Aaron Bellmore • May 15, 2023

As a rental property investor in Grande Prairie, one of your top priorities is be finding quality tenants. After all, the success of our investors investments hinges on having reliable and responsible tenants who will pay their rent on time, take care of the property, and follow the terms of their lease agreement. At Fresh Coast Investments, we understand the importance of tenant screening and have a thorough process in place to ensure that we attract and select the best possible tenants for our properties.


Here are some of the reasons why tenant screening is so crucial for rental property investors:

  1. Lower Risk of Eviction: By screening potential tenants thoroughly, you can identify any red flags that may indicate a higher risk of eviction. This could include a history of late payments or prior evictions, criminal activity, or poor credit history. By avoiding these types of tenants, you can lower your risk of costly and time-consuming eviction proceedings.
  2. Reduced Property Damage: Quality tenants are more likely to take care of the property and report any maintenance issues in a timely manner. This can help prevent small issues from becoming larger and more expensive problems down the road.
  3. Better Rent Collection: When you have reliable tenants who pay their rent on time, you can ensure a steady stream of income from your rental property. Screening tenants for their income and employment history can help you identify those who are more likely to be financially stable and able to meet their rent obligations.
  4. Long Term sustainability: When you screen for good tenants the success of your property long term goes up. You will generate better reviews, have people renew their leases, and have a great rental property for the community.


At Fresh Coast Investments, we take tenant screening seriously. We have a thorough process in place that includes verifying employment and income, running a credit check, and conducting criminal background checks. We also check references from previous landlords to get a sense of the tenant's past behavior and reliability. We work hard to keep our investors asset secure.


By using a comprehensive tenant screening process, we're able to attract and select the best possible tenants for our properties in Grande Prairie. This helps us ensure that our investors' properties are well-maintained and that they receive a steady stream of rental income. If you're an investor looking for profitable, done for you, rental properties we may be just what you're looking for.
