Income verification is a critical component of tenant screening. A tenant's ability to pay rent consistently and on time is essential for a landlord's peace of mind. The general rule of thumb is that a tenant's gross monthly income should be at least three times the monthly rent. This ratio ensures that tenants can comfortably afford the rental payment without stretching their finances too thin. Landlords can request pay stubs, tax returns, or employment verification letters to confirm income.
