How To Deal With tenants?

如何與租客打交道

如果您初初開始購買投資物業，並且不知道如何與您的租客打交道，本指南將會教您怎樣為您的物業出租投資找到正確的租客，並確保您每次都做出英明決策。

 

第一步

要求您的租客填寫一份租客申請表。有了該表（可簡易），您可以了解他們的：個人信息（姓名、婚姻狀況、現住址）；工作詳情；銀行詳情（使您可以做一個透徹的信用調查來確知他們是否有能力負擔得起您的物業），同時也使您有機會要求他們填寫一份補充的調查問卷。通過該申請表，您將能夠對您租客的背景有一個準確的了解，並明確其是否合適租住您的物業。

第二步

要求租客提供推薦信。在申請過程中，租客應向您提供其推薦人的詳細資料。推薦人必須是其原/現房東、現僱主、銀行或類似牙醫、醫生等專業人士的個人推薦者。

很重要的一點是，您要親自去聯絡這些推薦人，而不是接受您租客手頭已經寫好的推薦信。假如有機會，他們可能會給您提供一份自己寫的、不實地美化他們背景的推薦信。

第三步

會見您的租客。許多職業房東選擇讓其出租經紀人為其挑選租客，但這或許會是一個大錯。通過親自會見租客（在簽協議之前），您可以對他們的背景作出自己的判斷，並且發現一些通過申請表未必都能看出的問題。

How to Deal With Tenants

If you are new to buying an investment property and are not sure how to deal with your tenants, this guide will show you how to choose the right tenants for your residential property investment, and make sure you do it right every time.

Step 1

Ask your tenant to fill in a Tenant Application Form. Using such a form (and make it simple), you will be able to discover their: personal information (name, marital status, current address); employment details; bank details (enabling you to do a thorough credit check to see if they can afford your property) and also give you the opportunity to ask them to fill in a supplementary questionnaire. Through this application form you will be able to gain an accurate picture of your tenant’s character and if they are right for your property.

Step 2

Ask for tenant references. During their Tenant Application, tenants should provide you with details of their referees. These should either be their previous/current landlord, current employer, bank or a personal referee who is a professional i.e. dentist, doctor, etc.

It is important that you contact these references personally and don’t take a written reference from your tenant. Given the opportunity they could provide you with a reference written by themselves which falsely amplifies their character.

Step 3

Interview your tenants. Many professional landlords choose to let their letting agents pick their tenants, but this could prove to be a big mistake. By meeting your tenants in person (before they sign the agreement), you can get your own take on their character and see things which won’t always be evident in their application.
