San Jose Leasing and Tenant Placement

Name: Aborn Properties
Address: 2660 John Montgomery Dr. Suite 1, San Jose, CA, 95148
Telephone: (408) 272-4100
Price range: $$

At Aborn Properties, we screen more than 200 people every year. These are prospective residents who want to live in one of the homes we manage, and we’re highly selective when it comes to placing those tenants. We understand the importance of a good tenant. Selecting the right resident affects your rental income and your long term returns. We take this responsibility seriously.

Trying to choose your own tenant can be risky. You need access to extensive background information that includes credit and reference checks. You need to know where to look for prior evictions and judgments, and you’ll need the tools to collect and verify income information and references. This is time-consuming.

It’s also risky because the new housing laws in California are designed to protect the rights of tenants, and it’s easy to make an expensive mistake. Leave the screening and leasing to your property management partners at Aborn Properties.

Fair Housing and Established Rental Criteria

Placing a well-qualified tenant in your San Jose rental property is more important than it’s ever been before. The law has made it more difficult to evict tenants, so you’ll want to place a resident who can be trusted to pay rent and take care of the home in the long term.

You also need to be mindful of how you screen. In California, we are not permitted to look at the source of income when a potential tenant applies for a property. We can establish income standards, but we cannot judge or consider where that income comes from.

It’s been legally established that Section 8 income vouchers can qualify as income. This is an important change to the way San Jose rental property owners market their homes and screen their tenants. We keep our process compliant and free from any legal liability.

We establish rental criteria for every adult who is interested in applying for one of our properties. We provide this criteria to any potential applicant. This allows our screening process to remain objective, fair, and consistent. It makes a big difference in placing the right tenant correctly and in compliance with all state, federal, and local laws.

Aborn Properties screens tenants thoroughly and fairly in San Jose and the surrounding communities.

Our Process for Rigorous Tenant Screening

We’re thorough, and we also keep things simple. We have some basic criteria in place which include income and credit standards, and we look for excellent landlord references. Then, we assess whether the prospective tenant is a long term tenant and likely to meet the requirements of the rental agreement.

Here are the specific things we’re looking at when we evaluate applications:

Completed tenant application is accepted
Tenant credit checks are completed
Eviction check for prior unlawful detainers
Tenant income verification with pay stubs and tax forms
Landlord references and interviews

If you’re renting out a pet-friendly property and your prospective tenant has pets, we’ll also screen those animals and discuss the pet fees, pet rent, and pet policy we have in place.

As soon as we find and approve a tenant, we get started on moving that resident into your property.

What People Are Saying About Us

Mike S.

Aborn properties has been my rock and reliable support for my needs as a fledgling landlord. They have handled all my tenancy needs, including legal concerns (evictions, etc.), and have been a great resource and source of information and advice. I've been using them for about 4 years now, and have absolutely no complaints. I have not only used them in dealing with a cast of tenants, but also. used them a few years back to serve as my real estate agent when purchasing my personal home (which I have been quite happy with). I'm surprised I'm the first to rate them on here, as I know they have services many, many happy clients locally for probably a few decades. I highly advise thinking of Aborn if you are a property owner looking for help!' best interests in mind and usually had workmen here to fix something very quickly, no questions asked. The online portal for reporting such issues is also fantastic - especially since problems tend to never happen during the business hours. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

There has never been a doubt in my mind that I hired the best property management company in San Jose. I have been with them for over 15 years and they manage a number of my properties here in California. There has never been a discrepancy in their service to me. Even when things weren’t going smoothly with some of my properties, they handled the issues quickly and without complaint. Things are bound to come up when you are juggling many things at once, and I’m glad I’m with a company that can handle it all. When they met our dog for the first time, they were all so sweet! We love our house and really value how Portola helps make this our home! In my experience, they are by far the best property managers in all of Santa Cruz.

Teri S.

Aborn Properties was my property manager for more than three years. I was very impressed with their professionalism and service. As a tenant, I appreciated their quick response time and attention to detail. My contact was Joi and she was always very friendly and willing to help without being intrusive or annoying. Rent payments were facilitated by an easy and immediate online payment system which meant I didn't have to send a rent check a week in advance. The return of the deposit was fair, timely, and well detailed. My experience with Aborn was first-rate and I would highly recommend them. You won't find a better property manager anywhere, I recommend her to all my clients who buy investment property.
