Damaged appliances, the holes in the walls, nasty odours, unanswered phone calls and losses of hundreds or may be thousands of dollars. You know that all this is a kind of nightmare and this occurs only because of having a horrible tenant. You never know what could happen once you handle them the keys and they sign the lease agreement. Getting a tenant isn’t as easy as going for a walk in the nearby park and you have to deal with many bumpy situations and various unpleasant tenants. In this blog, we’ll talk about some bad tenants that you should avoid.
2. The next in the list is the Tardy payer: Now, these are also the one who doesn’t pay rent, but a little better than them. These tenants don’t pay their rent on time and won’t even answer the phone calls and messages of the landlord. But, at the end you do get the rent. This affects the impression of the tenant on the landlord. To prevent this, you can get the monthly deadline mentioned in the lease agreement and must mention the possible fees for paying late. If your tenant is not punctual, then it is usually not easy for the landlord to manage the budget, but he/she feels helpless because the rent is given although not on time. Your tenant might give you reasons like irresponsible and forgetful or an accident has occurred. You just have to be calm and talk to your tenant peacefully regarding this. Both the tenant and the landlord could also decide a new date which is suitable for both.
3. The third in the list is rule breaker: Every tenant has to follow some guidelines and they all should abide by the lease. Usually the home owners get the particular dos and Don’ts mentioned in the lease. But, sometimes the tenants think that they are allowed to break the written rules and that too without letting anyone knows. For instance, if you don’t want any pets in your property, then your tenants might get one when you are away. Subleasing is also one of the things that your tenant might do without letting you know. To avoid such cases, you can mention the legal penalties and consequences that the tenants have to pay in case they break any rule. If you are a landlord who lives away, then it is usually not easy to find out if the tenants have broken any rule or not, thus whenever you visit your property you can talk to the neighbours or ask them about the tenants.
