Requalify tenants for a renewal?

Question

Michaela G. · Answer

If tenants have been paying their rent, then I would not requalify them. In fact, as a tenant, I'd be sort of offended, if my landlord would ask me to do that again, when I've proven that I stand by my word.

To date I have not. If there actions (not paying rent, being late, a nuicenance so forth), illustrate an issue for renewal, I simply don't renew. To date I personally have never done anything but send at a renewal notice or non-renwal notice.

on the boat with everyone here, as long as they've been cooperative, and paying the rent on time, there's no need..if they've been giving me problems, i just won't offer the renewal of the lease, and give them their 30 days notice when their lease is up!

Hello Steven,

This is a great question. Whenever I have tenants renew a lease, I do not normally have them reapply. There are a few times I might want to check things out again. For example, if they add a new tenant, I would have just the new tenant go through a background check. If they had a cosigner and are interested in removing them, I might recheck their credit report and see if they improved.

Other than that, as long as they have been good tenants, and you want to renew with them, I do not see a reason to spend them time rechecking them. As long as you feel comfortable with them, go ahead and have them resign!

I agree with @Michaela G. There is no reason to re-qualify an existing tenant if they have good rent history with you.
