What we look for in Colvin Hunt tenants
In Colvin Hunt, Nesbitt Realty prefers to work with dependable renters. Here are a few of the traits we expect.
- A tenant pays the rent on time every time. 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-renter or pet.
- A renter is fastidious. A renter does not bring pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not destroy the property or its systems.
- A renter is courteous and easy to get along with. A renter knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't bother neighbors.
- A tenant reports problems when appropriate. Renters that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords money and cause issues for property managers.
- A renter doesn't gripe when it's not appropriate. This means that a renter doesn't ask to upgrade functioning systems. A tenant 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 owner wants to rent the rental.
So this is what we're looking for in a tenant, but how do we find tenants who measure 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 difficult renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in Colvin Hunt based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess potential tenants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our staff at the start, they will probably be rude as tenants. If a is dishonest, we can expect them to be dishonest as a renter. If a has a problem scrounging up certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same potential renter will have troubles while they are in the rental.
But even when every appearance initially is promising we still vet every potential tenant with a complete background check. Every person and occupant must provide a government-issue photo identification. From there, as property managers we start our vetting process.

"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
