- 3. Screening Potential Tenants to Find the Best Match
- Rent Match LLC wants to make the best possible match between landlords and tenants. As such, we make every effort to screen a prospective tenant’s history as thoroughly as possible in order to achieve this goal. Once our screening is complete, we present you, the landlord, with a summary report that includes but is not limited to the following information:
- previous landlord references
- personal references
- employment verification
- credit check
- If you have any questions about the tenant’s history after reviewing our reports, we would be happy to discuss them with you.
- 4. Preparing and Finalizing Leases
- New Lease
- After you approve the tenant you want in your property, Rent Match LLC will prepare, collect and execute all documents required to finalize the lease. We have a standard, generic lease that is valid within the State of Maine, and we can customize the lease to include any additional language that you desire to protect your property’s best interest.
- Renewal Leases
- If you wish, we can monitor the terms of the new leases that we sign for your property, and we can send reminders to your tenants’ that their leases are due for renewal. If they wish to renew, and if you wish us to perform this service, we can draw up a valid renewal lease for their continued occupancy in your unit. There is a minimal $25 administrative fee for our renewal lease service.

- The fee for our successful placement of a tenant in your property is equivalent to one full
month’s rent for each unit leased, and includes all marketing, showing, screening and leasing
