reviewing:

Full credit history
Verified employment and income
Debt-to-income ratio
Eviction records
Criminal background
References from previous landlords

We don’t rely on credit scores alone. Instead, we evaluate the whole picture to ensure each tenant meets our high standards. This careful process consistently delivers better tenant outcomes—and protects your investment for the long term.

Maintenance

We conduct inspections upon move-in and move-out that include documentation of the property condition and have processes in place to handle tenant maintenance issues effectively and efficiently.

Financials

We have an in house bookkeeper on staff for your detailed reporting tools and statements to stay in tune with how your investment is performing

Eviction Protection

In the unfortunate event that a tenant needs to be evicted from your rental, we will cover the cost of a simple uncontested eviction (some restrictions apply) and ensure your investment is protected.
