One of the constant issues for any landlord is how to check the previous rental history of each applicant to find the 'right tenant' for their property. Especially, when tenants can falsify their references (in some circumstances) or withhold important information.
As your managing agent one of the services that we utilise to choose the best possible tenant are 'tenant history checks'. These are national companies who have been operating for many years in the collection of personal data and have been established exclusively to monitor tenant information.
This information forms a valuable risk minimisation tool for property managers trying to locate the 'right' person for their client's valuable property.
The databases records contain positive tenant histories as well as negative to form a balanced reporting system that both encourages and rewards tenants for 'doing the right thing', while also permitting tenancy infringements and property damage to be reported for later use in application vetting.
Tenants want to avoid being listed on these databases and it can therefore be a great tool to ensure that tenants work with us in accordance with meeting their tenancy agreement obligations.
You can be confident that our agency conducts thorough reference checking to ensure that we choose the best possible tenant for your property. We understand that careful reference checking can save you literally thousands of dollars in the long term.
Tenant reference checking is just one of the many valuable services offered by our property management team.
