Is it your assumption or you can support it by evidence?heynayjk wrote: ↑ References can be easily faked. They can just provide a reference to a friend who pretends to be a landlord. You as a private individual cannot place record into a tenants credit history. Lastly even if you get a judgement for unpaid rent, it's almost impossible to collect unless you know the specific branch the tenant has their bank account or their employer.
In other words, you're f'ed as a landlord.
Lawyers and realtors can easily check who is on title of that property. There are also multiple psychological workarounds to make indirect verification during the call.
I never tried to place debt record(public complaint record) because I never had such a bad tenant, but as far as I know, nothing prevents you from doing it, if record is identified. All you need is some time, and some paperwork that proves that debt exists.
Most people cannot place such record because record was NOT identified and they cannot provide SIN, date of birth, address on the record etc.
That is the whole idea of checking credit history actually...Don't tell me you are interested if applicant pays his line of credit on time....
