Landlords all over the province are on high alert after reading about the latest landlord victim from the “Tenant From Hell”.
The report is from Metro News.
It’s about a tenant who they call a “tenant from Hell” because she is now at landlord #7 to cheat and cause financial destruction using and manipulating the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board.
It’s also been reported at the Toronto Star.
And the Ontario Landlords Association has an editorial and a warning for Ontario landlords.
How To Rent To Good Tenants
We wrote before at the Toronto Landlords site about the importance of good tenant screening.
The majority of tenants out there are good and honest people.
They want to rent from you and will be good tenants.
What Is A Good Tenant?
You want to rent to these people, and they are the majority. They are decent people who want a safe, well-maintained and affordable home.
Even BC landlords have written about the challenges of finding good tenants.
And Alberta landlords are also now discussing the importance of renting from great tenants and avoiding the ‘professional tenants’ out there who want to rip off small landlords.
So what makes a good tenant?
1. They Want To Rent From Good Landlords
These good tenants want to rent from landlords who know the laws according to the Ontario Residential Tenancies Act and do things like give proper notice when making repairs.
2. Good Tenants Pay Rent On Time
These good tenants appreciate you and your Toronto rental property and will make sure they pay rent on time.
3. These Good Tenants Take Care of the Property
These tenants will move the lawn, shovel the drive-way and treat the property like they own it.
4. These Will Contact You If There Are Issues You Need To Take Care Off
Good tenants will call you if they see issues with the rental property.
For example, if there is a hint of mold they will call you so you can deal with it in the early stages.
5. Good Tenants Will Provide Proper Notice When Moving Out
Many Ontario landlords have emailed us complaining of tenants breaking the lease and moving with less than proper notice.
Good tenants read the rules and will fulfil their lease an provide proper notice so you can be ready to re-rent to new good tenants.
