What matters for this service
Written screening criteriaA documented, consistently applied standard creates a clearer applicant experience and a more defensible decision process than one-off judgment calls.
Application review + verificationScreening can include identity, income, rental history, credit, background, and other permitted criteria based on the property and current policy.
Decision + leasing handoffOnce an applicant is approved, the screening record should flow directly into lease preparation, deposit handling, move-in steps, and resident onboarding.

Owner questions
Useful answers before you make a call.
Specific pricing, guarantees, legal interpretations, and property fit should be confirmed in Dwelo’s current written agreement.
Depending on the approved process, screening can include identity, income, credit, rental history, background, and other permitted criteria. Exact checks and decision standards should be documented and applied consistently.
Housing decisions are subject to fair housing and other laws. Owners should use consistent, lawful criteria rather than subjective or discriminatory selection.
No single data point tells the whole story. Screening is stronger when the permitted criteria are considered together and applied consistently.
Timing depends on the completeness of the application and availability of verification data. A clean workflow helps prevent avoidable delays.
The next step is normally lease preparation, required funds, signatures, and move-in coordination.
