Landlords
A series for all of the Landlords.
#2 Landlords do your due diligence.
Landlords, first I will be compassionate. I completely understand that you met the tenant who charms the pants off of you. They look great, talk great and you think you
've found the perfect tenant no background check necessary. No, no, no Mr. & Ms. Landlord thats where you get into trouble.
Landlords should run background screenings 100% of the time. By running background screenings the Landlord can easily see if someone has a history of criminal activity, evictions as well as see their history of paying their other bills. Background checks are easy for Landlords to run through local apartment associations or through a variety of web based programs. Westside Rentals will give you an application and background check for a small fee. It is simple and painless to have everyone interested in your rental fill out the application form that the screening service provides, and you will usualy have a report within minutes.
Landlords, for the tax deductable small cost of $10 to
$40 you can avoid tenants that have not paid their rent and other bills in the past. These tenants will have a greater probability of not missing their payments when you rent to them. Other tenants I recommend you avoid, people who abuse drugs or are frequently in and out of jail because they seldom become stable tenants.
