Tenant Screening
HELM has partnered with an industry-leading platform to help property owners identify red flags and avoid problematic tenants. RentPrep was born from the realization that smaller landlords do not have the same access to quality tenant screening that the big companies do. Just as HELM was born from the realization that smaller landlords don't have the property management tools that big companies do.

"Tenant screening made easy."
Tenant screening is a repeatable process for finding the best renter for your rental. It starts with generating your screening criteria and then generating interest in your rental. Then, you can begin systematically weeding out unqualified renters until you find the very best fit for your property. Not everyone has a tenant screening process in place.
If we could sum up tenant screening with one quote, it would be this… “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Tenant screening is not about immediate gratification, and that’s why some landlords have a tough time mastering it. Think of tenant screening as maintaining a vehicle.
