Screening of Prospective Tenants by the Aaden Detectives Cologne

In long-term tenancy agreements, whose total value can amount to tens of thousands of euros, the details provided by a prospective tenant should be checked by a detective agency before signing the contract. The damage caused by rental losses, reminder fees and court costs can quickly exceed the cost of an investigation.

Solvent Tenants or Rental Nomads?

In recent years, landlords have increasingly complained about the poor payment discipline of their tenants. On the one hand, this is due to the still relatively high unemployment rate in Cologne and the associated financial difficulties of tenants; on the other hand, landlords are increasingly becoming victims of rental fraud by so-called “rental nomads”. The property owners’ association Haus & Grund estimates around 12,000 cases nationwide each year, with damages ranging between 2,500 and 20,000 euros in 90 per cent of cases. Around one third of all landlords become victims of rental fraud. In view of this, it is surprising that many landlords still fail to obtain information about prospective tenants before signing a contract.

The standard SCHUFA credit report says little about the reliability and behaviour of a potential tenant. The corporate detectives of the Aaden Detective Agency Cologne, on the other hand, carry out comprehensive checks on your rental applicant and thus significantly reduce your risk of financial loss.
