Tenant selection criteria
LCL Realty/Property Management tenant selection criteria outline lists our criteria used in viewing prospective tenants’ applications. The criteria listed below is subject to change under state and local laws. LCL Realty/Property Mgmt reserves the right to change, include additional qualifying criteria and are not limited to the guidelines set forth.
All application fees paid to Manager are non-refundable.
Photo I.D.: All applicants must verify identity to complete this application. Manager reserves the right to automatically decline all incomplete submissions or the inability to verify an applicant’s identity.
Applicant must physically reside in the Rental for which they are applying. Applicant must live in the Rental and disclose all persons that will be occupying the Rental. All persons residing in the Rental are subject to background checks prior to occupancy. All persons 18 years of age or older must submit ID and pay for credit/background check.
If a prospect is declined based on Manager’s Tenant Selection Criteria, Manager reserves the right to take adverse action. This may include denial of the application, the requirement to pay a higher security deposit, or the requirement to obtain a qualified lease guarantor.
Occupancy limits have been established by the size of the unit. California has adopted the section 503(b) Code criteria for determining the minimum size of a swelling. California’s Department of Fair Employment andHousing (DFEH) uses a formula-based occupancy restriction, known as the “two plus one” formula, which permits two people to occupy each bedroom, with one additional.
Other Qualifying Factors: Manager will take into consideration the lease term length (minimum one year), the amount of expenses needed to make the Rental acceptable to you (not including any Fair Housing related accommodation requests) and the amount of time the Rental will remain vacant until you occupy.

Applicant must submit an earnest money hold equal to 30% of the months’ rent within 24 hours of acceptance of application – failure to do so may in the Manager’s sole discretion result in cancellation and revocation of the lease offer.
Lease Guarantor: Guarantors will be considered for applicants who are solely denied based on income or lack of established credit history. Guarantors are not considered for applicants that fail to meet rental history, credit, or criminal background qualifications. Only one Guarantor per house is permissible. Guarantors may be relatives or an employer; friends may not serve as a Guarantor. The Guarantor must submit an application, pay the application fee and provide all necessary supporting documents. Guarantors must have a net monthly income of 3.0 times the monthly market rent, minimum Resident Score (FICO) must be 650 + and meet all of Manager’s other Tenant Screening Criteria.

Self managment risks
Top Risks of Self-Managing Rental Properties
Typically, investors think this is the formula for evaluating a rental property investment: Rental Income – (Mortgage Payment + Expenses) = Profit. Well…that’s part of the formula, not all of it. Before you commit to that strategy, you need to be aware of the risks and costs of self-managing properties. Those considering going down this route first want to check out property management company like LCL Realty/Property Management give them a call to see they could help you to protect your investments and maximize income. You may find that their services are worthwhile after all.
Operational Innocence
You should be able to deal with all kinds of tenants, whether you like them or not. Can you be compassionate and understanding of their issues but also be firm and professional in enforcing rules? If you’re someone who dislikes confrontation or loses your temper quickly, then self-managing your rental property could lose you money or be a source of trouble.
Question to Consider: while you may save approximately $120 a month, is it worth your time and energy (emotion) to manage your property?
Compliance Ignorance
Is your property in a rent control area? That fact brings in a whole set of rules that you must follow. What happens if your tenant is either late with the rent or decides not to pay at all? How much can you charge for a late fee? What processes must you go through to evict them? If you misinterpret codes and laws, you run the risk of fines or worse. As you may have often heard, ignorance of the law is not an excuse!
Question to Consider: Are you prepared to stay up to date on vital tenant and landlord compliance laws? These topics can not only have an impact on your revenue, but also may carry legal implications.
Inadequate Insurance
Questions to Consider: Do you know what types of insurance are available and how to pick the right ones without over-insuring? Can you choose a broker that specializes in property management rather than standard homeowners’ insurance? Being inadequately insured may force you to take your rental off the market when something unexpected happens. It could be beneficial to investigate an insurance company that specializes in helping ensure landlords with various policies that are necessary for your properties.
Wrong Team Choices
Question to Consider: How will you find qualified vendors if you have no experience with such workers?
