The Need For Tenant Credit Check And Background Screening

By Maria Graham


When you are a property owner, you have many things on your plate. In addition to keeping the building maintained, you must also make sure your tenants not only pay their rent on time but are also happy. This helps you keep the building's mortgage paid on time. However, when it comes to a new tenant, things are a little more difficult; you are taking a chance on an unknown client. However, a tenant credit check and screening can help narrow down the application process, and make your search a little easier.

There are two vital aspects to the assessment; the subject and object of the check. The subjects of a tenant credit maybe a natural or juridical person. The former are entities that are deemed creations of the state such as partnerships, corporations, trust and agencies. The latter are individual persons (human beings).

The easiest time to obtain this information is when the person requires something from you, i. E., the rent of a room/ flat/house. At this stage, the cards are stacked in your favor. This provides the opportune time to obtain the information that hopefully you will never need.

The most important pieces of information are: Credit Score, previous addresses, date of birth, parents address (if future occupant is relatively young) and the employment details name of company but also all details of company. The information will help with trying to locate someone if they should leave owing rent.

More importantly, look for rental history during the tenant screening. Student loans are an expense like any other that is put on the back burner by many, especially if the payment is higher than others. Not that this excuses anything, but just keep it in mind.

The report details the past and current bankruptcy filing, Amount of outstanding debt, wage garnishments and the number of defaults on payment i. E., card defaults. In other words, a landlord can determine the financial history and payment history of the potential tenancy client. This information can be translated into: An approval, a denial, an approval but subject to higher rental, deposits, advance payment to offset risk

Getting in touch with the employer, previous landlords and rating agencies supply a good indication any time considering a potential renter. These investigations may be implemented by the landlord however they consume time and effort. A landlord can prefer to use the services of tenant screening companies.

A good leaseholder referencing Service Company will help the landlord to collect crucial information, which can help you to enjoy regular and safe rental income. Any good occupier referencing Service provider will offer speedy referencing system and procedure that will help you take swift and calculated decisions. They will be at your service 24X7. Therefore, ensure to take due diligence before leasing out your property.
