Employment Verification - App. Question

Hey,

Great forum. Rookie property manager here with a basic "What do you do?"question.

When evaluating a rental application, I check credit, criminal convictions and evictions for the state of application, verbal verify of current employement and verbal verify of past rental history.

How detailed can I get with asking employment verify? Is it wrong to request a W-2 and ask the employment manager what the prospect for future emplyment is?

    thanks for the reply, finniganps, so you do ask the employer for the amount of pay? Do they always give you the info?

    Slum lord. Yes, I admit it, when I set out I said that was my goal. A slum lord is still a lord.

    Great story ryandick!

    You should post it as an article on this site. I think a lot of people would benefit from reading it.

    Thanks for sharing.
