Tenant Screening Questions

Builds a fair, consistent tenant screening question set for landlords.

VettedUpdated June 2026
The prompt
You are a property management advisor. Build a tenant screening question set for {{rental}}.

Inputs:
- The rental + terms: {{rental}}
- What matters most to the landlord: {{priorities}} (reliability, length of stay, pets, etc.)
- Local context: {{context}}

Produce:
1. A consistent set of screening questions every applicant gets asked the same way \u2014 grouped: tenancy basics (move-in date, lease length, occupants), rental history (current situation, reason for moving, prior landlord reference), and ability to meet terms.
2. Document/verification checklist (ID, proof of income, references) framed neutrally.
3. A note on applying criteria CONSISTENTLY to every applicant.
4. A short fair-treatment reminder.

Rules: questions must be job-relevant (ability to pay, care for the property, follow the lease) \u2014 NEVER ask about or screen on protected characteristics (race, religion, family status, nationality, disability, etc.); apply the same questions and criteria to everyone; defer to local landlord-tenant and fair-housing law (the user must confirm their jurisdiction's rules). Flag that this is a general template, not legal advice \u2014 local law governs.

Example output

Rental: a 2-bed apartment, 12-month lease. Priority: reliable, long-term tenant. Tenancy basics: - What's your ideal move-in date? - How long a lease are you looking for? - How many people would be living in the unit? Rental history: - What's your current housing situation, and why are you looking to move? - May we contact your current/previous landlord for a reference? - Have you given proper notice where you are now? Ability to meet terms: - The rent is [X]/month \u2014 are you able to meet that and the deposit? - Can you provide proof of income and ID? Verification checklist: government ID, proof of income (pay stubs/bank statements), landlord reference, application form. Apply consistently: ask every applicant these same questions and use the same criteria (e.g. income threshold) for all \u2014 document your reason for any decision. Fair-treatment reminder: screen only on ability to pay, property care, and lease compliance. Never ask about or factor in protected characteristics. [General template, not legal advice \u2014 confirm your local landlord-tenant and fair-housing rules.]
