Tenant Screening
Reviewing applicants before approval.
Definition
Tenant Screening is Reviewing applicants before approval. Teams usually run into it when an application is being approved, held, or declined and the team has to explain why.
What makes it useful is that consistent decision rules reduce fair-housing risk and keep bad approvals from slipping through. The term usually sits next to documentation, score thresholds, and final reviewer notes.
Use cases
Use Tenant Screening to show why an application was approved, held, or declined.
Review Tenant Screening when the team needs to defend the decision against the published screening standard.
Track Tenant Screening so operations can keep reviewer notes, evidence, and outcomes tied together.
