Our proven screening system for single-family rentals in Oakville, Burlington & the GTA
As of 2025, The Fisher Group has already completed 99 lease deals year-to-date — and over the years, we’ve successfully placed hundreds of tenants for landlords throughout Oakville, Burlington, Mississauga, and the GTA.
Across all these transactions, one priority has remained unchanged:
helping landlords secure responsible, stable tenants who will take care of the home.
The rental market continues to shift, and placing the right tenant matters more than ever. That’s why our screening system is built around clarity, consistency, and long-term reliability.
✅ Our 2025 Tenant Selection Criteria (Single-Family Homes)
1. Strong Credit Score: 700+
We prioritize applicants with a credit score of 700 or higher and a consistent history of responsible repayment. This ensures strong financial discipline and reduces risk of missed payments.
2. Household Income of at Least 3× the Annual Rent
We verify that the applicants’ combined household income is at least three times the yearly rent.
This affordability standard has proven to be one of the most reliable indicators of long-term payment stability.
3. A Stable, Consistent Family Profile
We prefer renters who are likely to stay stable and long term — ideally young couples or parents with children. We also make sure the living arrangement is clear and less likely to change, reducing disruptions such as:
-
A tenant needing to move out due to marriage
-
Someone suddenly adding a boyfriend or girlfriend to the home
-
Major household changes that can affect stability
This protects your property from unexpected turnover, extra wear and tear, or situations that complicate lease management.
Additional Measures We Use for Extra Protection
Beyond the three core criteria, we also conduct employment verification and rental history checks, including reviewing pay stubs, employment letters, tax documents for self-employed renters, previous landlord references, and any history of disputes or evictions.
While these factors aren’t always deal-breakers on their own, they provide valuable context and help us safeguard your property from unnecessary risks.
Why Our Process Works
With 99 leases already completed this year and hundreds placed over previous years, our approach consistently helps landlords:
-
