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

We’ve been renting through Trend Properties for years! They are fast in getting contractors out if we have any issues (AC/Water Heater, etc.) Michele just came by and did our inspection and was so kind! She’s very easy to get ahold of and David gets “our” handyman Scott dispatched to our house quickly. I appreciate Trend Properties!

This is our 2nd time staying with this owner, it is the 2nd home we've stayed at with them! And both times have been perfect. The home was beautiful and the perfect amount of space while I healed post surgery (before returning home). They had everything you needs from towels, bedding, and kitchen utensils. They actually let us move our check in date up a day earlier! When we arrived we notice the water heater wasn't working well... again this is our 2nd time staying with the hostess so we knew after our previous stay (in another home)...they had no idea! I sent them a quick message and they had the water heater replaced that day! We hope we don't have to come back... as I was a hospital patient... but if we do, they will be the first I search for! Thanks again!

We have had such an amazing experience with Trend Property Management. We moved into one of their rental homes January 1st of this year and it’s been great so far. Ms/Mrs Michele Stokan was professional from the very beginning when we first showed interest on the house. She made everything so easy from showing us the house to answering all our questions to signing our lease. Setting up the portal was also very easy. Trend Property & Management is one of the best around and would encourage everyone to use their services for an awesome experience.

I love this rental management company! I worked with Michelle on leasing my home and she is amazing. Such a wonderful experience! Update: I still currently rent with Trend and just wanted to come here and say I love them so much! They are quick with response times to service tickets and are very professional and nice. I will continue renting with them for a long time!
