There is no single definition for a good tenant but generally, a good tenant will pay rent on time, look after your rental property, and comply with all that is set out in the tenancy agreement. You can never really know whether a tenant is good or not but if you do a background and credit check you can feel more secure in your decision. A comprehensive tenant check will look at your tenant's credit history as well as their history with the Tenancy Tribunal, courts, and more.
