Backgound check- In Canada and US

Tenant Screening, Landlord Screening, Online Tenant Screening, Tenant Screening Checks, and Tenant Screening Credit Checks

Information accessible to every landlord

This blog is the result of countless hours of research over the internet. We have tried to put together some of the services that you as a landlord would need.. Criminal and Credit check, free advertising of your property, Collection agency, Security cameras, legal forms, informational web site for each of the states in the US and in Canada to cover all the laws concerning Landlord and Tenants, etc. Each week I will try to add more and more useful information that applies to landlords. I have rental property in both the US and Canada. Read about my nightmare tenant and you'll see why it is important to follow all the steps. Taking the time now, will eliminate future financial headaches. I will post as many tips to help you out as I can. There is nothing like a nightmare tenant to motivate a landlord to put the case on the internet. After winning my case against this tenant I decided to make my case public. Although I won, I still cannot collect my overdue rent and legal fees in excess of $12,000,-- In addition I put the amounts owed through small claims court and only claimed $10,000. This amount will forever be in his file. The important issue, we were able to evict him. Nothing worse than a tenant who is not paying and you unable to evict him. Read my story and you'll see why.

Does the Landlord have legal access to a Tenant's apartment?

1.5.3 Can the landlord show the rental unit when the tenant is not at home?

If the landlord complies with the rules given in the answer above, the landlord can show the rental unit when the tenant is not at home.

1.5.4 What can the tenant do if the landlord enters illegally?

If a landlord does not follow these rules, a tenant can contact a Residential Tenancy Branch office to help resolve the dispute. If the dispute goes to dispute resolution and the dispute resolution officer believes the landlord may continue to enter the rental unit illegally, the tenant may be allowed to change the locks and keep the only keys. The tenant must give the landlord the keys when they move out. If the tenant does not do so, the landlord can deduct the cost of changing the locks from the security deposit with the tenant's permission or a dispute resolution officer's order.

1.5.5 Can a tenant change the locks?

Tenants must not change the locks without the landlord's permission or without a dispute resolution officer's order.
If an emergency occurs when the tenant is not at home and the door cannot be opened, the landlord or emergency personnel may remove the door.
