Hi there,
The idea of us to implement this is to enable us to have records for foreign tenants who are staying at our place. Without the relevant data, it is difficult for us to monitor the the foreign tenants who are renting at our place.
As a matter of fact, when we ask the owners to provide details on their foreign tenants, they wouldn't bother since they don't live here. For them, as long as they're getting the rental and the maintenance fee is paid, rest is least of a concern.
After going thru a turmoil with our previous Management company, we have just established on getting things back on track. Foreigners issues are considered as one of the major thing at our place, as we have had cases of harassment, stalking, extortion, drunk, fighting, threatening, late night party, expired student visa, overstay and even murder attempt. When we look into the percentage of cases that was filed by the residents at our place for the past 1.5 years, a very large number was pointing towards them.
Looking at all this, the thought of implementing this will enable us to have records of their credit checks, status verification & criminal records. It is also viewed from a prospect where if I have nothing to hide, I am confident of a background check. Hence, upon doing the check and results found satisfactory, it would be safe to assume that the foreigners who are staying here are generally acceptable. And in the event of any misconduct, we have details pertaining them if any authority approaches.
For info, this tenant background screening is practiced in many countries such as USA, Canada & The UK for landlords who would want to rent their property especially for an international tenant.
For the local tenants, we have no qualms as we generally do not have any issues in getting their particulars and they are typically cooperative. As such, you can see the need why we would want to implement this for the foreigners who are refusing to provide their actual details.
Talking about immoral, I believe there are many condos out there which are putting up banners saying 'No Africans Allowed', which is blatant racism or coming up with a petition from the fellow residents to stop people renting to foreigners, Africans especially. This is unethical, let alone inhumane.
We were in a dire need to come up with such rules especially since it was a hot topic during the previous AGM. Hence, need your input on how we can go about this.
Thank you
In one of the condos that I own. It is mandatory for all tenants to have a pass card. In the application form we ask for copies of passport with valid visa and letter of employment. If student then student pass. Don’t have the info no pass card - cannot enter. For locals a copy of IC. So far no complaints at all.The idea of us to implement this is to enable us to have records for foreign tenants who are staying at our place.
