Tenant and Landlord AwarenessTenants and Landlords are adversaries in many instances where there is a lack of respect by either one or both parties and it often results in a tenant leaving the landlord stuck with unpaid rental fees and/or damaged rental property.As there are many tenants that do not respect landlords so too are there landlords that do not respect tenants. For example when a tenant moves into a rental unit he/she can reasonably expect that it is clean and has been well maintained. i.e. the carpets and walls should be clean, the faucets should not be leaking, and the appliances should be in good working order etc.Where this is not the case the first thing that will happen is the tenant will complain and where action isn't taken immediately to remedy the situation, respect will be lost. As we know scenarios like this can be the start of problems that result in a messy outcome that often impacts the bottom line of a business and/or an unnecessary move for the tenant.
Unfortunately there are tenants and landlords that will never change their habits and will continue to take advantage of a situation whenever allowed. Good landlords will look at ways of improving relationships with tenants and will do whatever is necessary to make the tenant comfortable and happy during the tenancy. For most landlords this is just common sense and aside from running a business most landlords want hassle free tenants because completing forms for late payments and evictions as well as having verbal confrontations is not a pleasant task. Many landlords and tenants decide to utilize tenant verification services and tenant screening to minimize their mutual risks. Tenants and Landlords can prevent unnecessary tenancy problems by having criteria that must be met prior to signing a lease/tenancy agreement.
