What's included
What tenant screening looks like in Hamilton: a dedicated advisor works your file with TransUnion or Equifax pulls, court record lookups, ID verification, employment verification, and reference checks. We pull credit, run eviction history, verify identity, verify employment, and document the screening file. The pitfalls we head off include incomplete credit reports, missing eviction history, identity gaps, and verbal-only employer references. Stoney Creek and Waterdown hold pre-war low-rise rental that leases at a steady pace; Hamilton Mountain skews to post-war suburban. Every engagement ends with a clear summary delivered to the owner before the end of the business day. Hamilton tenant screening work in our pipeline trends toward full applicant screening package in peak leasing season and and re-screening on lease renewal through the slower months.
