What we look for in Potowmack_Crossing tenants
In Potowmack_Crossing, our management staff wants to deal with good renters. Here are some of the traits we look for.
- A tenant pays the rent when due every month. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A renter is trustworthy. A renter does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A renter is neat. A renter does not attract pests like rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not destroy the property or its systems.
- A renter is courteous and pleasant to work with. A renter knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't annoy neighbors.
- A tenant reports problems at appropriate times. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords money and cause head-aches for property managers.
- A tenant doesn't gripe when it's not appropriate. This means that a tenant doesn't ask 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 home.
- A renter is looking for a rental term that is as long as the landlord wants to rent the rental.
So this is what we're looking for in a tenant, but how do we find renters who measure up to this ideal? Experience has taught us that difficult tenants can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a knack for sniffing out tardy renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Potowmack_Crossing based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess applicants based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our staff from the start, they will probably be difficult as renters. If a makes false statements, we can expect them to be unreliable as a renter. If a has difficulty finding money for background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential tenant will have troubles while they are in the rental.
But even when every statement initially is promising we still check the background of each person with a complete background check. Every person and occupant must submit 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
