Comprehensive Tenant Screening in San Mateo

Effectively screening tenants for your San Mateo rental property is more difficult than ever, thanks to strict laws and complex tenant protections. Sharevest Property Management offers objective, consistent, and rigorous systems to find you the most qualified tenant while complying with all state and local laws.

Take a Look at How We Define a Well-Qualified San Mateo Tenant

Tenants Who Can Pay Rent

Most important is a tenant’s ability to pay rent on time every month. We take a close look at income, ensuring that the amount an applicant earns is at least three times the amount of rent we’re charging. This is a best practice industry-wide, and it’s also a good way to establish lawful income standards that we use for every applicant.

Positive Credit History

Perfect credit is hard to find, but our screening process does require an indication that tenants are responsible with debt, bill payments, and household finances. We want to see a tenant with a credit report that reflects a commitment to paying rent and utilities on time. Our process looks beyond the credit score and takes the entire profile into account.

Residents with Good Rental References

At Sharevest Property Management, we always ask for rental references because we know that former landlords and property managers can tell us what it’s like to rent to the tenant who has applied for your property. We want a record of on-time rent payments, timely maintenance requests, and respect for the lease agreement.

Stable Employment

Employment leads to income, and we do not have opinions on how a tenant’s money is earned, we simply need to know that it’s consistent and verifiable.

Good Neighbors

Blanket criminal bans are prohibited, but once we’ve approved a San Mateo tenant, we will run the necessary background checks to ensure they were not convicted of any dangerous felonies. Keeping our communities safe is part of our screening process.

U

Transparent Tenants

We look for tenants we can trust. That means transparency and honesty during the screening process. We only screen complete applications that come with supporting documentation and the lawful application fee.

Let me 1st start off by saying, the Office Manager, KATHY GUIBARA, is EXTREMELY RUDE & UNPROFESSIONAL! She seriously needs to learn how to speak respectfully to PAID TENANTS. There’s NO REASON for this lady to be so dang rude. I called regarding the assistance of disposing a deep freezer as an apartment tenant since Recology specifically informed me that I had to go through the Property Management to get this disposed of & pay via them. I originally sent an email 5 days ago with no response, so I called today and WOW, once again, KATHY IS SO RUDE & UNPROFESSIONAL! She’s VERY ENTITLED & needs to learn that she is servicing paid tenants. Furthermore, they HARDLY EVER communicate effectively when work orders are requested. They select complete on the work order, when it’s not actually completed.

I am so glad we found each other you treat people as you would like to be treated and your integrity is priceless. You are the reason that I sleep peacefully each and every night. In San Francisco the Landlord tenant laws change. Your lease agreements are written to protect the tenant as well as the property owner and the laws change over time. Without a partnership like ours it would require hiring a Lawyer or at some point ending up with a problem tenant. I look forward to many years of working together to provide our community with much needed shelter. Kind Regards, Dan Pearce

Lack of follow up and communication. Not one issue has been resolved that has been raised and there is no way to contact anyone for an update.
There are several issues with the home including failing appliances and while the initial response was very prompt there has been absolutely no follow up. When we had an urgent issue with the home and called someone they were rude and not helpful.
There is no means of contacting anyone via phone that is provided on the app.
