Quick checklist (copy/paste)
-Prep the unit: clean thoroughly • fix anything broken • fresh paint/updated hardware • stage for photos

-Marketplace, Rentals.ca, social) • include a floor plan (ask a Realtor for past
-MLS floor plans)
-Pre-screen questions: monthly income • occupants • employer/role • pets • why moving • commute checked? • smoking/drinking • criminal record
-At the showing: punctuality • communication • respect for property • general cleanliness • their vehicle condition • trust your gut
-Screening items: full application • credit check (Equifax/TransUnion) • employment verification (pay stubs/job letter) • previous-previous landlord reference (not just the most recent) • government ID
-Red flags: missing docs • pressure to skip steps • “need to move in today” • big cash up-front offers • refuses credit check • inconsistent story • trashes prior landlord
-Set expectations: rent due date & late policy • maintenance reporting • visitor/pet rules • property care • move-out process • give a welcome letter/binder
