Database checks are conducted on all tenants applying for a property through First National Real Estate. Within Australia there are two databases used by Real Estate Agents to lodge and check bad tenants. These are Tenants Reference Australia (TRA) and TICA. Any tenant who has rented through an agency that uses these databases and has defaulted in some way will be lodged on theses databases. This can greatly reduce your chances of getting a tenant with a previous bad rental history.
