Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
Now that we have talked about screening any potential tenants, there quite a few other things that you need to make sure that you are doing when you are looking to rent to people. Firstly, the screening is a good thing but you also need to make sure that you are checking their credit.
That way, you know not only that they have good credit but that they pay their bills on time. Paying their bills on time is a sign that you, as a landlord will get your rent on time and that is something that you want. Next, you want to make sure that they fill out an application.
What an application will do is provide you with rental history and you always want to make sure that you are calling any previous landlords, as they can tell you how the tenants were.
