What we seek in Elmwood_manor renters
In Elmwood_manor, our team prefers to deal with reasonable tenants. 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 renter is honest. A tenant does not sneak in a co-renter or pet.
- A tenant is fastidious. A renter does not attract pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not break the home.
- A renter is courteous and easy to get along with. A renter understands the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't bother neighbors.
- A renter complains when appropriate. Renters that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords money and cause issues for property managers.
- A renter doesn't complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a renter doesn't ask to replace functioning systems. A renter doesn't expect more than the lease provides. A tenant doesn't complain that an appliance doesn't work when the tenant doesn't know how to operate the appliance.
- A tenant does not smoke in the rental.
- A renter is looking for a rental term that is as long as the real estate investor wants to rent the property.
So this is what we're looking for in a tenant, but how do we find tenants who live up to this standard? Experience has taught us that difficult tenants can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out troublesome tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in Elmwood_manor based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess people based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our staff from the start, they will probably be troublesome as renters. If a is dishonest, we will expect them to be untrustworthy as a renter. If a has troubles scrounging up money for background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same potential tenant will have difficulty during the lease.
But even if every appearance initially is good we still vet every person with a full background check. Every potential tenant and occupant must submit 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
