How do you screen tenants in Las Vegas?

The Rental Lister runs a comprehensive screening on every applicant — credit history, income and employment verification, rental history, and background and eviction checks — to place reliable, qualified residents.

What do I need to qualify to rent?

Requirements vary by property, but applicants generally need a satisfactory credit history, verifiable income (commonly around three times the monthly rent), and a clean rental and eviction record.

How long does tenant screening take?

Most applications are reviewed within one to three business days once every applicant submits a complete application and supporting documents.

Do you follow Fair Housing laws?

Yes. The Rental Lister applies consistent, objective criteria to every applicant in full compliance with federal and Nevada Fair Housing laws.

Tenant Screening

We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment

We strive to get your investment rented quickly, but feel it is important to get the RIGHT tenant versus the FAST tenant! Spending time up front and finding the BEST tenant for your rental creates a good experience all around, versus one that is stressful and frustrating.

Oftentimes people think they just need to do a quick credit check and verify employment but there’s more to it than that. Our high quality tenant screening process digs deeper. We gather extensive information on the following...

Credit Check
Debt to income ratios
Criminal history check
Employment verification
Eviction history check
Previous landlord calls

Our screening process is not just based on a credit score only - we take a comprehensive look at the overall applicant. This process has proven to be extremely successful.

Application fraud is on the rise, and many property managers simply don’t go far enough. Our proven screening process is designed to identify red flags such as false identification, inaccurate income information, fake employment, and fraudulent rental references—helping protect your investment before issues arise. This level of diligence leads to higher-quality residents, fewer problems, and better long-term results for owners.

Our Client Reviews Speak For Themselves

"I work with a lot of property managers as a top showing agent. These guys are amazing - they care, they call you back, and they are fantastic at follow up."

"I had a GREAT experience with The Rental Lister. My family had an emergency move and no one wanted to help us - then I came across Mark and in no time they had us in our new rental home. Definitely recommend The Rental Lister!"

Patrick Scott

On the legal side, tenant screening criteria in Nevada covers what you may and may not screen on, the assistance-animal distinction, and the adverse action notice required when you decline an applicant.

Once a tenant is placed, move-in and move-out inspections are what protect the deposit at the other end of the tenancy.
