Why You Still Need Eviction Support, Even with good vetting
“ Even with rigorous tenant screening, things can go south,” says. Xpello founder & CEO Elize le Roux.“ Default happens. Economic stress, job losses, even deliberate fraud, landlords need a clear path to reclaim their property and income.”
In fact, Xpello reports that in 98 % of cases, the moment they intervene( usually after a breach letter is issued), tenants either pay up or vacate voluntarily avoiding a drawn-out legal process altogether.
The Three Pillars of Rental Risk Protection
Whether you’ re a landlord or a rental agent, there are three nonnegotiables for minimising exposure to tenant risk: no strategy ever could.
1. Thorough Tenant Vetting
• Use comprehensive application forms.
• Perform credit checks and employer verification.
• Check rental history and references.
• Conduct in-person interviews where possible.
“ Placing a poor-rated tenant just to avoid a vacancy often costs months in lost rent and property damage,” says Armand Nel Chief Operating Officer of Xpello.“ Proper vetting is your first line of defense.”
