Tenant Watch
For landlords and Tenants

Overdue, disputed or unpaid rent is a frustrating waste of money and time. Shark Patrol gives you in-depth information in one place so you can make informed decisions and hopefully avoid bad Tenants.

Credit check potential Tenants

Our simple, fast and inexpensive Shark Patrol credit check tells you all the key things you need to know about a prospective Tenant. Other members, former landlords, may hold information that could save you a lot of frustration, OR provide the key to a successful Tenancy. For example:

Does your new tenant have a history of "Doing a runner" or "Trashing the place"?
Do they have a history of "Falling behind" in the rent?
Do they keep the property well maintained?
Do they cause problems with other neighbours?
Would you take them back as tenant in the future?

The check is FREE unless the customer has an adverse rating from another Shark Patrol member and even then you pay only one fee per company.

Tenant Watch

With Tenant Watch you can now monitor your Tenant/s continuously and be alerted immediately to any changes that increase the risk of you not being paid, or that they are about to do a runner.

Scenario one: You have your Tenant on Tenant Watch. They are up-to-date with the rent. All is well, and then another member lists an adverse report for an unpaid debt, providing an early warning of a potential problem. Should this Tenant then fall behind in the rent, you are more likely to act sooner and more firmly then if you did not know of other outstanding debts - and of course you get to talk with the other member/s to be fully informed.

Scenario two: you have your Tenant listed on Tenant Watch and / or rated them adversly because they are behind in rent; and / or you have lodged a 10-Day Notice or Tenancy Tribunal Order. Your Tenant applies for tenancy with another landlord, who happens to also be a member of Shark Patrol. This member duly checks them out on Tenant Watch to see your Red Flag. Thus this member is aware of a potential problem, you receive information of a potential new address for service.

The network that collectively identifies problem Tenants

Traditional Debt Collection, Credit Control and Debtor Information agencies issue credit checks and credit ratings, whereas Shark Patrol members talk directly with other members, because Shark Patrol members share with the network all their experiences of their customers, good and bad, enabling you to make the right business decisions on a day-to-day basis.

Place your Tenants of Tenant Watch and let the power of the network keep you informed of potential problems.

With your Tenant/s on Tenant Watch you will receive alerts any time:

another member reports a problem
there is a change of status on the Companies Office register - Company, director or shareholder
if they appear on the Insolvancy and Trustee Service register - Insolvancy and Bankruptcy etc
