I would wait until I could talk with the building manager to find what kind of tenant he`s been. I`d also phone his landlord previous to his present one, who will have no qualms about telling you all the details, superb to sordid.
In December with fewer tenants looking, it`s tempting to not do all your homework on tenant screening, only to realize when they`ve moved in you`ve made a big and often costly mistake. I`ve been there! I ended up getting the bailiff one time to get a tenant out that I rented to on Dec 15.
For me, it`s a red flag that the main office has no record of him giving notice. Wait until you find out for sure if he hasn`t given notice. If does that to them, he may pull the same on you.
Good luck,
Margaret
I called a prospective tenant`s references today then proceeded to call his current landlord of 7 months. It is Mainstreet management. They tell me no notice has been given. The actual building manager wasmoving today so i had to call head office. Is it possible that the paperwork hasn`t been forwarded yet? Are they trying not to lose a client? How worried should I be? Decline his application?
For reference his current employer loves him and WILL cosign if i need him to...
