Bad Tenants Can Damage Your Property

Thought we’d share with you some video that a landlord took of the inside of apartment, showing apparent damage caused by a tenant. Interesting discussion from various landlords, including the idea that you should inspect your property every six months to keep tabs on the condition of your asset.   Keep in mind that tenants who get evicted don’t have much of an interest in cleaning up the property before they leave.   We recommend you screen your potential tenants for previous eviction records before you allow them to move in.  While you cannot predict what will happen once they move in, at least you will know if they have a history of evictions.

 It’s also important to contact their previous landlords and see what additional information can be gleaned.  Hopefully you will find a good tenant. Good luck!
