Investigating applicants is one of the most critical responsibilities of the successful property management in Fairfax County of a rental property in Reston.
The first step for us to hunt for a good renter is to advertise the listing to the most people possible. But the second step is to find the best renter.
Nesbitt investigates the prospective tenant’s past behavior. With that in mind, Nesbitt Realty and Management assumes the applicant’s future behavior will be the same. The applicant should demonstrate a history of being a reliable, stable tenant while meeting your financial criteria. Our background checking process is founded on several conventions including:
- Application – After the possible renter checkouts a rental, the agent takes an application. The application is accompanied by supporting documentation so that our team can verify and check out all information included on the application. The applicant pays for the cost of the background check at the time of application.
- Credit History – The applicant's credit history informs us about the applicant’s current and past performance in a scored record of the applicant's ability to repay debts and demonstrated responsibility in repaying debts. The possible tenant’s credit report also tells us their monthly debt and shows their previous addresses (which we compare to addresses listed on the application). An applicant must have acceptable credit to qualify.
- Criminal Record & Evictions – Nesbitt Realty knows it's vital to know the criminal and public court records of the possible tenant on every rental in Fairfax County. Owners should be aware that nearly all other rental property managers do not scrutinize court records.
If accepted, the applicant’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.
