Would you use a bad tenants database?

I think there ought to be something like that in Canada and in the U.S.

Bad Renters Database

No because there would be no way to be sure anything reported was accurate. Just as many bad landlords out there as tenants. Someone will get their panties in a wad & make a false report.

Getting court records and doing a proper background check does the same thing. Landlords that get scammed renting to habitual bad tenants are ones that fail to do a proper screening.

"The database ignores court take down orders and simply moves to countries where they can ignore the court orders." Then it would be illegal to use in the countries that do have those laws. Landlords would open themselves up to get sued.

If bad renters were that big of a problem then people would not invest in rental property.

Yes there are bad tenants who are scam artists. They are far ans few between.

I don't see anyone paying to use your database because the probability of getting a "hit" on a bad tenant is too low.

You would have problems with slander, libel and privacy here. Here the prospective tenant has to assent to the legal, credit, employment and background checks, can they do it with you? How would you verify the information?

Are they a worse tenant if they brought in a pet, or had a friend who murdered her spouse. It's an interesting concept and might work in a small city but the costs would be prohibitive.

if the tenants left owing money or causing damage, owners should take them to court and place n unlawful detaier and past due amounts on their criminal and credit checks. This is how I find out about bad tenatns.

In your scenario, how will you make sure everything posted is truth and not a vindictive landlord . How will you react to tenants on the list suing you for defamation if you dont verify eveyrthing.

In America credit score and renting history is basically what allows people to rent and what places would accept them. Some places won't accept people with bad credit (which means that they haven't been wise in their investments and money spending, so somewhere along the line they missed payments on any credit cards or banks or missed payments for rent), and then places also call places that people have rented from before for their opinion on the renters to see if they'd want them there (like for if they had been loud and annoying or something that won't show on credit history).

So really what you're suggesting already exists...
