MULLICA HILL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ezLandlordForms.com, the dominant web site for owners, agents, and property managers who self-manage rentals, expanded tenant background check services to offer Eviction Reports. Review court records to minimize leasing risks.
Along with providing background checks and online leases for landlords and property managers across the U.S. and Canada, ezLandlordForms is the go-to source for investment property management education.
Evicting non-paying tenants can cost thousands and take months. It’s illegal for landlords to take ejection into their own hands. They must rely on court proceedings to reclaim possession, and may still have to file claims to recover damages. That makes it critical to know all potential risks before approving a new tenant.
ezLandlordForms Eviction Reports include eviction warrants, judgements for possession and rent money, failure to pay rent filings, unlawful detainers, and other eviction-related filings.
“The most important parts of renting a property are screening, to choose the right tenant, and creating a written lease. Certainly, the more information you have on an applicant, the better decision you can make. If you know an applicant’s credit and criminal history, as well as their eviction history, you can use that knowledge to help choose the best tenant,” said J. Kevin Kiene, President, ezLandlordForms.
Screening through ezLandlordForms takes the burden off landlords to properly secure sensitive information. Only an applicant’s name and email address are needed for a screening. Completed reports are available to landlords within minutes.
Traditionally, landlords had to collect an applicant’s social security number; obtain written authorization to view records; and collect a screening fee before ordering a background report. ezLandlordForms handles all that, and takes the extra step to verify an applicant’s identity. Information is highly secured in the tenant screening process. The credit check is only a soft hit on applicants’ credit, and won’t affect their credit scores.
ezLandlordForms.com was launched in 2006 by J. Kevin Kiene to supply online property management forms, rental applications and tenant screening. Residential and commercial lease agreements, tenant and eviction notices, and property management forms may be customized, and forms populate with saved property and tenant data. State and province required disclosures and addenda are automatically included.
