Nesbitt Realty doesn't “sell” rental properties. We market rental units to the most people possible to shop the best tenant. How do you find the best-possible renter for your rental home in Northern Virginia? Investigating applicants is one of the most necessary charges of any proactive rental manager in Fairfax County.
Nesbitt Realty checkouts the applicant’s past behavior. With that in mind, our operation assumes the potential tenant’s future behavior will be the same or similar. The potential lessee should demonstrate a history of being a top, reliable renter as well as demonstrated financial capacity. Our background checking process is founded on several conventions including:
- Income Verification – Nesbitt Realty checks out prospects for continued employment, job status, salary and job title. Depending upon the potential renter's debt load, a tenant needs to earn not less than 3 to 4 times the monthly rent in gross income to qualify for a rental.
- Application – After the potential renter views a rental, the agent takes an application. The application is accompanied by supporting documentation so that Nesbitt Realty can verify and look at all information included on the application. The potential renter pays for the cost of the background check at the time of application.
- Credit History – The applicant's credit history informs us about the possible renter’s current and past performance as far as debts and other obligations. The prospective 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.
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 abode and community.
