No matter how you look at it, moving a tenant into a rental property is always a quick-turnaround. In busy times volume might be an issue - with multiple tenants and properties needing to be matched up and completed. In leaner times, it might be a demanding landlord desperate to end a void period by getting a tenant in as quickly as possible. The pressure and demands on your time can be overwhelming, and it can suddenly become attractive to rush through tenant administration to appease all parties.
However, cutting corners can come back to haunt you. For starters, meticulous tenant checks will result in a better calibre of tenant. A reliable tenant is more likely to take care of a property and pay on time - and there's no need to spell out how costly and time consuming rent arrears and deposit disputes are. There's also registering a deposit a legal requirement and essential if you ever need to action a Section 21 notice.
If you're tenant-rich but time-poor, why not outsource pre-tenancy administration to ARPM Property Management?
