Q:I would like to share my experience of a bad tenant in Pune. This person whose name was Baburao Vhankol was a tenant in my flat in Pune. He appeared honest, but turned out to be a cheater person. The deposit was agreed for 50000 Rs. He paid 20000 by cash and remaining 30000 by cheque. To my surprise the cheque bounced and thereafter since the initial 20000 he did not pay me anything. He fooled around and simply stayed free in my flat. Whenever payment asked he would create a scene that he is in deep trouble, hit badly in business or so on. This is to make all readers aware of such white collared cheating people and not to do any property related dealings with them. Before giving your flat on rent strictly ask for previous landlord references and do some additional verification from your end. Never handover the keys unless full deposit and at least first month payment is received.
Latest Answer: Hi Vikas, I am agree with you. The first part of verifying a prospective tenants income is to request the appropriate documentation from them. You can also ask for 2 or 3 months salary slip. This payslip will list the pay begin and end date, so you can use it to determine the tenents weekly, monthly and yearly income.
