Lois S. Update Tenant Credit Info during occupancy?
24 October 2015 | 1 reply
So if they are paying you timely and not causing problems, I am actually less concerned if they have a consumer debt or ratio issue or (many tenants prioritize rent, for example).....As to impacting a current tenancy, I think you would not be able to let a change in the employment or credit profile impact the current tenancy, but perhaps it could be useful if they were moving to another unit of yours after a promotion (maybe more expensive to see if they can cover it) or, again, looking to renew and it is coming towards then end of the tenancy and you want to check if all is well before offering a renewal.Finally, note the wording here on employment and income, as it seems to skirt around Fair Credit Reporting, but I think you have a valid business reason here should you go there  .... but your wording does just sound like a simple follow up employment/income verification not credit check.... which I suspect may be prudent for any landlord to check regarding a future decision (like renewing, but again, you could not go back and impact an existing lease based on it)...

If so, then the LLC can be a good place to start, even before you've built the rest of the business entity structure you'll need to provide the best protection.In the business credit case, consider that lenders like to to see at least one year in business before they will consider lending to your entity.
Darrian Whitford HELP!!!!! 1st time section 8 landlord
25 June 2016 | 6 replies
(No sense wasting your time/money screening someone who doesn't even have their voucher yet, in my opinion.)If everything checks out and you want them to be your tenant, you can then fill out the Request for Tenancy Approval form and submit it to the Housing Authority along with the other owner information papers (i.e. owner verification form, disclosure form, pre-inspection checklist, etc).After that, the Housing Authority will inspect the unit and you're good to go.
