What we look for in West_village_of_shirlington_condo tenants
In West_village_of_shirlington_condo, our team wants to work with reasonable renters. Here are a few of the traits we seek out.
- A renter pays the rent on time every time. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A tenant has integrity. A renter does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A tenant is fussy about cleanliness. A renter does not attract pests like rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not misuse the property or its systems.
- A renter is courteous and easy to get along with. A tenant knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't disturb neighbors.
- A tenant reports problems at appropriate times. Renters that don't report maintenance issues cost property owners money and cause problems for property managers.
- A renter doesn't complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a tenant doesn't demand 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 property.
- A renter is looking for a lease that is as long as the landlord wants to rent the home.
So this is what we're looking for in a renter, but how do we find tenants who live up to this ideal? Experience has taught us that bad tenants can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out troublesome renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential renters in West_village_of_shirlington_condo 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 from the beginning, they will probably be troublesome as tenants. If a is dishonest, we can expect them to be dishonest as a tenant. If a has troubles producing certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same applicant will have difficulty while they are in the rental.
But even if every action initially is good we still check the background of every potential tenant with a complete background check. Every potential renter and occupant must provide 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
Julie Nesbitt
I like tenants that pay on time. Late paying tenants cause extra work and unnecessary stress for landlords and property managers. ~ Julie Nesbitt
