Tenant loans are designed for individuals who are seeking a loan but do not own any property, home or other forms of real estate that can be used for collateral. In many ways, tenant loans are similar to credit cards where individuals can get an unsecured loan do whatever they want. However, tenant loans should not be confused with credit cards as the loan amount is not revolving and they must be repaid in their totality within a specific period as determined by the creditor.

When applying for a tenant loan, there are some important points that must be understood so that the debtor can know exactly what they are getting into. These include:

1. High interest rate:

In the eyes of many financial institutions, tenant loans are considered as high risk. This is because applicants are most likely renting their present abode and are thus classified as not have a permanent address.In addition, many applicants of tenant loans suffer from bad credit and are forced to utilize this service as a last resort. Considering the risks involved, financial institutions attach comparatively high interest rates to recoup any potential losses.

2. What can be done with tenant loans:

Although some institutions may enquire about the purpose of the tenant loan, in general most are more concerned about its repayment than how it is spent. As a result, tenant loan debtors are allowed to use their tenant loan for whatever purpose they see fit. Many tenant loan recipients use these loans to pay for school, medical procedures, vacation or start a business.

3. How much money is available in tenant loans:

The amount of money that is made available to an individual in the form of a tenant loan depends on the individual’s available income. This proves to the creditor that you will be able to meet your financial obligation. In general, tenant loans range from $7,500 to $500,000.

4. How long do I get to repay my tenant loan:

Depending on the loan amount, recipients of tenant loans can get extended periods in which to repay their tenant loan. Records show some institutions allowing up to ten years for full repayment.

5. Tenant loan conditions:

Each client must negotiate the terms of their tenant loan. This will entail amount of monthly payment, interest rate, life cycle of the e loan and conditions for late payment and default.

6. What if I want to settle early:

Early payments are welcomed on tenant loans. Tenant loan creditors have no restriction or fines for individuals who choose to settle their debt early. Actually, what most institutions will do is calculate the outstanding balance and adjust your interest rate accordingly.

7. Are payments protected if I lose my source of income:

While most institutions may offer this benefit by default, it is important to discuss this with your creditor. This option provides peace of mind to many tenant loan recipients as their credit will not be affected if they should fall ill, lose their job or experience some accident.

8. Will my tenant loan be confidential:

Applicants of tenant loans can rest assure that their application will be kept in the strictest confidentiality. There will be no contact with their employers, bank or other third party without your approval.

As a Virginia Bankruptcy lawyer, I often tell my clients to “change banks.” Why?

If you have been hit with and ignored a warrant in debt,  and the return date is past, you may be about to be garnished.  What checking account did you use when you last paid that debt?  Since they know where it is, that’s the one you can expect will be first garnished.  Time to change.

(Changing your account number is not enough.   A garnishment will hit all the accounts you have at that bank.)

You also need to change banks if have a loan where you bank .   If you are falling behind on your second mortgage–for example–with Bank of America and you save or check with Bank of America, they can dip into your account to pay themselves.   Credit Unions can a
