Income that doesn't support the rent
The first check is whether verified income covers rent with margin. Direct verification beats a self-reported figure every time.
Gaps and evictions
Look for eviction filings and unexplained address gaps. A prior-landlord reference often tells you more than a credit score alone.
Apply rules evenly
Whatever your criteria, apply them to every applicant and document the decision. That consistency is both better screening and your Fair Housing defense.
