如何SCREEN 租客

cunningchu

租客落訂俾我地的支票地址係佢Alberta地址, 佢話佢係黎度無用支票, 所以用以前係alberta的支票....又話佢老豆由佢15歲開始就係個戶口co-signer...

佢話如果有問題, 話可以俾cash, 轉頭又話佢boy friend可以用b.c. 地址的支票交租.  

未發現支票問題前, 佢話租的receipt 只需寫佢名, 但佢boy friend係係度住, 我原先諗住係租約度列明住客的名....佢又好似唔想咁....佢地兩個係年輕西人, 我都唔知佢地的關係係咪easy-come-easy-go.

仲有...屋租已經佔果女仔的人工一半, 而佢boy friend的人工又俾佢少, 加上兩個人好似唔係做左野好耐...我地的ad話明唔可以食煙....擒日落訂隨口問佢, 佢先話佢地2個都食煙...不過唔會係屋入邊食....

擒日初步落訂時, 佢俾埋5月份的租, security deposit, pet damage deposit & the coming 6 months rental by post-dated cheque (we didnt ask that indeed).  Yet, we haven't sign the tenancy agreement until this sat.  

When we found the cheque problem, we called them right away and they claimed they are a good tenant and urge us to do the check with their employer.  They provided 2 pay slip as a proof they are working.

If you were us, how do you evaluate this potential tenant?   We want to call off the deal as we worry they can't afford the rent.  but this is not a decent way & a sound reason to decline their offer, right?

It's a complicated issue. But to be simple, no matter what kind of job nature and which country the company based, the most important concern it's the "job security". Something like, how long they have been working for that company, how much salary they're getting...etc. It's not an uncommon practice to actually contact the current and previous employers to gather more information. A general suggestion is a mortgage/rent should not exceed 1/3 of the total gross income to play safe. Smoking and pet are definitely an additional concern for most landlords. It you already knew they're smokers, don't just trust them they only smoke outdoor but not inside, even so, the smell will get into the house anyways and it's a trouble to clean away afterward. Since there is too much concern, I think you already got an idea what to do la. ^^

I won't take them as tenant due to the following reasons:
1. unsecure/unstable income
2. liers for not smoking, they can buy a dog and keep it in the yard, tell you that the dog will not go inside later....

btw, why do you collect pet damage deposit if they don't have a pet???
imply that they might have one later??

我一定唔會租比佢， 講完淨係話唔落個男既名已經好有問題啦
一定要寫啊， 你理得佢easy come easy go 啦

Can treat the "pet damage deposit" as "smoke damage deposit" la. But smoke damage could be a lot more serious!

諗住容易租出去, 咪俾租客俾半個月租當作寵物damage的費用; 另外, 由於個apt係新起的, 我地亦要求租客俾半個月的租金作為保証金, 以防佢整爛間屋.  

呢對potential租客黎睇屋時, 已經同我地講有隻貓, 我地原先諗住俾租客養狗, 驚貓會抓爛門, 牆, 大小二便會好臭等,但係反口好似唔係咁好. 諗住算啦...佢唔肯落男朋友的名, 我都覺得唔對路, 但又好似係人地的事, 問又好似唔係咁好...最後先發現佢的支票地址全部係alberta, 但佢搬左落BC成兩年, 再發現佢人工好吃力租我地間屋...佢老闆(我地估佢係自僱人士)話幾個月後會再加佢人工...所有野加埋先令我地起疑心...

長話短說, 我地退返佢開的所有支票俾佢地, 個鬼妹最後搵佢的男友代收, 完全無出現過, 但個鬼仔好好禮貌, 個樣好似好慘咁...但我老公話唔好心軟, 唔係到時佢地搬左入黎唔走, 我地仲煩.

不過, 經過黎次screen住客, 我地學識原來要預俾張form俾個租客填資料, 然後再跟據資料查, 唔好摛摛青收人訂金先去查 (今次都好彩, 對鬼無發爛渣), 另外要問清楚佢做咩, 做幾耐, 幾錢人工, 依家住的地方住左幾耐等等...唔好怕唔好意思...仲有我地決定唔租俾養貓的人, 狗仔的話, 要睇下咩狗...收的期票, 要對方寫早幾日, 以便銀行需要3日去hold票...等等....

諗起頭到大哂....但唔租出去又唔得...依家又要重頭黎過...

原來租屋俾人係一門好大的學問..

Leave it to the real estate agent to do it for you. They charge you about $60-100 depend on how much rent you received. They will find you a tenant and collect rent for you.

I don't think an agent will do that for you. This is usually the job of property management and if they have that connection (or under the same company), they can arrange that for you.

rental property management company will do it for you.

some real estate agents have both licencees. So they could do it.
