💡 Landlord Tips
Never skip employment verification — call the employer directly, don't just accept a letter
Verify the guarantor independently — fake guarantor details are a common fraud in Nigeria and Ghana
Previous landlord reference is the single most predictive factor in tenant behaviour
Ask to see 3 months of bank statements — they reveal income stability better than payslips alone
In South Africa, always run a TPN check before signing — it costs ~R50 and shows payment history
