Finding a qualified, reliable tenant is one of the most important steps in successful rental property ownership. At DFW Rent Houses, we offer professional tenant placement services for landlords and property owners throughout Arlington, TX and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re managing a single-family home or a portfolio of properties, our proven process helps you avoid the headaches of vacancy, unqualified renters, and potential legal risks.
We take the stress and guesswork out of leasing your property by handling everything from marketing to lease signing. If you’re looking for help finding a great tenant—without the ongoing responsibilities of full property management—our tenant placement service is a smart and flexible solution.
What’s Included in Our Tenant Placement Services
Our goal is to help you fill your vacancy quickly with a qualified tenant who will pay rent on time, follow the lease, and treat your property with respect. Here’s what’s included when you hire DFW Rent Houses to place a tenant on your behalf.
Property Evaluation and Rent Pricing
The first step is a rental market analysis. We review your property’s features, location, and condition, then compare it with similar homes currently on the market. This helps us set a competitive rent price that attracts quality applicants while maximizing your return.
We’ll also recommend any small improvements that could help your property rent faster or command a higher price, such as paint touch-ups, landscaping, or updated fixtures.
Professional Marketing
Once your property is rent-ready, we begin a targeted marketing campaign to get it in front of the right people. Our marketing includes:
- Listing on the MLS, Zillow, Trulia, and other major rental platforms
- Professional photos and engaging descriptions
- Social media advertising and local syndication
- Prompt responses to inquiries and showing requests
We don’t just list your property—we actively promote it to fill your vacancy faster.
Tenant Screening
Not all applicants are created equal. Our tenant screening process is designed to protect your investment by thoroughly evaluating each applicant. We screen for:
- Credit history and score
- Criminal background checks
- Employment and income verification
- Rental history and references
- Eviction records
We follow all Fair Housing laws and apply consistent criteria to ensure compliance and reduce risk. Only qualified applicants are presented to you for final approval.
Lease Preparation and Signing
Once you approve a tenant, we prepare a state-compliant lease agreement that protects your interests and clearly outlines the responsibilities of all parties. Our leases include:
- Rent and deposit amounts
- Term dates and renewal clauses
- Maintenance responsibilities
- Pet and occupancy rules
- Late fees and notice requirements
We also collect the first month’s rent and security deposit on your behalf and ensure all documents are signed and securely stored.
Move-In Coordination
Before the tenant receives keys, we conduct a move-in inspection to document the property’s condition. This protects both parties and helps avoid disputes when the tenant eventually moves out. We’ll also provide the tenant with any relevant instructions for utilities, trash pickup, and neighborhood rules.
After move-in, we turn the property back over to you. If you’re managing the property yourself, we’ll provide you with:
- Signed lease documents
- Inspection photos
- Tenant contact information
- Payment records

Hiring DFW Rent Houses to handle tenant placement gives you peace of mind and professional results. Here’s why property owners trust us with this critical step:
- Faster leasing: Our marketing reach and prompt response time reduce days on market.
- Lower risk: Our screening process weeds out red flags before they become problems.
- Legal compliance: We follow Texas property laws and Fair Housing regulations.
- Stronger tenants: We focus on placing tenants who are financially stable, responsible, and respectful of your property.
