Skip Tracing for Landlords in New York

Among the most competitive rental markets in the United States, New York State presents a number of challenges to those leasing property. One of the most frustrating situations a landlord can find themselves facing is when tenants or applicants disappear on them without clearing their dues. Be it unpaid rent, property damages, or even an interest in locating someone for legal or administrative purposes, this exposes the need that brings about skip tracing services.

Skip tracing for landlords throughout New York is one of the fields in which Easton Secure Solutions, LLC has particular specialization. We strive to make such matters be brought to resolution as smoothly and ethically as possible.

What Is Skip Tracing?


Skip tracing is the art of locating hard-to-find individuals, often called "skips." These are people who may have abandoned rental properties, violated lease agreements, or left owing money.

Unlike a simple internet search, skip tracing involves professional investigative methodologies and practices, comprised of access to proprietary databases and, when applicable, technical knowledge of the law to obtain actual and valid information.

Why New York State Landlords Need Skip Tracing


The New York rental market is complicated and has both urban, suburban, and rural markets; each town and area brings its problems. The most common scenarios regarding a landlord that may want to make use of skip tracing involve:

Legal Action against Former Tenants
Tenants that skip out on a lease often leave in their wake a trail of unpaid rent or property damages. A skip trace can reveal their current address, telephone numbers, and other contact information so that the landlords can pursue their legal remedies or debt collection.

Tracking Down Sublease Violators

Subleasing without permission is also extremely common. When a rogue subletter skips town or breaks terms, landlords may have to track down the original tenant to sort it all out.

Finding Applicants with Dubious Histories
Sometimes when trying to screen a tenant, red flags pop up in the form of incomplete or unverifiable information. In such cases, skip tracing helps a landlord verify an applicant's history prior to signing a lease in accordance with applicable laws.

Security Deposit Disputes
Since such tenants move out without leaving any forwarding addresses, it creates problems for landlords in returning the security deposits or sorting out disputes that may arise later on. Skip tracing ensures correct communication for a smooth resolution.

How Skip Tracing Works at Easton Secure Solutions LLC

Our skip tracing process is comprehensive, professional, and follows all of New York's legal and ethical standards. Here's how we do it:

Initial Information Gathering
We begin by gathering all available data from the landlord regarding the subject.

Access to Specialized Databases
We employ licensed tools and databases not available to the general public. These tools help in providing addresses, employment records, and any other data of vital importance.

Cross-referencing and Verification
Our personnel double-checks the data to ensure that information is valid and usable.

Delivering Results
We provide the landlord with a comprehensive report of actions taken, along so that further action may be taken legally by the landlord himself.
