Cost of Bad Tenants

Common problems with bad tenants

1. Nonpayment of rent
Late or missed payments can severely damage a property owner’s financial health. Some of the most common reasons tenants withhold rent are cash flow problems, short-term unemployment, or disagreements over renovation and maintenance issues.

2. Disruption to neighbors
Using Three Pentacles tenant screening services can help you avoid renting to bad tenants. If bed tenant’s actions and behavior negatively affect their neighbors, it may prevent others from enjoying their homes. As a result of that you may loose good tenants, who simply decide to move out.

3. Illegal use of your property
Another big problem is tenants engaging in illegal activities, such as using or selling drugs on your property, or other criminal activities that can bring unwanted and undesirable visitors to the property.

4. Breaking rules
Often, tenants break the rules by hosting loud parties, inviting long-term guests, parking extra vehicles on the property, or even using things like sheets as curtains. As a result, your property becomes physically less attractive and can even develop a shabby reputation, affecting your ability to attract well-qualified, reputable tenants in the future.

5. Destruction of your property
Bad tenants often cause significant costs to the landlord by causing damage before leaving. There have been cases of serious damage such as floods or fires caused by bad tenants, effectively destroying the unit or the entire building.
