WHY CHOOSE TICA

One of the greatest fears of any property investor and their property manager is that of default tenants, yet wherever rental accommodation is offered a property investor and property manager face the risk of inheriting one of these people who are able to slip through the system.

A fact of investment is the only information available to an investor or their property manager is the information a tenant is prepared to offer. It is a fact that a tenant applicant is highly unlikely to disclose to a property manager that they owe hundreds to thousands of dollars in unpaid rent from a previous property rental.

Unfortunately due to consumer protection or tenancy legislation an asset can very quickly become a liability by approving the wrong tenant. Unfortunately even with a court or tribunal order in hand the chances of recouping owed monies is very low.

The TICA system was designed to combat this dreadful situation and to date is the only service in Australia to offer property managers a full default tenancy control system.

We are all aware that tenants are a transient population and just because they rented through you on the East Coast does not mean they wont move to the West Coast. By uniting thousands of property managers throughout Australia and New Zealand and collating their valuable information on tenants TICA has been able to reduce the hardships that were previously faced by property managers and reduce their clients exposure.

Tenants who constantly default under their tenancy agreement do so not only because of financial hardship but because they can and worse still some believe they have a right to do so. No person has the right to effect another person's lifestyle.

You can change this and you can make a difference by joining the most pro-active and dedicated team of TICA.

The simplicity of the TICA system and its fast searching capabilities make the system easy to use and indeed a very cost effective way in which to verify your tenancy applicants.

From its origins as a database of default tenants TICA has grown significantly into a major part of a property managers life and as such has become a sought after industry tool. By having the ability to record a tenant’s details from the time of current tenants through to recommendation you are contributing to the lowering of default tenant ratio.

From Hobart to Cairns and Sydney to Perth, Auckland to Christchurch and Wellington to Darwin members can use the system knowing that the same policies apply.

Every member makes a difference to TICA and its membership, as your information is just as important as theirs.

Access to TICA is via the Internet or by phone. Every member of TICA is allocated their own unique identification number along with a password.
