What would work best in this situation?

THE SITUATION

You reported a small leak under your kitchen sink. Your landlord arranged for a plumber to come tomorrow, and you agreed to be home. Your work schedule has now changed. You can’t be there, and the leak seems worse.

Rate each response below. Choose 1 (not at all effective) through 5 (very effective).

Contact the landlord now, explain both changes, and work out how the plumber can get in.

Ask to move the visit to your next day off. Keep a container under the leak until then.

Your package questions, answered.

What does my package include?

Traditional references completed by previous landlords and a behavioral assessment completed by the applicant, with both reports. Both components are included for every applicant covered by your plan.

Who completes each part?

The applicant supplies rental history and completes the behavioral assessment. Previous landlords provide their own reference answers and ratings. You can enter reference contact details manually when needed.

What is a tenant behavior assessment?

A tenant behavior assessment uses realistic rental scenarios to explore an applicant’s judgment about property care, communication, lease rules, following through, and shared spaces. YesTenant summarizes these responses in a report to support follow-up conversations alongside your other screening information.

Which package includes a credit report and score?

YesTenant Complete includes a credit report and score, alongside the applicant-completed behavioral assessment and traditional landlord references.

How long does the assessment take?

Plan for approximately 10 minutes to complete the assessment.

What is the science behind YesTenant?

YesTenant draws on situational judgment testing, a researched approach that uses realistic scenarios and a consistent response format. Results help structure follow-up conversations; they do not guarantee future rental behavior.

How should I use the results?

Use the report to add context and guide follow-up conversations alongside your other screening information. There is no pass or fail, and a score is not a guarantee of future behavior.

What do applicants answer?

Short scenarios about everyday rental situations. Applicants respond to questions about how they handle these situations.

What does the score mean?

The report summarizes assessment responses in one overall score. Five dimension scores show the results in more detail.
