Puyallup Tenant Screening
Our Proven Process for Finding Great Tenants
At SJC Management Group, we know your Puyallup rental property is more than just a building—it’s a long-term investment that deserves expert care. That’s why our Puyallup tenant screening process is designed to place only the most qualified tenants, helping you avoid unnecessary risks and keep your rental running smoothly.
Our approach goes well beyond basic background checks. With over 30 years of experience providing trusted property management services in Puyallup, we’ve fine-tuned a comprehensive screening system that blends data, local insight, and personal diligence.
Here’s what we check before approving any tenant:
- Credit history and financial standing
- Nationwide criminal background check
- Prior eviction history
- Income and employment verification
- Rental history and landlord references
- Verification of identity
- Pet screening (if applicable)
- Compliance with fair housing and legal guidelines
As the video above highlights, we’re committed to protecting your investment with real-world expertise and a personal touch. Our eviction rate of less than 1% is a testament to how well this process works—and why so many local owners trust us.

Pet Screening
I'm often asked about pets. Is it a good idea to have pets in my rental? Is it a bad idea to have pets in my rental? If you're renting out a house in this area and you say no pets, you're actually cutting off about 80 percent of your available market of potential tenants. So having a pet policy that's right for your property and fits your property's needs, and you as an owner, it is critical to be able to get your property rented quickly. In order to make sure that your property doesn't get damaged from pets, we have a very comprehensive pet screening policy.
So what is Pet Screening?
Through petscreening.com we actually screen all applicants' pets. We have the applicant upload photos and descriptions of the pets along with veterinarian information which is verified by petscreening.com. If an applicant has a service animal, petscreening.com does not charge for the screening, but does verify that this is a service animal meeting ADA requirements. I'd love to show you more about this great tool that we use to help property owners.
