Owning rental property can be an incredibly rewarding venture, offering not only financial gains but the chance to provide a comfortable and safe living space for others. However, like any investment, it comes with its share of risks. The unpredictable nature of tenant behavior, the potential for property damage, and the complexities of managing legal and financial responsibilities can leave property owners navigating a sea of uncertainty. 

Below we share real world situations our customers have faced – a homeland security raid, a religious leader growing and selling cannabis, trouble in paradise leading to extensive missed rent and damage – and how Nomad has helped them. 

A homeland security raid

An owner recently found out the tenant in their rental had been arrested by homeland security. Why? We nor the owner of the home know to this day. It happened and had to be addressed. 

Put yourself in this rental owner’s shoes and imagine what you would think and do. In this case, they wanted to know how could this if the tenant’s were thoroughly screened and what do we do next?

How could this happen? Nomad offers more comprehensive screening that most DIY owners or property managers do. After Nomad learned of this situation, we reviewed the screening report for this tenant. There were no red flags on their criminal and background check - just a single speeding ticket. The tenant had great credit, and steady income from a reliable job. Past landlord references gave no indication of risk. This could not be prevented in the screening step. 

What do we do next? This owner is fortunate because they will not experience a gap in rental income with Nomad’s guaranteed rent. If they had gone the DIY or property management route they would be missing their rent check until they re-lease the property. 

Nomad is supporting this owner so the property can be re-leased. The owner is marketing their property with Nomad’s powerful software and will have a new, vetted tenant in no time.

A clergyman growing cannabis

A religious leader with a clean criminal and background check was raided for illegally growing and selling cannabis from the rental home he lived in. The raid caused extensive property damage and the tenant stopped paying rent while in jail. This is another case where, despite diligent screening, the owner of the property faced serious financial risks that are impossible to prevent. 

Nomad’s guaranteed rent and property protection helped this owner avoid serious financial loss. Without Nomad, this owner would have had [X] months of unpaid rent, and $50,000 in property damage to pay out of pocket. 

Trouble in paradise – a breakup, unreported flooding, and an eviction 

A couple began renting a home in the Nomad network and they seemed like ideal tenants in every way. However, after the couple broke up one of the individuals moved out and stopped paying rent leaving the remaining individual unable to pay rent. To add to the pain, the remaining tenant never reported leaking water in the basement of this home which led to serious damage. After creating a payment plan for the remaining tenant was unsuccessful, an eviction was unfortunately required. 

The owner of this home was paid rent every single month during this process and the property damage was covered by Nomad’s property protection plan.

Can you imagine this happening to you? What would you do?

These Events Are Very Rare But You Need Protection

Nomad has worked with thousands of rental property owners and issues this dramatic and big are extremely rare.
