What we look for in North_Highlands tenants
In North_Highlands, our team prefers to deal with dependable tenants. Here are some 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 fussy about cleanliness. A renter does not bring pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not destroy the property or its systems.
- A renter is courteous and easy to work with. A tenant understands the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't disturb neighbors.
- A renter reports problems when appropriate. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords money and cause problems for property managers.
- A renter 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 tenant does not smoke in the home.
- A renter is looking for a lease that is as long as the landlord wants to rent the property.
So this is what we're looking for in a renter, but how do we find renters who measure up to this standard? Experience has taught us that troublesome tenants can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out troublesome tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in North_Highlands based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge people based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is rude to us from the outset, they will probably be rude as renters. If a makes false statements, we can expect them to be dishonest as a renter. If a has troubles finding certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same applicant will have troubles during the lease.
But even when every statement initially is good we still check the background of each potential renter with a full background check. Every applicant and occupant must submit 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
