Screening for commercial tenants

Kai G.
Posted

Hiya,

I'm renting individual rooms in an office suite. The tenants are professionals in the beauty and wellness space. They each operate through their own (small) companies. I have never screened, and have recently had some bad experiences with tenants not paying and breaking leases. I'm wondering if I can screen these people as individuals and use the "data" from a background check by Zillow or others in my decision making process. I would think you can draw parallels between personal financial responsibility and that of the person's business. Of course if the background check come back with anything criminal I will use that as a disqualifier. What do you all think?
