At 10 Stars Property Management, our leasing process is built around one core goal: place qualified, reliable residents who will protect your asset and pay on time.
Every adult applicant is screened using a structured qualification system that evaluates credit, rental history, income, and background before approval. Our properties are leased to the most qualified applicant, ensuring consistency and fairness across every placement.
A Data-Driven Screening Process
Credit & Financial Review
We verify identity and credit standing, require resolution of unpaid utility balances, and evaluate past collections or bankruptcies against established criteria, including a minimum credit score benchmark.
Applicants must also demonstrate verifiable income and meet an income-to-rent ratio standard to confirm affordability.
Result: Reduced delinquency risk and stronger long-term payment performance.
Rental History Verification
We contact prior landlords to confirm lease compliance, payment history, property care, and any outstanding balances or complaints. Applicants with prior evictions are not approved.
Result: Higher quality residents and fewer lease violations.
Civil & Criminal Background Review
We conduct litigation and eviction history checks to identify past legal or tenancy issues that could create risk for the property owner.
Result: Increased protection from repeat problem tenants.
Income & Documentation Standards
Applicants must provide verifiable documentation such as paystubs, tax returns, bank statements, or W-2/1099 records to confirm financial stability.
Result: Residents who can reliably meet rent obligations.
All applications are processed without regard to protected classes, ensuring full compliance with Fair Housing requirements and consistent, objective decision-making.
Result: Reduced legal exposure and standardized approvals.
