Looking for a tenant of the right mind can be a mountain-climbing task. Property managers have put in place a verification process such as employment verification which should take care of the financial part of the tenancy. There are however other issues that one has to deal with. What if the tenant creates trouble? Laws of the land apply everywhere yet there are situations when things may go beyond control.

To handle such situations, terms and conditions should be put in place in the lease agreement. This lease is signed and agreed upon by both parties. It is important therefore that one reads the fine print before signing. In the event that a problem arises, the tenant should know his rights and responsibilities and be prepared to face the eventuality.

In normal circumstances, the tenant lives in harmony with his neighbours. But once in a while, owners have to deal with unruly tenants who not only disturb the ambience but also create fear in the minds of the others. Rash and drunken brawls, misbehavior, troubling women neighbours, playing loud music that disturbs others at unearthly hours, partying beyond permitted hours, not paying rent on time or even looting the property or having connections with the drug mafia, etc.

The problems are many. How do you deal with such issues?

While sometimes, a warning is enough to get the tenants to behave, at other times, action may have to be taken to keep things under control.

What kind of troubles can be avoided?

The owner has to be a little cautious in allowing people entry into the premises. While in Bangalore there is no system right now to make background checks on the tenant’s previous tenancy, a little more pro-activeness may help.

What if we verified if the tenant has no police records? Trouble with the legal system can be avoided with this step. Though it is no assurance that there will be no trouble in future, it is at least one step towards knowing that the tenant has a clean record with the police.

A strict vigilance may be kept on the building. Any sign of trouble or report from any neighbor should be looked into promptly to avoid any escalation that may turn ugly.

Should tenants note anything unusual, they should report the same to the professional property manager. The mattes which have the potential to turn into something serious should be handled with care and immediacy.

Smaller issues like tenant paying late rent can be discussed and settled. If the reason is not genuine, a case may be made.

In general, there should be policies set in place that everyone is required to follow, such as not playing music in the wee hours of the night and not throwing garbage in undesired places. Certain matters can be handled by the tenants themselves; others may require mediation by the property manager. At times, the trouble may be brewing between the tenants in which case, the property manager may act as the intermediary to settle the dispute.

To summarize, eviction may be necessary if things go out of hand. At other times, the matter may be resolved with discussion and violence is not to be tolerated at any cost. Regular monitoring of the premises for any early signs of trouble may help.
