What we look for in Bulfinch_Square renters
In Bulfinch_Square, our management staff wants to deal with reasonable renters. Here are some of the traits we seek out.
- A renter pays the rent on time every time. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A tenant is trustworthy. A tenant does not sneak in a co-renter or pet.
- A renter is fussy about cleanliness. A tenant does not bring pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not break the home.
- A tenant is courteous and pleasant to get along with. A renter knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't annoy neighbors.
- A tenant reports problems when appropriate. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords money and cause problems for property managers.
- A tenant doesn't gripe when it's not appropriate. This means that a renter doesn't demand to replace functioning systems. A tenant doesn't expect more than the lease provides. A tenant doesn't complain that an appliance doesn't work when the renter doesn't know how to operate the appliance.
- A tenant does not smoke in the rental.
- A tenant is looking for a rental term that is as long as the owner wants to rent the rental.
So this is what we're looking for in a renter, but how do we find renters who live up to this ideal? Experience has taught us that unreasonable renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a knack for sniffing out unreasonable tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in Bulfinch_Square based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge potential renters based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our staff at the start, they will probably be rude as renters. If a makes false statements, we will expect them to be unreliable as a tenant. If a has difficulty producing fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same person will have difficulty while they are in the rental.
But even if every statement initially is good we still vet each applicant with a full background check. Every potential renter and occupant must provide a government-issue photo identification. From there, as rental we start our vetting process.

Our Broker Will Nesbitt
"I am by nature a trusting person, but this business has taught me to verify every statement that a tenant makes. Scammers and bad tenants can sometimes give every appearance of being trustworthy and upright people. We never cut corners on background checks." ~ Will Nesbitt

I like tenants that pay on time. Late paying tenants cause extra work and unnecessary stress for landlords and property managers. ~ Julie Nesbitt
