What we look for in Northampton_Place tenants
In Northampton_Place, our management staff prefers to deal with reliable renters. Here are some of the traits we look for.
- 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 renter does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A renter is neat. A tenant does not attract pests like rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not overwork the property.
- A renter is courteous and easy to work with. A renter knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't disturb neighbors.
- A tenant complains at appropriate times. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost property owners money and cause issues for property managers.
- A renter doesn't gripe when it's not appropriate. This means that a tenant doesn't demand to upgrade 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 renter does not smoke in the property.
- A tenant is looking for a lease that is as long as the real estate investor wants to rent the home.
So this is what we're looking for in a renter, but how do we find renters who measure up to this ideal? Experience has taught us that bad renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out troublesome renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Northampton_Place based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge applicants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with us from the start, they will probably be difficult as renters. If a lies, we can expect them to be dishonest as a renter. If a has difficulty producing money for background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential tenant will have problems while they are in the rental.
But even when every statement initially is good we still vet each potential renter with a full background check. Every applicant and occupant must provide a government-issue photo identification. From there, as property managers 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
Julie Nesbitt
I like tenants that pay on time. Late paying tenants cause extra work and unnecessary stress for landlords and property managers. ~ Julie Nesbitt
