- This is one of most important step as landlord cannot and shouldn't rely on Speedhome for filter/vetting. Yes they have insurance but if tenants thrash the house, it will take landlord a lot of efforts to refurbish the house. Ask the questions and if not comfortable with profile, just reject them.
Wish Speedhome all the best hopefully they can come out better and stronger to serve a vibrant and fair rental market.
Btw, regarding vetting of tenants, its absolutely true about always taking charge of your own vetting and interview.Wish Speedhome all the best hopefully they can come out better and stronger to serve a vibrant and fair rental market.
Story time!
End of 2022, I was given a potential tenant from speedhome who represents a company. I asked for and received the IDs for the 2 tenants that will be staying.
One ID was a a doctored passport with fake expiry numbers on it. (apparently their photoshop skill cacat)
So after some back and forth, I asked for proper documentation, and they later gave me a printed (IIRC) UNHCR registration request form. I said thats just a registration form to register as a refugee, not an actual ID. I eventually rejected this tenant due to insufficient tenant ID.
I was abit disappointment at Speedhome for that experience, but in the end I do believe landlords should always check themselves and dont hold it againts Speedhome.
But I did think it odd they asked if I wanted to continue with said company... I believe it was in a voice call I asked back if Speedhome is comfortable to be a party in rental transactions to house foreigners without legal identification (and presumably no stay/work permit).
TLDR
Absolutely scrutinize all documents and interview the tenants, local or otherwise.
