What we look for in North Branch Estates renters
In North Branch Estates, our management staff wants to deal with reasonable renters. Here are a few of the traits we seek out.
- A renter pays the rent on time every month. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A renter has integrity. A tenant does not sneak in a co-renter or pet.
- A tenant is neat. A tenant does not attract pests like rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not damage the home.
- A renter is courteous and nice to work with. A renter knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't bother neighbors.
- A tenant complains at appropriate times. Renters that don't report maintenance issues cost property owners money and cause head-aches for property managers.
- A renter doesn't complain 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 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 home.
- A tenant is looking for a rental term that is as long as the real estate investor wants to rent the rental.
So this is what we're looking for in a tenant, but how do we find renters who live up to this ideal? Experience has taught us that tardy renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out bad tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential renters in North Branch Estates 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 managers at the start, they will probably be rude as renters. If a lies, we will expect them to be untrustworthy as a tenant. If a has difficulty finding fundsfor 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 promising we still vet every 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.

"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
