Tenants check

Any landlord of an apartment or commercial property knows that their biggest nightmare is a problematic tenant. What is a 'problematic tenant'? Well, in our case there are several scenarios and they are: a tenant who does not pay rent, a tenant who causes damage to property or public property, a tenant who is violent towards the owner of the apartment and the neighbors or a tenant who refuses to vacate even though his contract has expired.

How do you you avoid renting to a problematic tenant?

Since in most cases a lease is signed after a superficial acquaintance and initial impression of the property owner, it is not possible to identify with absolute certainty who will be a 'problematic tenant' in the future. But the possibility can certainly be greatly reduced by identifying tenants who are highly likely to become 'problematic tenants'.

The tenant protection laws in Israel are relatively strict and once a tenant takes possession of an apartment it is very difficult to evict him. Even if the tenant committed material violations of the contract, the owner of the property is not allowed to evict the tenant himself without a court order and any legal procedure takes time and costs money. Hence, it is better to remove as many doubts as possible ahead of time and the way to do this is through a background check. This is exactly the service BackGround provides. BackGround's background checks on tenants through two aspects - his ability to meet the rent payments and his personal background.

Financial check

The prevailing assumption is that a person who has no debt and has no history of bankruptcies or bad checks will have no trouble to comply with the lease. Therefore, the financial history of the potential tenant will be checked. A 'bankruptcy check', 'check of registration of cases in execution' and 'credit check' will be conducted. Based on these results, a recommendation will forwarded to the property owner.

Background check and criminal record

As mentioned, the second common concern of many property owners is a violent or recalcitrant tenant. In this context, the service that BackGround offers includes a comprehensive background check that examines whether the intended tenant has a criminal or police record or a history of criminal violence. As part of the background check, if necessary, his social and family ties will also be checked. At the end of the inspection, a risk assessment will be performed and the conclusions and recommendations will be forwarded to the property owner.
