The profit for rental and leasing business mainly lies on the collection proceeds from the renters. Hence, if the renters would not be able to pay on time, it may have consequential effects on the entire business operations of the property owner. For sure, for those property owners whose rented properties are still under mortgage, then it would really be a big problem because they too will not be able to pay their amortizations on time. Hence, instead of acquiring maximum profit, charges would be incurred since delayed monthly amortizations results to effecting interests.
It is therefore imperative that in this rental and leasing business, one projective indicator for its success or failure is the selection of renters. A lessor should be able to pre-qualify his potential renters prior to actual consummation of contract. This means that for the security of the property owner, he must be able to establish that the potential renter must be a GOOD renter to avoid complications and financial mishaps. But how do we really choose good potential renters?
Good potential renters are those who know their responsibilities in terms of property management and management of financial obligations.
The main essence of the property rental business is the fact that a property owner allows a renter to occupy, develop and maintain a piece of real property in exchange of a sum of money over time. It goes without saying, therefore, that the rental business is a trust business. More than the money that is earned from the rental activity, the essence of entrusting something valuable (in this case a piece of property) to a stranger is very costly and dangerous. It is a big risk on the part of the property owner.
Hence, all potential renters must undergo a certain background investigation, to ensure that he is qualified to undertake the full responsibility of maintaining the upkeep and order of the property. The investigation should include how he conducts his activities, attitude and lifestyle; they should all be in accordance with the law and bounds of moral standards.
Parallel to property management is financial obligation management. Rental and leasing activities are bounded with contracts with corresponding cost in every legal contract. The contract clearly stipulates the cost of occupancy of the renter within a period of time. It is expected that such payment must be delivered on time at all times and at all cost. Therefore, violation of such would constitute corresponding additional interest and charges.
With the advent of the on-going economic downtrend, a growing number of individuals are not able to meet most of their financial obligations. Though, the situation these individuals are in are concretely understandable, but then it is a business that needs to be fuelled by cash.
It is therefore imperative that as property owners, one should carefully select his potential renters that he has the capacity to pay over time, specifically in during the period of lease. As the business owner, he should be able to establish that his debt load, including his rental amortization for the property can still be covered with his present income.
The individual’s capacity, therefore, must be another pre-qualification criterion for GOOD renters.
In summary, generally there are only two (2) things which can characterize as good renter: he must be both good property and financial manager.
