Please advice me on keeping new tenants.

Hi everybody, I have had some issues with my current tenant as they had some criminal activity and got rid of them as they had their own problems with the place and it was by sheer luck that they themselves decided to get moving. I need to keep the property occupied as I am on pension and the rent was my supportive income to manage expenses. But, neither do I want to bump into any other annoying people as my tenants. Please do advice me on how to deal with this situation.

Did you have a check on the tenant’s criminal record and some consultation with their employers or previous landlord? I think that you missed on those otherwise you wouldn’t have had so many problems. I would advice you to have a complete check on the tenants every aspect like a criminal check, credit status, a talk with reliable people around them etc and then go to keep them. For more consideration on this, you can get an e-book on tenant screening from tenant reports and can get more insight on this. Don’t forget to watch a funny audio on a prospective tenant from hell……it was just hilarious.

During the years I live here I met more criminal landlords than tenants
