Sarasota Property Managers Offer Solemn Warning
Property owners who self-manage need to be especially vigilant in their tenant screening practices according to Sarasota property managers, Real Property Management of Sarasota & Manatee.
There are a certain class of tenants that purposely avoids professional Sarasota property managers and seeks out do-it-yourself landlords. They do this, because they know that their chances of being able to work their scams are exponentially reduced when applying for a rental through a professional Sarasota property manager.
What the best Sarasota property manager will always do before signing a lease and allowing a tenant to move in:
- Never accept a personal check for deposits, or move-in costs.
- Never allow a tenant to move-in, or store items on the premises, until the lease start date, and after all funds have cleared.
- Always complete a criminal background check on ALL occupants 18 years old and older.
- Always obtain a credit report for ALL occupants 18 years old and older.
- Always complete an eviction search for ALL occupants 18 years old and older.
