try lower your asking rent, and pick good tenant...Originally Posted by mcmlxxvi
normally my rent is 15-20% lower than market and i keep rejecting tenants until i find someone good....
end result: less problem/complaints, simple and no-locked-down contracts, less wear and tear, easy collecting rent, (but less $$... )

Hi Ikan bilis..I believe there is a valuable "take-away" from the person's life experience, something that we ought to learn from. I am just wanting to know the person in detail.Originally Posted by ikan bilis

Sorry, this might be a silly question but I hope to know how to avoid bad tenants. Mind to share how do you know whether the tenants are good or not before they stay in? Do you reject them before you see them personally or reject them after you meet them?Originally Posted by ikan bilis

Please do not believe what you "see" in the paper/forum/online.
If it's a male tenant, accidentally touch their ass and see their reaction.Originally Posted by irisng
From there you can gauge the type of person he is.
If it's a female tenant, same tactic applies. LOL
2002-2005 landlord got to be begging tenants,...Originally Posted by irisng
2008-2012 landlord can hantam tenants....
for hdb/residential, me avoid tenants from china/india completely (problems of illegal subletting and etc). And tenant must not be too demanding this and that on first viewing, having decent jobs (must provide me namecards) and come in family kernel even better. I got one local couple as first hdb tenant and taking care of my place very well, but rent i gave them 20-30% below market.
for industrial/office, i do not rent to lady boss (haha, don;t flame me, is pure biz decision hor) and tenant show biz sense (shows "give and take", negotiation are fair and reasonable), decent biz nature and selected some biz place suitable for them.
note:
- heya, all my properties rented out are junk properties at junk locations, can never get prefect tenants type and so all i'm asking is less probematic... better tenants are higher chances in high-end properties
- me got not much skill in picking tenants, is just keep avoiding those problematic types... anything else is pure "LUCK"!!...
- everyone will try to show that they are the perfect tenant during first viewing, try talking to them more and analyse more.
- landlord can give tenant very cheap rent, but that does not mean tenant will take care of your place and doesn;t give you problem everyday !
... welcome to this dog-eat-dog world....
Thanks for sharing. Agree that it really needs luck to get a good tenant.Originally Posted by ikan bilis
