Direct answer

Income 3x rent, 620+ credit, no evictions within 7 yrs, and prior landlord reference call.

Expanded explanation

Most bad tenancies are filtered out by the prior-landlord call. Credit and income screen most legal risk. Use a third-party screening service to stay fair-housing compliant.

Examples

  • Three applications: one fails income, one fails eviction, one passes all.
