For the past five years I have met with more than a thousand real estate agents and landlords regarding residential rentals and tenant screening.

I have heard many horror stories and really good tips on keeping bad tenants out before the lease is signed while staying compliant with Fair Housing and Fair Credit regulations.

Someone a lot smarter I am once told me that it is good to learn from your mistakes but a hell of a lot better to learn from someone else’s mistakes.

The purpose of this blog is to provide a resource to landlords and real estate agents to learn from others about applicant and tenant management best practices.

Please feel free to contact me at japple@tenantmagic.net with any of your stories or ideas for topics.
