“Can I pick my tenant if I use a property management company?” Is a question I answer often for homeowners interested in Utopia’s property management services. It can be a challenge handing off the responsibility you may have taken care of in the past or for the first time as a landlord. Prospective tenants you meet at showings might seem like the right fit but often fall short when it comes to the qualifications and tenant screening. Having the ability to separate personal feelings when placing the tenant is encouraged. The most important aspect of your San Diego rental property is the tenant you place. Ensuring the tenant has stability in previous rental properties, good to excellent credit and the proper income will lead to less problems down the road. Utopia’s high standard of tenant placement lessens the chance of a problematic tenant being placed. Having a property manager handle this portion will also ensure the correct due diligence was done when selecting the tenant based strictly off of their qualifications and nothing else. With strict Fair Housing Laws in place we document and record why the prospective tenant was placed should an issue arise when denying an unqualified tenant. Taking the time and stress out of placing a tenant is just one of the many reasons to contact Utopia Management for property management services.
