What we look for in Walney Village tenants
In Walney Village, Nesbitt Realty prefers to work with reliable renters. Here are some of the traits we expect.
- 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 has integrity. A tenant does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A renter is neat. A renter does not bring pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not misuse systems.
- 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 renter complains when appropriate. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords money and cause problems for property managers.
- A tenant doesn't gripe 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 rental term that is as long as the real estate investor wants to rent the property.
So this is what we're looking for in a tenant, but how do we find renters who measure up to this ideal? Experience has taught us that troublesome tenants can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a knack for sniffing out troublesome tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Walney Village based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess potential tenants based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our staff at the beginning, they will probably be difficult as tenants. If a lies, we will expect them to be unreliable as a renter. If a has difficulty producing money for background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same potential renter will have difficulty during the lease.
But even if every action initially is promising we still check the background of every potential tenant with a complete background check. Every potential tenant and occupant must submit 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

I like tenants that pay on time. Late paying tenants cause extra work and unnecessary stress for landlords and property managers. ~ Julie Nesbitt
