What we look for in Bonair renters
In Bonair, our management staff prefers to work with reasonable tenants. Here are a few of the traits we look for.
- A renter 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 renter does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A tenant is fastidious. A renter does not attract pests like rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not misuse systems.
- A renter is courteous and nice to work 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 tenant doesn't complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a renter doesn't demand 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 tenant does not smoke in the property.
- A tenant is looking for a lease that is as long as the owner wants to rent the home.
So this is what we're looking for in a tenant, but how do we find tenants who measure up to this ideal? Experience has taught us that unreasonable 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 potential renters in Bonair based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge applicants based upon their reputation and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our staff from the start, they will probably be difficult as renters. If a is caught fabricating facts, we can expect them to be dishonest as a tenant. If a has troubles scrounging up fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same person will have difficulty while they are in the rental.
But even when every action initially is good we still check the background of every person with a complete background check. Every person and occupant must provide 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
