It’s essential every small landlord runs a credit check to make sure they know who they are renting to. If you don’t your could face huge losses!

It’s now also essential landlords understand the need to use the most professional companies to run these checks and avoid scams.

You Can Stand Out To Great Tenants As A Professional Win-Win Oriented Landlord By Using Services From the Leading Background Check Provider In Canada

Recently there have been a lot of shady small start-up companies that are offering “services” for small landlords.

These companies have upset good tenants because of things like secretly adding them to illegal “bad tenant lists”, allowing defamatory comments on their sites and even not even requiring tenants to consent for their information being used.

There are already investigations, disputes, and lawsuits starting and lots of negative media and reports.

Manitoa Landlords Are Facing Challenges In 2021…But Also Opportunities!

Saturday, January 2nd, 2021

Manitoba Landlords have had a very challenging 2020

With the Covid pandemic many tenants couldn’t (or just didn’t) pay rent and this led to financial stress on many of us. Despite some help from the province, many did not collect full rent and others faced late rent regularly.

Opportunities in 2021

Experienced and successful Manitoba landlords know there will also be opportunities in 2021.

When the economy gets stronger there will be more people coming to our province to work. These more qualified tenants will be on the way and looking for great rentals.

Students will also be returning. This will lead to a very strong rebound in the student rental sector.

Tenant Screening

Make sure you continue to screen your potential renters carefully. This should include references, employment proof and a credit check.

You can join the Manitoba Landlords Association and begin running credit checks for under $10/check.

Manitoba Landlords Face Challenges And Opportunities in 2021

Make sure you take advantage of the opportunities and make sure you screen all potential tenants with a credit check.

Another landlord in Brandon had a tenant break a lease and leave major damages behind. He wrote about how the tenant lied about her job and brought several people in to the small apartment. He wrote “They left the place a total mess. Garbage,  holes in the drywall, plumbing all clogged, appliances damages…you name it.”

Manitoba Landlords Can Make Sure You Rent To The Good Good Tenants Out There By Running Credit Checks

Experienced and successful Manitoba landlords know the importance of renting to good tenants.

After all, you have bought and prepared a great place to live with you rental property. Many Manitoba landlords were tenants ourselves at one point, or we have friends and relatives who rent now, and we know how good tenants appreciate a good landlord and a safe, affordable, well-maintained rental property 

We also know how important it is for tenants to have a great landlord!

What Makes A Great Landlord?

A great landlord is just like most of the readers here. We have invested a lot of our savings into a rental property. We maintain it well and want to make it as pretty as possible.

We hope to find great tenants who will live in our rental property and be happy and appreciate the property and us, as landlords, who have invested a lot of our hard earned money to create the property.

Landlords Keep Getting Ripped Off Bad Tenants

The stories keep coming. Tenants come in, and either don’t pay rent or trash the property.

This lead many landlords to give up. They just give up or look for a better place to invest.  We know of a case where a couple of Brandon landlords sold and became Newmarket Ontario Landlords and have achieved great financial success.

Did You Run Proper Tenant Screening Including a Credit Check?

Very few Manitoba landlords run credit checks and proper tenant screening on their potential tenants before handing over the keys.

Are they too trustful? Yes. You need to be very cautious and know who you are renting to. You need only to view what the situation is for Ontario Landlords to realize you need to screen carefully.

How Can Great Landlords Find Great Tenants?

A credit check will show you the financial history of a potential tenant.

Do they pay their bills on time? Have they not paid someone before? It’s a key tenant screening check!

Most Manitoba Landlord Don’t Screen Tenants And Don’t Run Credit Checks

This is the sad reality, so who is to blame when landlords rent to bad tenants? A Winnipeg landlord said she just trusts what a tenant says. She sold her rental after a bad tenant ripped her off.

How Can I Run Premium Credit Checks At A Great Price?

Landlords Face Many Challenges in 2013 – Make Sure You Rent to Good Tenants Using The Power of Equifax Credit Checks

Monday, January 14th, 2013

January 13th, 2013

…

MLA Challenges

…

Dangerous Challenges Face Manitoba Landlords in 2013 Making Equifax Tenant Screening Using Credit Checks More Important Than Ever

A year of challenges.  That’s what Manitoba landlords face in 2013.

Looking back at what happened in the rental market and to landlords in 2012, the trends are clear.

And it’s not good news for good Manitoba landlords.

Whether you own your investment property in Winnipeg, Brandon, or elsewhere the message is clear: the current government is not on our side and are making it increasingly difficult for small landlords to succeed.

The trends make it more important than ever for Manitoba landlords to rent out to good tenants and avoid the pros.

Let’s look at some of these challenges and trends.

1.  Want to raise the rent in 2013?  The government set the rate at only 1%

We are all faced with lots of increased costs this year.  Taxes are going up, utility costs are going up, and good contractors are charging more than ever to do repairs and improvements.

You want to maintain and even improve your rental property.  That’s expensive.

So what does the government do? They say you can’t raise the rent more than 1%1

Why would anyone sane create such a short-sighted policy that will hurt good landlords who want to rent out great properties?

According to the government they, “…understand how stressful it can be for students, seniors and low-income families to make ends meet.  Rent guidelines help ensure fairness for renters.”

Yeah, right.

Good properties require regular upkeep from good contractors. That means landlords have to pay and have to at least cover their costs. 1% doesn’t do that.

2.  Bad Tenants Are Driving Out Good Tenants

Remember the story of the Chinese international student studying at the University of Manitoba?  You know, the student who was lucky to dodge a bullet coming from another tenants.

The tenant was Kate Cheng was about to enjoy a late night snack when she realized drywall in the apartment was falling. She didn’t worry too much at the time because she thought a neighbour must have been doing some late night drilling to put up pictures.

It was only later she realized the seriousness of the situation – someone had shot bullets into her apartment and she was lucky to be alive.

3.  Tenant Versus Tenant Violence is Escalating

Another example in 2012 shows trends for landlords.

Loud music and a floor-stomping tenant led to a woman being stabbed in an Agnes Street apartment Tuesday night, police said.

Or the tenant who stabbed his neighbouring tenant.

Police said the woman and two men were socializing in a suite while playing loud music around the supper hour.

A tenant directly above the group took offence to the noise and began jumping on the floor in an attempt to get the partiers to turn down the music. Two men from the party confronted the upstairs tenant, then returned to the downstairs suite, police said.

4.  Government Social Housing Is Going Down the Drain (With Tenants Living in Fear)

Or lets discuss the tenant who is living in government housing who is scared beyond belief after another tenant was murdered in the same rental building

5.  Tenants Complaining And Going Over Your Head and Directly to the Government

The current government is encouraging tenants to go over the landlords head with complaints.

Instead of mature discussion, tenants are being encouraged to contact government by-law officers to punish their landlords.  This is common in other anti-landlord provinces.

So What Can A Landlord Do In The Current Anti-Good Landlord Environment We Face?

The key is renting to qualified tenants.

Qualified tenants will respect your property, respect the landlords, and pay on time!

How Can You Find Qualified Tenants?

The Manitoba Landlords Association has the answer.

The answer is making Equifax your partner in Tenant Screening and finding great, qualified tenants.

Equifax is the world-wide leader for credit fraud and screening.

 MLA equifax

 

MLA members can work with Equifax to make sure you you make objective and informed decisions when approving or declining prospective tenants.

MLA Members Have Access to:

  • Online tool that captures information you already have such as applicant’s name, address and date of birth
  • Takes the guesswork out of the credit worthiness decision
  • Provides clear and concise recommendations—you do not need to be an expert on reading credit reports or interpreting credit scores

How it Works

Whether you maintain two rental units or 200, we designed Tenant Selector with your needs in mind. It is easy to use, secure and provides a real-time recommendation based on the credit worthiness of the applicant(s). Tenant Selector considers:

The likelihood the tenant will declare bankruptcy in the next 24 months

  • The probability the tenant will make their rent payments to you on time
  • Irregularities or confirmed misuse in names, addresses and phone numbers—or other suspicious behaviour that could indicate fraud
  • The tenant’s ability to afford the cost of rent plus other debts (Total Debt Service Ratio)

Even if your applicant does not have a credit score, Tenant Selector can still deliver an “accept” or “decline” recommendation based on all available information.

…

Manitoba landlords the message is clear. The government will not help us, so make sure you rent only to good tenants. The Equifax Tenant Screening is a tool you need to use.
