Oklahoma rental/lease applications are typically used by real estate agents and landlords to assess the viability of a prospective tenant. Landlords typically conduct tenant screening before a 12-month lease is signed because of the high cost of an eviction. The landlord may charge a fee and it could take up to three (3) days to check the tenant's credit, rental history, and background. A lease agreement that is ready for signing will be sent to the tenant if the application is approved.
Application fee: The amount a landlord may charge for an application fee is uncapped, and there is no legal requirement that it be refundable.
Security deposit: The maximum amount a property manager may demand as a security deposit is uncapped (there is no law on this).
Your tenant screening process may include a variety of checks and essential pieces of data. During an Oklahoma lease applicant screening process, the following details must be provided:
Applicant’s Full name
Applicant’s Email address
Applicant's Date of birth
Social Security number
Previous address
Bank account number (optional)
Bank routing number (optional)
Criminal Records
Note
All criminal histories are listed with the offender's name and birthdate. The minimum amount of information required to conduct an effective check is thus this. However, relying solely on these guidelines may result in confusing errors. The more unique identifiers you use, the more accurate the data you're checking out for the perfect result.
Background Check
As a landlord, you are essentially lending one of your most valuable possessions, a house, to a stranger. And despite your best efforts, there is no way to guarantee that all potential tenants will be honorable individuals who won't endanger your property or your trust. Learning a little bit more about your potential tenants can go a long way toward assisting you in finding the ideal tenants. Bad behavior in the past frequently predicts bad behavior in the future. Background checks are thus one of the best preventative measures to ensure that your tenancy goes smoothly.
Employment History
It contains information about the applicant's previous employers and firms, as well as job titles and positions held, salary, dates of employment, and duties performed.
References
Make an effort to contact their current or previous landlord to ask about their rental history. As a result, you'll be able to judge how they'll behave as tenants. On the other hand, it raises suspicion if their references are unimportant or unfavorable.
