What we seek in Chantilly_Highlands renters
In Chantilly_Highlands, our management staff prefers to deal with dependable renters. Here are some of the traits we seek out.
- A tenant 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 tenant does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A renter is neat. A tenant does not bring pests like rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not overwork systems.
- A renter is courteous and nice to get along with. A renter knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't bother neighbors.
- A tenant reports problems when appropriate. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost real estate investors money and cause issues for property managers.
- A tenant doesn't gripe when it's not appropriate. This means that a renter doesn't ask to replace 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 tenant does not smoke in the rental.
- A tenant is looking for a rental term 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 ideal? Experience has taught us that bad renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a knack for sniffing out troublesome renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Chantilly_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 at the outset, they will probably be trying as tenants. If a is caught fabricating facts, we can expect them to be unreliable as a renter. If a has a problem producing certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same applicant will have problems while they are in the rental.
But even if every appearance initially is good we still vet each person with a complete background check. Every applicant 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
