Tenant Screening - Better selection mean stable rent-rolls.
If own or manage a rental property, you know how important it is to know your tenants. We perform searches such as Background checks, eviction records, fraud detection reports, criminal reports, sex offender database searches, terrorist searches, credit checks.
Do you have rent-controlled properties? Is someone other than your tenant living in the apartment? With prices for rent-controlled apartments are so far below fair market value, some tenants are willing to do anything to hold onto them. Instead of using it as their primary residence, as the law dictates, your rent-stabilized property is now a part-time residence. Or has it been quietly turned over to a relative or friend of the tenant. The problem is proving it. That’s where Sentry Protection excels. Our rent control investigators, highly-trained data research experts and certified public accountants discreetly investigate the validity of your tenants’ primary residency claims and provide documented proof for those who are violating the rent stabilization law
