Renting to family members may not be a good idea as an elderly couple found out when they had to force an eviction. The eviction process is never fun especially when it is your own family members you have to kick out. For any landlord or property manager the eviction process is usually expensive and puts a drain on a property in regards to financial loss, property damage and reputation damage. It is important that both landlord and renter understand local, state and federal laws concerning the eviction process prior to signing a lease. No matter the circumstance the eviction process is never easy for the landlord or tenant. This is why it is especially important for a landlord or property manager to use a professional third party tenant screening company to run tenant checks prior to leasing. Thorough and accurate tenant checks can significantly reduce evictions for a given property.
