Every landlord in Uganda has a story about a bad tenant. Someone who moved in with promises and left behind months of unpaid rent, damaged walls, and a pile of excuses. It is a painful experience, and it is almost always preventable.
The difference between a landlord who constantly deals with rent arrears and one who collects payments consistently comes down to one thing: how they select their tenants.
Most landlords in Kampala, Entebbe, and other Ugandan towns still pick tenants based on gut feeling. Someone looks decent, speaks well, and says they can pay. That is enough. A handshake, a deposit, and the keys are handed over.
Months later, the problems begin.
Tenant screening is not complicated, but it does require discipline, pofessionalism and a clear process. Indigo Property Management will helps you through how to find good tenants or takes he whole burden on your behalf, how to verify their claims before handing over the keys, and how to protect yourself legally from the start.
