Do you have goverment contracts or participate in Section 8?

Did you know if you have a federal contract with the government you are required to use the E-Verify system. The E-Verify system is used to establish work eligibility for your employees. This rule went into effect September 8, 2009. If your not using the system to screen employees contact us and we can add it to your current screening package.

Property owners who participate in the Section 8 program may also be required to participate in the E-Verify program. If you operate a company with employees you should add this additional screening to your current package. Contact us for more details about the E-Verify program.

Renting To Young Adults

I recently read an opinion from a person in the apartment industry that I found to be interesting. He states that he has seen an alarming trend of younger and younger debtors sent to collection by apartment communities. People 18 and 19 years old may legally sign a contract but most won't understand or remember it. If no co-signor or guarantor is on the lease many people of this age are not responsible enough to be given control of an asset valued in the tens of thousands of dollars. I agree on face value. However, if you have strong rental criteria in place the age of the applicant shouldn’t matter. When your tenant screening company conducts the background check they should be verifying income, rental history, credit, evictions and criminal records. Match this information up with your criteria and you increase your odds of getting a good renter regardless of age. Quality tenant screening and criteria decrease the chances of renting to individuals who can’t pay the rent.

The election and you!

Hello Apartment Industry Advocates! With the election a mere five weeks away, it seems appropriate to devote this edition of the Apartment Industry Mobilization Service (AIMS) communication to our role as advocates for the apartment industry in the upcoming election. There is no denying it – this year’s election has the capacity to impact every level of government. Not only will control of the White House and House and Senate be decided on Election Day, but 11 governors and numerous state legislatures, city councils and mayors’ races, 166 statewide initiatives in 35 states and a staggering number of local community questions will also be determined. Although media attention may be focused on the presidential election, virtually everything federal, state and local policymakers do, or don’t do, impacts your business and your bottom line. So, no matter which side of the political aisle you’re on, your participation and vote on all these ballot items are vita

Rental Services, Inc. September 2019 Newsletter!

In this month’s newsletter, I thought we would discuss password security. About 93% of all Rental Services, Inc. clients access the RSI website. Every person who uses the RSI website is issued a unique username and password to login to the website. Some use the site to order reports and others simply use it to review completed reports. During a recent RSI team meeting it was brought up that we continue to receive phone calls from clients about login issues. As we explain the steps to recover or reset the password using the built-in tools from the website, we often find the client is sharing login information with someone else in their office. The person sharing the password doesn’t know the answers to the security questions and they can’t reset the password. This causes problems for everyone involved. No one using the RSI website should share their login information with others. It is a direct violation of the RSI Services Agreement and the credit bureaus require us to su
