Tenant Nomads and Hoarders – Precautionary Tenant Screening as a Damage Prevention Measure

Week after week, media reports appear about so-called tenant nomads who vacate rented properties in a night-and-fog operation after months of unpaid rent, with eviction looming. As if that were not enough, property owners often also face a completely dilapidated and thus uninhabitable condition of their hastily abandoned houses or apartments.

That tenant screenings do not guarantee results, and that even celebrities can be hoarder-like residents, was demonstrated by the Dortmund footballer Ousmane Dembélé in 2017, when he returned a house rented from Jürgen Klopp in chaotic condition. Fundamentally, however, a conscientious review of prospective tenants dramatically reduces the risk of taking in a hoarder or tenant nomad, as these are usually repeat offenders. Prevention is the best measure here, since the damage from a tenancy with such a person is not limited to unpaid rent, but mainly includes the cost and effort required, as well as rental loss, to restore the apartment or house.

Solvent or Bankrupt? Safety Nets for Companies

When checking potential business partners, these can be either customers/clients or cooperation partners. Background checks on customers/clients are an important protective measure against payment defaults, whereas deals with cooperation partners who lack solvency, present false liquidity, or conceal debts can even pose an existential threat to your company.

Our experienced Duisburg commercial detectives are able to examine the subjects thoroughly. The insights gained provide important indications as to whether to enter into a business partnership or refrain. We are pleased to inform you in a non-binding initial consultation about the case-specific options.

Precious Metals? Jewellery? Luxury Car? Investigations in Cases of Unclear Assets

For asset investigations, our detectives for Moers, Wesel and throughout NRW are particularly frequently commissioned in connection with maintenance disputes. Once partners live separately, attempts are often made to take advantage of the ex. Valuables and cash suddenly disappear for flimsy reasons, the bank account is said to have been drastically reduced by gambling losses, sudden expenses for caring for sick family members, total vehicle damage, or other alleged reasons — no excuse is too trivial to serve as a cover for assets.

Similar methods are found among debtors. Suppose you hold an enforceable judgement against a debtor, yet they insist they have no attachable assets. Unfortunately, in the hands of the numerous overly complacent court bailiffs in our country, this statement is often sufficient to halt enforcement, as more thorough checks are rarely conducted officially. Yet even if the bailiff carries out their work properly and still finds nothing, this does not necessarily mean that assets have not been concealed. Measures such as emptying accounts, hiding cash, and secretly selling or transferring valuables aim to avoid meeting financial obligations while retaining possession of goods. Based on our information networks and experience, Kurtz Private Detective Agency Duisburg examines suspicious debtors and verifies any concealed assets in a court-admissible manner. The resulting investigation report enables you to assert your claims through legal channels. Please use our contact form or call us non-bindingly at +49 203 3196 0052 for inquiries.
