Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential renters in The_duke 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 managers from the outset, they will probably be troublesome as renters. If a is caught fabricating facts, we can expect them to be unreliable as a renter. If a has a problem producing money for background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same potential tenant will have problems during the lease.
But even when every statement initially is promising we still vet every person with a complete background check. Every potential tenant and occupant must submit a government-issue photo identification. From there, as rental we start our vetting process.
How we protect the landlord’s interests in The_duke:

"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
