What we seek in Braddock Acres tenants
In Braddock Acres, our team prefers to work with dependable renters. Here are a few of the traits we look for.
- 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 is honest. A renter does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A renter is fussy about cleanliness. A renter does not attract pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not damage the home.
- A renter is courteous and pleasant to work with. A renter understands the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't disturb neighbors.
- A tenant complains at appropriate times. Renters that don't report maintenance issues cost real estate investors 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 tenant doesn't expect more than the lease provides. A tenant 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 rental.
- A renter 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 renter, but how do we find renters who live up to this standard? Experience has taught us that tardy tenants can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out tardy tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Braddock Acres based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess applicants based upon their reputation and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our managers at the beginning, they will probably be difficult as tenants. If a is dishonest, we can expect them to be unreliable as a renter. If a has troubles finding fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential tenant will have difficulty while they are in the rental.
But even if every statement initially is good we still check the background of each potential renter with a complete background check. Every potential renter and occupant must provide 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
