WHY SHOULD YOU CHECK A TENANT'S CREDIT?? | HOME | WHY CHECK? | ABOUT US | HOW TO | LINKS | EMAIL | |
When you own a rental property, the selection of an appropriate tenant is
critical to the success of the
landlord-tenant relationship.
As a landlord, you need to verify that all the information on a tenant's
application is legitimate and that the
tenant has a history of reliability and promptness in meeting their financial
obligations.
Unfortunately, tenants can provide misleading or fraudulent information on their
applications. Protect
yourself as much as possible from problem tenants.
A Credit Check is an invaluable and inexpensive tool to assist landlords in the
tenant screening
process. Credit reports cannot be
directly obtained from credit agencies.
Screenings of a tenant must go beyond a phone call to a former landlord or
contacting a "character
reference".
TENANTCHECKprovides landlords with a unique opportunity to access a
tenant's credit history
BEFORE entering into a tenancy
agreement.
