Our Screening Process

Protecting your property starts with placing the right residents.
At STG Rental Management, we take a proactive and thorough approach to resident screening. Our goal is to match your property with reliable, respectful tenants—so you can enjoy peace of mind and steady returns.

Step 1: Application Review
All applicants must be 18 or older and complete a detailed application. We collect:

• Government-issued ID
• Proof of income (must be at least 3x the monthly rent)
• Employment or verification documents

Step 2: Background & Credit Checks
We run full background screenings that include:

• Employment verification
• Credit history
• Criminal background
• Rental history and behavior

This helps us ensure applicants are reliable, responsible, and a good fit for your property.

Step 3: Reference Checks
We contact previous landlords to get insights into the applicant’s rental habits—like timeliness of payments, care for the home, and communication.

Step 4: Fair & Legal Screening

Our process follows all Federal Fair Housing laws. We focus only on legal, relevant criteria like financial history, creditworthiness, and rental track records.

Step 5: Ongoing Inspections

After placement, our job isn’t done. We perform regular property inspections to ensure your property stays in great condition throughout the lease term

Screening Fee

To cover the cost of our detailed screening process, we charge a $45 non-refundable fee per adult applicant.

Why It Matters

Whether we’re managing one property or many for you, our goal is always the same: to protect your investment and provide a smooth, respectful experience for everyone involved.
