(eTradeWire.Org) – While the recession is officially over and the housing market is showing small signs of recovery the banks are still cautious over lending which is pushing people into the rental market.

Whilst this is encouraging for many landlords who now have buy to let mortgages in negative equity it also a time to reflect on the realities of property rentals.

www.FinderMonkey.co.uk – have launched their new site targeting landlords with two tailor made services, Tenant verification checks and an absconded tenant tracing service.

Landlords can’t stop tenants from doing a moonlight flit but what they can do is make sure they have the required information to find the tenant at a new address, this is where FinderMonkey.co.uk’s expertise is a vital resource, but what information is necessary to trace a tenant?.
Landlords need to make sure they have as much information about the tenant as possible, for example

• Full name, previous addresses and date of birth
• Parents addresses
• Telephone numbers
• Work details

“Landlords must use the power when they have it, that’s before the tenant has the keys. So many landlords ask us to perform a tenant trace search when they do not have key information such as their tenant’s date of birth”
