Our pre-rental inquiry surveys are unique, complete and detailed!
Before beginning our detailed explanations on our pre-rental inquiry survey services and on the credit file sheet, the first step is to understand the definition of a “good tenant” and the origin of the word “credit” in a tenant’s credit report.
What’s a good tenant?
The definition of a good tenant may vary from owner to owner. Whether you are a real estate owner of multi-unit housing or a single rental housing. This definition is often established by owners (landlords) according to their needs, their goals, their perceptions, their experiences and stories lived or heard by other owners in the past during a visit to a rented accommodation.
Now, according to us, and for your rental apartments agency for rent bonslocataires.com, we have regrouped the basic needs of owners of rental housings in order to find the best, simple and legal definition of a good tenant or good tenants. Here is The winning formula for finding good tenants after conducting a pre-rental inquiry survey and analyzing a credit report.
Formula: P + P + P = GPT
Payer + Peaceful + Proper = Good Profitable Tenant !
A good profitable tenant must be a very good Payer, he pays his rent on the 1st day of the month or even before. He must be Peaceful in his abode in order to procure to the other tenants, occupants and neighbours of the building a peaceful enjoyment of the rented premises. And most importantly, he must keep his dwelling as Proper as possible to keep the market value of your investment, of your rental housing stock. It is essential to identify the 3Ps when you are doing a pre-rental inquiry survey and analyzing a credit file sheet of a potential tenant before signing a lease of the Régie du logement “Housing Tribunal”. Our rental agency carefully analyzes for you each credit file of the tenants, credit reports and we carry out all the pre-rental surveys of the tenants before renting your apartments and especially before legally qualifying the renters as good tenants.
Finding simple tenants is very easy and above all, it’s free on several rental platforms and traditional rental apartments sites. No regular free rental site will guarantee the quality of your tenants. That’s why they’re always free. At bonslocataires.com, we guarantee you good tenants and we are proud to be amongst the only ones in the industry to get Zero, rental fraud.

When you have good profitable tenants, payer, peaceful and proper, you greatly minimize the problems with your tenants and maximize your rental property investment. The desire to continue investing in multi-unit housing real estate will be felt in you.
In a credit report, what does the word credit mean?
According to Wikipedia the etymology of the term credit (Past participle from Latin: “Credere”, believe) recalls that the transaction is based on the creditor’s belief that the debtor will be able to pay his debt at maturity. The creditor is therefore “the one who trusts” a debtor.
In other words, the term credit will mean for an owner who investigates a tenant “I believe what you say”
Do the whisker pads follow your potential tenant’s boots?
Before believing what your tenant tells you, get his credit report checked first by our expert agency in rental housing.
The credit survey file is the first step that we rigorously check for our clients, the owners of rental housing. We will advise you and guide you through every step of the way.
Renting a housing emotionally versus rationally
Renting an apartment emotionally will most likely give you negative and emotional results. We strongly advise against this rental practice. A landlord who does not conduct a pre-rental inquiry survey or a credit survey of his future tenants greatly maximizes the risk of conflicts with his tenants. It involves a total downgrading of sound property management. This same owner also seriously maximizes his chances of visiting the Régie du logement “Housing Tribunal”. He also embarks upon the loss of his last good tenants he has left in his rental property.
Therefore, renting a housing to a good tenant in a professional, rational way and above all without forgetting to carry out pre-rental surveys and credit file checks, will give you remarkable peace of mind and more importantly, be financially profitable.
Our pre-rental inquiry surveys are the most complete with supporting evidence, we don’t let anything go!
We are proud to be the only rental apartments website with Zero, Rental Fraud, both for tenants and landlords. Our powerful domain name bonslocataires.com makes for us a very first sorting to the entry on our tenants’ clientele. The question arises: am I a good tenant? Everyone is good, until proven otherwise. The opposite will have to be proven through a full pre-rental survey.
Our tenant clients then go through a telephone interview to better understand their rental needs. Subsequently, a 360-degree virtual guided tour is required on our famous YouTube channel, thereafter a real tour of the apartment for rent takes place with the tenant as well as in the presence of our rental expert agent. We also have the most complete rental application form on the market, to better qualify your next tenant, our rental application form has 3 pages. We will first investigate the tenant’s credit file. A rental references check will then be carried out, by making sure to contact the real owners. For the current employment references or the tenant’s jobs, we make sure to speak to human resources or the business owner. If there are cases in court for the tenant (the civilian and the criminal), we have an information officer directly at the Montreal Courthouse. We conduct research on the tenant’s files with the Housing Tribunal and for newcomers, we make sure to have a solvable endorser with an excellent credit record; we also ask for further documents and evidence of their status as immigrants to Canada. Further relevant research will also be carried out on all tenants.
At the time of the signing of the lease, all the physical file containing the results of the pre-rental survey as well as the tenant’s credit file will be presented to you with detailed explanations and it will be given to you by hand with all the supporting evidence of our carefully completed work. Our most complete pre-rental surveys on the real estate market in Quebec may include on average fifteen pages or more, per tenant surveyed.
The primary aim of conducting a pre-rental survey as well as a verification with the credit bureau, as well as the tenant’s credit report, is to minimize the financial risk of the owner-investor (non-payment of rent) as well as to avoid behavioral and cleanliness issues of your potential tenant in your rental housing. As a good landlord, you must at all times provide the peaceful enjoyment of the premises to all your tenants in addition to enjoying a sound property management profitable for you.
Prevention is better than cure but most of all do not take the risk of losing everything because of a bad choice of tenant that can cost you thousands of dollars of lost time at the Régie du logement “Housing Tribunal” and especially harm your personal health!
