Rental Property Certification Program From CheckYourLandlord.com Provides Independent 3rd Party Protection for Tenants and Property Managers
The CheckYourLandlord.com Certified Property Verification Seal Provides Renters With Assurance That the Property and Its Owners Have Been Independently Investigated, Reducing Risks for Both Tenants and Property Managers
(firmenpresse) - DENVER, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/24/12 -- The home rental sector is one of the brightest
spots in the U.S. housing market, and forecasts indicate that this trend
will continue in 2012, particularly in the single-family segment. As
homeowners have been turned into renters due to the housing crisis, the
profile of the average U.S. tenant has shifted. Renters today are more
likely to be older and have families than in the past, and often prefer
single family or duplex/triplex style properties to large apartment
complexes. The profile of the landlord has been shifting as well, with
more "accidental landlords" entering the market with little or no
experience as rental property owners, and with shakier financial standing
than the typical multi-family dwelling investor.
These shifts have brought new risks to the market. The increased demand
for high quality rentals has brought an increase in reports of rental
scams. Prospective tenants are rightfully concerned about the identity of
the landlord or property manager showing them a property. Financially
unstable property owners are often collecting rent while defaulting on
their mortgage. When a tenant-occupied property enters foreclosure,
difficulties ensue for the renter, property manager, and new owner.
The CheckYourLandlord.com Certified Properties program was developed to
address these market realities. Property managers and owners can apply to
have their property certified through CheckYourLandlordPRO. The
certification process involves verification of the legal ownership of the
property, a check for notices of default against the property and other
properties with common ownership, and a review of the owner's bankruptcy
history, past civil judgments, and criminal records. A property that
passes CheckYourLandlord.com's requirements to qualify as a "low risk"
rental, earns the CheckYourLandlord.com Certified Properties seal. This
seal can be used to enhance rental listings online and in print, attracting
high quality tenants. A property-specific page on the
CheckYourLandlord.com website allows the public to verify the authenticity
of the seal.
