Tenant Screening – Tenant Placement & Screening Services

Securing reliable tenants is the single most important factor in your investment’s performance. At Bluebird, we treat tenant placement like we’re hiring for our own team—because the right residents make all the difference. Our Boise tenant screening services minimize risk, reduce turnover, and foster respectful communities. The difference in knock on effects from placing a good tenant vs a bad one is huge! You can read all about that here.

What We Check

  • Comprehensive background checks – We run federal, state, and local criminal screenings and review eviction histories to ensure applicants have a clean record.
  • Credit and financial verification – Our team evaluates credit reports, debt‑to‑income ratios, and verifiable income to confirm applicants can comfortably afford the rent.
  • Rental history & references – We speak with prior landlords and personal references to gauge reliability, communication and care of previous residences.
  • Fair Housing compliance – Bluebird is committed to equal opportunity housing. Our screening criteria comply with all federal, state, and local regulations.



When renting out an investment property, you want to minimize any risk that could harm that asset. Whether that be through non-payment of rent or damage to the property. Our thorough screening process not only protects owners, but also tenants by creating respectful and harmonious living environments.

January 20, 2025
Boise, Idaho, continues to shine as a city of opportunity and growth, even as recent U-Haul migration data shows a slight shift in Idaho’s popularity. Ranked 10th on U-Haul’s list of most popular states people moved to in 2024, Idaho’s drop from 6th place last year raises questions about the state’s evolving appeal. Despite this change, Boise remains a standout destination for residents and investors alike.
boise rent control, boise housing market, boise housing laws, rent control, landlord tenant laws
August 12, 2024
Rent control is a law or local ordinance, introduced by government, that restricts how much a landlord can rent or increase the rent of a residential housing unit. It is a very controversial issue with certain states, including Idaho, banning rent control policies altogether. The goal of rent control is to provide and protect affordable housing amid increasing living costs and stagnant wages. However, this is not always the outcome and many argue that it in fact does the opposite, hurting those that it is looking to protect. Many rent control regulations limit landlords to raising rent by 5%-7% plus the increase in consumer price index (CPI), on an annual basis.
