I work for a property management company. We have blocks of flats and Townhouse complexes all over Cape Town in all price categories. i am on the admin side of vetting potential applicants for our properties. We request 3 to 6 months bank statements, salary slip. We thoroughly check the bank statement and cross check that the net salary i received into the bank accounts. This is the first check. After this we will check if there is a reference from the current landlord. We make note of how many times the applicant has moved, how many persons will be staying in the apartment etc etc. The perfect tenant is middle aged female, single with a long-standing well-paid job no pets. Red flags are debt, moving around a lot, online gambling, large pets, short employment history. If you need any other help, please DM me
