Landlords are switched on to tenant checks.<\/p><\/div>It\u2019s great to see that more landlords are carrying out tenant checks before new tenants move onto their properties. We see so many cases of landlords coming to us for debt collection or eviction services that could have been avoided if full tenant checks had been carried out.<\/p>\n

Landlords<\/a> can limit their risk of damage to their properties by carrying out full references as well as taking out landlords insurance.<\/p>\n

Carrying out a thorough reference needn\u2019t take a long time. The vast majority (90 per cent) of tenant references carried out by Legal 4 Landlords<\/a> are completed within 48 hours. We even have a service that carries them out in four hours if you need to really move quickly.<\/p>\n

The growth in demand for rental properties – over 19,700 new tenants registered for rental properties in August, means landlords are looking at ways to cover themselves should their tenants experience financial issues and fail to pay the rent.<\/p>\n

With a record number of people renting it\u2019s inevitable that there are more incidences of tenants being unable to pay their rent, more with credit issues. Added to this, unemployment is on the rise. Landlords need to make sure they have all the facts before deciding whether a tenant is suitable to live in their property.<\/p>\n

At Legal 4 Landlords <\/a>we\u2019ve seen a huge rise in the number of tenant checks we\u2019re carrying out on behalf of landlords \u2013 the message is clear \u2013 don\u2019t take chances on potentially unsuitable tenants. Don\u2019t cut corners and get a full reference on every potential tenant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
