Choosing the right tenant not only determines the atmosphere in the building, but also the security of income. Landlords who take a planned approach protect themselves against rent losses, conflicts and frequent tenant changes. A systematic approach helps to find reliable and suitable tenants.
Check creditworthiness - but legally clean
Self-disclosure, proof of salary and a current credit report are standard when selecting tenants. Landlords may request this data - but must also treat it confidentially. It is important to only request information that is directly related to the tenancy.
A personal conversation brings clarity
In addition to the documents, the impression made during the interview also counts: Is the potential tenant reliable, honest and communicative? If you have several applicants, you should also look for likeability and long-term interest in addition to creditworthiness - this avoids subsequent changes or conflicts.
Use references and emphasize house rules
References from previous landlords can provide information about payment behavior and conduct. Also useful: a brief reference to the house rules or existing regulations in the building. This allows you to clarify at an early stage whether the ideas on both sides are compatible.
Conclusion
Careful tenant selection is the key to a relaxed tenancy. Landlords who proceed in a legally correct manner, take personal impressions into account and create clear framework conditions can benefit in the long term.
