Securing a quality tenant involves much more than an online credit/criminal background check. A simple online credit check may not reveal NSF history. Most banks don’t report NSF transaction history unless the bank account is closed due to abuse or fraud.
Contacting the former landlord, is a step that is often left out of the tenant approval process. It’s time consuming to chase down the former landlord and sometimes difficult to get them on the phone. Typically, the former landlord is only asked “surface questions”. Such as, if the tenant paid rent on time and if the landlord was aware the tenant was moving. You will need to dig a little deeper to uncover any underlying issues or concerns.
Ask the following questions:
- Does the tenant owe you any outstanding debt?
- Does the tenant have a history of late payments?
- Has the tenant caused any major damage in the rental unit?
- Did the tenant disrupt the neighbors or cause any major issues while living there?
