In this video, I break down the exact questions I’ve used to screen thousands of tenants across Ontario. These questions work — they protect your property, prevent evictions, and help you choose great tenants who communicate well and pay rent on time. Screening starts the moment a tenant reaches out. I walk you through: ✔ What to ask before scheduling a showing ✔ How to interview tenants naturally without intimidating them ✔ What red flags to watch for ✔ Questions that reveal honesty, financial stability & rental history ✔ Lifestyle questions that show fit and communication style ✔ Why body language matters during showings ✔ How to set proper screening expectations
