Property Market Sentiments

[gzbkel]

One extra expense that my family experienced: Tenant who did not pay rent and refused to move for months, requiring multiple lawyer letters.

So do you manage to collect the balance rents or written off as bad experience ? Will the tenant be able to continue the same "trick" on others ...

Written off as bad experience. We kept the deposit, but not enough to cover arrears.
He used many delaying tactics. Like promising to pay next month, or son has exam period, etc.
Not sure if he is still renting now.

I think there should be some kind of central database where we can check historical records of how timely a tenant pay his rent in the past. Or allow landlords to check the credit score of prospective tenants.
