As part of the process to create your rental listing with Landlord Studio, you will be asked if you want to set up a prescreening questionnaire. This questionnaire will allow you to gather initial information on tenants to decide if they meet your minimum criteria.

When a tenant hits apply they will then be asked to answer the questions you selected.

Once they submit their answers you will be notified and the tenant will be created in the landlord studio system as an applicant.

Step 1: Log in to the landlord studio desktop portal.

Step 2: Click on the SCREENING tab on the side menu

Step 3: Click on the tenant to open their details. You will be able to see all the tenant’s details on this page including their answers (if any) to the pre-screening questionnaire.

Step 4: If the tenant meets your minimum criteria you can then run a tenant screening report by clicking on “Start Background Check”. Fill out the details and click submit.

Note: Reports cost $45 or $55 each (subject to your subscription plan) and can be paid by the Tenant or the Landlord. In the state of New York, the landlord must pay for the screening application. Screening applications for New York do not include eviction history.

If you pay for the tenant screening report, you will be prompted with a payment gateway. You'll need to complete the purchase to continue.

Step 6: Once you fill out the form this will send an email to the tenant. You will be notified when the tenant screening report is ready by email. It normally takes around 30 minutes after the tenant has completed and submitted their information.

Step 7: You can view this report inside the rental application.

Step 8: You can then offer or decline the tenant’s application by email by clicking "More Actions".

Step 9: Once they’ve accepted and signed the lease you can set up the new lease details in the Landlord Studio system and link the new tenant.

Step 10: Enable “Online Rent Collection” and invite the tenant to start collecting rent through the Landlord Studio system.
