EXPERTS IN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Ready to help you at ANY time of the day... or night
Extra Property Management runs rigorous, fair-housing-compliant tenant screening on every applicant for your Trenton-area rental — so the person who signs your lease is the person who actually pays rent, follows the lease, and stays. We verify credit, income, rental history, and background before anyone gets the keys.
A consistent, documented process applied the same way to every applicant — no guesswork, no shortcuts.
We pull a full credit report and review scores, outstanding debt, collections, and payment patterns to gauge whether an applicant reliably meets their financial obligations.
We confirm employment, verify pay stubs, and apply a clear income-to-rent standard so you rent only to tenants who can comfortably afford the monthly payment.
We contact current and prior landlords to check on-time payment, lease compliance, property condition, and whether the tenant was ever asked to leave.
We screen national criminal records and eviction filings within the limits of fair-housing law, flagging patterns that put your property or other tenants at risk.
We manage the entire application — collecting documents, chasing missing paperwork, and communicating with applicants — so your unit stays professional and your inbox stays clear.
Every applicant is evaluated against the same written criteria, keeping your rental compliant with federal and New Jersey fair-housing rules and protecting you from discrimination claims.
An eviction in New Jersey is slow, expensive, and stressful — lost rent, court and legal costs, turnover, and sometimes property damage all land on you at once. Almost every one of those situations traces back to the same root cause: the wrong tenant was approved in the first place.
Thorough screening is where that risk is won or lost. By verifying credit, income, rental history, and background before a lease is signed, we filter out the applicants most likely to fall behind or breach the lease — long before they ever become a problem you have to litigate. It is far cheaper to say no to a risky applicant than to remove one later.
Just as important, we do it the right way. We apply the same objective, written standards to every applicant, document each decision, and stay inside federal and New Jersey fair-housing rules. That consistency protects your rental income and shields you from discrimination complaints. Extra Property Management is licensed in NJ & PA and knows the Trenton rental market firsthand — so your screening reflects real local conditions, not a generic checklist.
One set of written criteria, applied identically to every applicant and documented at each step — consistent with federal and New Jersey fair-housing rules.
Fair, documented screening works both ways — good tenants notice it too.
Owner of property Eric was very professional and kind. He resolved security deposit issue and has agreed to pay me the full balance of $1575 today 8/17/23. He has apologized for any misunderstanding of Extra Property Management’s Manager and has assured there will be no further issues. He expressed gratitude for me and my husband being one of his best tenants always on time with rent, all water bills paid and property left well. Thank you Eric and Extra Properties. God bless all of you. Melba Colon
