Finding New Tenants
There has always been an issue
with bad tenants. These are the
ones who skip out on rent,
destroy the rental and generally
are a pain for everyone involved.
As much as everyone would like,
it is hard to filter out the good
from the bad until after the fact.
What is needed is a solid
screening process that will keep
the good from the bad. Consistency in the process is absolutely vital for the
very best outcome. It can be done without violating fair housing laws, yet
the application, credit and background checks are still in place.
These are the five tried and true steps to the screening process.
1. Initial contact – The tenant makes the first contact and inquires for
some basic information. This should be simple, quick and done.
2. Viewing – The potential tenant and the landlord arrange a first showing
of the property. This is when the landlord and the potential tenant meet one
another, see the unit and discuss a few questions.
3. Application – The potential tenant shows some interest and chooses to
fill out an application. This will include references, previous rental history
and employment information.
4. Yes or No – Is the potential tenant a good candidate? The information on
the application will tell. This is when the landlord or property manager will
run credit checks and background checks to determine whether or not the
tenant is a good choice.
5. Lease – The lease is the legal, binding instrument between the landlord
and tenant. Both parties should be well-versed in the rules and regulations.
It is not too late to tear up the lease if the situation is not working out well.
