THESE THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY SEEM…
It is the classic nightmare for rental property owners. You
do everything possible to protect yourself and your investment from the
unscrupulous renter…dutifully screen the applicant for any criminal history…any
eviction history…you take a close look at their credit report…you call their
references and verify employment and salary. Everything looks stellar, perfect
and wonderful…until it isn’t.
The worst has happened and you ask yourself: HOW did this
person get past all of my efforts weed out high risk residents? The answer is
simple…criminals are not above stealing. Identity theft paints these criminals
as stellar residents gaining them access to your rental property.
Avoid finding yourself mired in nightmare tenancy by
following these three simple steps:
1.) Obtain
social security verification in all your screening reports
2.) Check
for valid photo identification on each applicant
3.) Conduct
regular inspections on your rental property to stay on top of any problems
before they get out of hand
