In Yakima Washington there is an entire apartment building purportedly filled with bad tenants. The police were visiting the Mesa Apartments in Yakima every day due to constant complaints. The problem boiled down to poor tenant screening efforts possibly caused by the apartment management taking short cuts in the vetting process in desperation to achieve higher occupancy. The police are now working with the new property manager on proper tenant screening techniques to help them avoid renting to problem tenants. As always, running a thorough tenant background check prior to leasing is always a good idea that always pays off in the long run… Unfortunately the temptation of short term occupancy gains still lures in amateur landlords and property managers.
