Landlords have the right to screen potential tenants to ensure they meet the necessary criteria. This may include background checks, credit checks, and rental history verification. All screening processes must comply with anti-discrimination laws.

Rental Agreement

A formal rental agreement must be signed by both the landlord and tenant before occupancy. This agreement should clearly outline the rent amount, payment due dates, security deposit, lease term, and any other pertinent conditions.
