I live in a nice south end subdivision in Barrie.
My neighbour used this company to rent out a basement apartment. They rented it to drug dealers/users because they had jobs.
They would throw used needles over the fence into my back yard and have people coming and going from the place continuously at all hours of the day and night. I had Crack heads wondering into my back yard at night instead of theirs because they were so high and tried to go to the wrong house. There were constant domestics, yelling, swearing, smell of drugs etc.
From what I understand these people were forced to leave other places that they rented in the past and had a history of not being wanted where ever they went and had regular encounters with police.
Tenant screening needs to consist of more then just "they have income and should be able to pay".
When you use a company to find good tenants, that company should be checking with previous landlords and their neighbors to see if there were issues. It's not all about money....
My family just went through months of hell with safety concerns for ourselves and children because this company only checked for income.
I'm also a landlord and will never consider using this company to locate someone for my properties after this experience.
This company owes the entire neighborhood an apology.
Many neighbours including myself had to spend money putting up security cameras, leaving exterior lights on all night, adding locks to the gates etc...
