Attention: Mr. Ron Boston, President
Dear Mr. Boston: |
|
I just thought that I should share our thoughts with you regarding
our early experiences with the TenChek service. |
|
Our property management company was one of the first to join TenChek
in Canada. We manage approximately 1,000 apartments in Halifax, NS and
realized the need for the type of information offered by TenChek. As
you know there has never been an effective deterrent in the rental industry
for those who do not live up to the lease agreements. There is only
tenant protection offered by provincial tenancy legislation. |
|
When we first joined TenChek in September/99 we were aware that
the data base of tenant information would be lean, but because the initial
data was collected in bulk, we also knew that it wouldn't be long before
we were able to access some valuable data from the system. |
|
Not long after joining we sent a letter to all our current tenants
advising them of our joining TenChek and that their tenancy had been
entered into the TenChek national data base. We acknowledged that all
tenants "arrive in good standing" and we hoped that they would "leave
in good standing". They were also given a copy of the TenChek Activity
Codes so they were aware of what could be entered into the data base
about their tenancy. I have enclosed a copy of our tenant letter for
your perusal. |
|
The net effect was the negative departures started to drop along
with the bad debt write off bills. |
|
We are delighted to be members of TenChek and highly recommend
the TenChek System to any landlord or property manager who cares about
their bottom line. |
|
Yours Truly,
Harold Marryatt
President
