The first step for us to find a dependable tenant is to market your rental townhouse to the public. But the second step is to identify a solid renter. Qualifying potential renters is one of the most essential charges of any hard-working rental management company in Alexandria, Virginia. Nesbitt Realty investigates the applicant’s past behavior. With that in mind, our local real estate business assumes the possible lessee’s future behavior will be similar. The applicant should demonstrate a history of being a stable, stable lessee while at the same time meeting our financial criteria. Our background checking process is founded on several hard truths including:

Tenant Screening – Nesbitt Realty screens tenants with a combination of checking credit history, background, eviction and criminal screening services as well as our own efforts to collect information needed to confirm and process the application.
Landlord Reference – Nesbitt Realty utilizes public information, tax records and other research and verification to ensure that we're talking to actual landlord about actual rental history of the applicant.
Income Verification – Our local real estate brokerage checks and confirms job status, salary, prospects for continued employment and job title. Depending upon the potential renter's debt load, a tenant needs to earn at least 3 to 4 times the monthly rent in gross income to qualify for rental.

If accepted, the possible renter’s in-processing includes a lease, lease signing, collecting pro-rated rent, and providing the tenant with a copy of any association documents needed for disclosure and instruction on rules and regulations associated with the rental and community.
