Vetting prospective lessees is one of the most vital chores of the successful rental home management of an investment townhouse in Northern Virginia.
Our local real estate brokerage check outs the applicant’s past behavior. With that in mind, Nesbitt Realty assumes the applicant’s future behavior will be the same or similar. The possible tenant should demonstrate a history of being a solid, reliable renter and at the same time possessing the financial capacity to handle the rent. Our background checking process is founded on several pillars including:
- Credit History – The potential lessee's credit history informs us about the possible renter’s current and past performance in meeting their financial obligations. The applicant’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.
- Application – After the applicant stop by a rental, the agent takes an application. The application is accompanied by supporting documentation so that Nesbitt Realty can verify and examine all information included on the application. The applicant pays for the cost of the background check at the time of application.
- Landlord Reference – Nesbitt Realty utilizes public information, tax records, and other research and verification to ensure that we're talking to the actual landlord about the actual rental history of the potential renter.
If accepted, the applicant’s in-processing includes a lease, lease signing, collecting pro-rated rent, and providing the renter with a copy of any association documents needed for disclosure and instruction on rules and regulations associated with the rental townhouse and community.
