Every landlord knows the feeling. You spend time, money, and energy carefully vetting your tenants. They pay on time, respect the property, and get along well with the neighbors.

But then, the apartment complex around the corner cycles through another nightmare tenant. You know what’s coming: noise, property neglect, late-night police visits – and the cycle of poorly-chosen tenants is driving down the vibe (and value) of the entire neighborhood.

As a property manager or landlord, you can’t control who your competitors rent to. Or can you?

The Ripple Effect of Bad Screening

When a nearby landlord uses weak, outdated, or nonexistent background checks, it creates a magnet for high-risk tenants. Ultimately, those tenants impact your community and your renters. And, ultimately, your bottom line.

If you want to protect your investment, it’s time to look beyond your property lines. It’s time to introduce your neighboring landlords to Landlord Tenant Services (LTS).

Why Refer Your Neighboring Competitors to LTS?

It might sound counterintuitive to give your competition a helping hand, but when it comes to tenant screening, a rising tide lifts all boats. Here is why sending a friendly referral to the landlord down the street is a win-win-win:

  • It’s 100% Free for the Landlord: The biggest hurdle for most landlords is cost. With LTS, the applicant pays for the background check, meaning your competitor gets enterprise-level screening tools for $0 out of pocket. Learn more about receiving free background screenings.

  • We Dig Deeper: LTS provides top-notch, thorough background checks—including credit, eviction, and criminal history—ensuring only responsible, qualified tenants get approved.

  • Protect Neighborhood Property Values: Better tenants next door mean safer streets, quieter nights, and higher retention rates for your current renters.
