- Tenant screening criteria checklist with 37 items covering income, credit, rental history, documentation, communication quality, and application red flags.
- Lease agreement financial terms template so rent due dates, late fees, deposits, utilities, and renewal timing are clearly defined.
- Security deposit tracking sheet to record collection, deductions, receipts, deadlines, and return status without missing compliance details.
- Move-in and move-out condition documentation form for comparing wear, damage, cleaning, and repair responsibility side by side.
- Rent pricing worksheet that walks through comparable analysis, neighborhood positioning, amenities, vacancy risk, and target cash flow.
- Maintenance request log to document tenant issues, repair vendors, completion dates, costs, and recurring property problems.
- Annual landlord income and expense tracker that keeps rent, repairs, insurance, taxes, and operating costs easy to review at tax time.
- Property management self-assessment guide so you can decide whether to keep self-managing or hand tasks to a manager.
Who It's For
Homeowners converting a previous residence into a rental and needing structure fast.
New investors who want a cleaner process before the first vacancy, repair, or screening decision arrives.
Landlords who are self-managing one or two units and want better documentation without complex software.
Anyone who wants fewer avoidable disputes about deposits, property condition, or lease money terms.
What You'll Achieve
Use more consistent screening standards instead of making case-by-case judgment calls under pressure.
Set clearer financial terms so the lease, deposit handling, and move documentation all point to the same expectations.
Price a unit with better context by using comparable rents instead of only guessing from listing sites.
Keep your records organized enough that maintenance, taxes, and annual reviews feel manageable.
How To Use It
Customize the pricing worksheet, screening standards, and lease term template before applications start arriving so you are not improvising.
Use the condition form, deposit tracker, and maintenance log to create a reliable record from move-in through renewal or turnover.
At year end, use the income and expense tracker plus self-assessment guide to decide what to tighten, delegate, or improve.
“I used the screening checklist and move-in form with my first tenant, and it instantly made me feel more prepared and more professional.”
