What we look for in Manchester Lakes tenants
In Manchester Lakes, Nesbitt Realty wants to work with good renters. 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 renter is trustworthy. A tenant does not sneak in a co-renter or pet.
- A tenant is reasonably clean. A tenant does not attract pests like rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not damage the property or its systems.
- A renter is courteous and nice to work with. A tenant understands the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't bother neighbors.
- A tenant reports problems when appropriate. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost real estate investors money and cause issues for property managers.
- A renter doesn't complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a renter doesn't demand to upgrade 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 renter doesn't know how to operate the appliance.
- A tenant does not smoke in the property.
- A renter is looking for a lease that is as long as the property owner 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 troublesome renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a knack for sniffing out difficult tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Manchester Lakes 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 rude to our managers from the outset, they will probably be troublesome as tenants. If a is caught fabricating facts, we can expect them to be untrustworthy as a renter. If a has troubles scrounging up certified fundsfor 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 promising we still vet each person with a full background check. Every potential renter 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

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