Tenant Background Check & Screening

The Boston rental market is fortunate to be home to some of the brightest, most talented, hard-working people in the United States. Along with that comes great tenants who have solid credit histories and references. Even in this great market, it’s wise to do your due diligence and have a thorough tenant screening process. And if this sounds like a daunting task, that’s why we created this specialized service for Boston property owners - we’ll take care of your tenant background checks for you!

Tenant Background Check - Get Quality Tenants Every Time

At CL Boston Property Management we’re experts at finding the best-matched tenants for your rental properties and apartments. You can feel confident that your next tenant will be quiet, respectful of your property and great at paying on time. 

With over two decades of tenant screening experience in the Boston metropolitan area, CL Boston Property Management know the ins and outs of finding perfect tenants.

Credit, Income & Employment Checks

We perform credit checks of all prospective renters during our tenant screening process. Credit-worthiness is a good indicator of income stability and payment promptness. However, it’s not the end-all be-all metric for finding a great tenant. Sometimes, people’s credit can be affected by recent credit checks, school loans and other factors - which doesn’t necessarily mean the person will be a bad tenant. We take a close look at the complete tenant profile when making screening considerations.

We Check References Too!

We thoroughly follow up on the references provided. Every reference is called and their feedback is used in our tenant screening evaluation. Additionally, we do criminal background checks and verify employment to ensure all applications have been fully vetted.

How It Works

We will send your prospective tenant to an online application where they will enter their information. Our team will review the submitted information and determine whether or not they will be a good fit for your property. All information that is collected is done securely and compliant with Massachusetts and Federal laws.

If your prospective tenants have an agent representing them, we will accept and review any prepared screening documentation as well. We will work with their agent to get any information or references to complete a thorough application screening.
