When
renting a property, renter will have both bad and good rental experience. Bad
experience is happen when the tenants slow in paying their rent and negligent
with the property. Otherwise, a good rental experience is felt when the tenants
pay their bill on time, keep the property clean, and following the lease
agreement. As a renter, it will be impossible to engage in the tenants’ daily life.
Therefore, it’s felt like impossible to avoid a bad rental experience. However,
as everything in this world, nothing could be avoided but minimizing is
probability.
There
is a complicated but the best way to minimize the risk of getting a bad tenant.
It is called as tenants screen process. This process requires a detailed
application, referrals from former landlords, and references from people that
are not the tenant family, a background check, and a security deposit. With
this, a renter will make a bigger chance to get a good tenant.
Good
at first may not last long. Consequently, a monitoring should take a place.
Most people will behave when knowing that another person that has an authority
watch them. It will take less effort when the renter place is not too far from
the property, else it will take more effort.
There
are some good ways to monitoring tenants that will make them feel like being
watched but cannot complain any further. First, it will be good if the renter
come without a call ahead while bringing some cake or things to discuss. Play a
role of easy going or warm-hearted landlord. In this case tenants cannot refuse
frequent visit from the owner. The other way is to hire a spray exterminator
frequently. The owner has a point in wanting no pest in the property and has a
good preview of what the property looks like in tenants’ hand. Then a
complicated work may be considered, such as doing a background check to make
sure that the tenants tell the truth about themselves.
A
bad rental experienced is impossible to be avoided, but not in minimizing the
chance. Tenants screen process is the first step to minimize this chance. Then
this first step is continued by a good way of monitoring. When all go well, it
is possible to have a bigger chance in having good tenants.
