Non compliant, rude and arrogant tenant
At the time of screening, he had a credit score of around 600-615. 94% time on-time payment and one collection. I took a risk as this tenant has a family. Tenant was more than willing to get into the property(as he gave holding deposit even before seeing the property in-person). Mine is a brand new single family home in a very growing area so it's very much in demand.
Unfortunately within 1 month, enough things has happened with this rental, like
1.Tenant is plain simple rude/arrogant in tone, expect all their problems to be fixed by me(i called the electricity company to get connection in their name, called city to get water/trash/sewage in their name. Tenant was expecting that i should pay for all the utilities even when it's clearly mentioned in the lease.
2.Not following lease and have at least 10+ violations in very first month.
3.When repairs has to happen expect contractors to come on weekend or during late evening only so contractors are not happy either.
4. Making calls after 8:30 pm for trivial issues.
5. Neighbors and HOA also complained to me about the tenant.
In the past, when i tried calling the previous landlord(high rise multifamily residential)-nobody responded to my voice mails. Employer gave above average feedback.
Though tenant is paying rent on time but overall attitude is an issue. What can i do? Tolerate the tenant till the lease get over?
How I can put this in the rental history of the tenant so that this high maintenance tenant become reasonable and doesn't behave like this with any future landlord?
Can landlord provide inputs to some tenant's rental history? How?
