What we seek in Lukens_farm renters
In Lukens_farm, our management staff wants to deal with good tenants. Here are some of the traits we seek out.
- 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 tenant has integrity. A renter does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A renter is fussy about cleanliness. A renter does not attract pests like rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not destroy the property.
- A renter is courteous and nice to work with. A tenant knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't disturb neighbors.
- A renter complains at appropriate times. 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 tenant doesn't ask to upgrade functioning systems. A renter doesn't expect more than the lease provides. A renter doesn't complain that an appliance doesn't work when the tenant doesn't know how to operate the appliance.
- A renter does not smoke in the property.
- A renter is looking for a rental term that is as long as the property owner wants to rent the property.
So this is what we're looking for in a renter, but how do we find tenants who live up to this ideal? Experience has taught us that troublesome renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a knack for sniffing out bad tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in Lukens_farm based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge applicants based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our staff from the beginning, they will probably be trying as renters. If a makes false statements, we can expect them to be unreliable as a renter. If a has a problem scrounging up certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same applicant will have problems during the lease.
But even if every appearance initially is promising we still vet each potential renter with a full background check. Every person 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
