Screening Fort Worth Tenants in Compliance with Fair Housing Laws

Identifying, attracting, and placing the right tenant for your Fort Worth rental property is the only way to ensure you’ll have a peaceful and profitable rental experience. As property managers, we dig into a tenant’s rental history, credit history, and income. We look for criminal convictions and evictions.

The tenant placement process is more than just screening diligently. It’s following fair housing laws, too. At Trend Property & Management, we have a process in place to ensure we remain in compliance with all fair housing laws. Discrimination serves no one, and we’re proud to embrace fair, objective, and consistent screening practices.

Protecting You and Your Property with Documented Rental Criteria

We provide all prospective tenants with a list of our standard rental criteria. This outlines what we’re always going to consider when we’re screening applicants. It covers our minimum standards for:

Legal Compliance Best Practices

As Fort Worth property management experts, we’re investing in technology that supports our objectives. When it comes to complying with fair housing laws and best practices, our screening system makes it easy.

Following Fair Housing Updates

The laws are always changing, aren’t they? This is just one of the challenges to being a rental property owner in Fort Worth.

When you partner with Trend Property & Management, there’s no need to keep up. We’re doing that for you, making sure we understand every nuance of The Texas Property Code, the Fair Housing Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, and all the laws that demand our attention when we’re renting out homes.

Whether we’re talking about marketing, tenant screening, or allowing service animals and support animals, you don’t have to worry about costly fines and legal pitfalls.

Trend manages my three rentals in Saginaw. They helped me out of a difficult situation with one of my homeowner associations. They really went to bat for me and the end result was positive.

Additionally, I never have to worry about when I will receive my rental proceeds as they arrive on the same day each month

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a great experience working with this property management company while finding a rent home for myself and my two boys. Michele was wonderful to work with—super nice, never pushy, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. The online tenant portal is very user-friendly and made it easy to pay my deposit and even set up rental insurance, which made the whole process fast and stress-free. The home itself is in amazing shape and has clearly been very well taken care of. Overall, I’ve been really impressed and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a new rental home!
