What we look for in Berryland Farm tenants
In Berryland Farm, our management staff wants to work with reliable 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 renter 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 destroy the property.
- A tenant is courteous and nice to work with. A tenant understands the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't annoy neighbors.
- A renter complains when appropriate. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords money and cause head-aches 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 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 property.
- A tenant is looking for a lease 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 tenants who live up to this standard? 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 difficult tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Berryland Farm based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge potential renters based upon their reputation and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our staff at the start, they will probably be difficult as renters. If a is caught fabricating facts, we will expect them to be unreliable as a tenant. If a has a problem producing fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential tenant will have troubles during the lease.
But even if every statement initially is good we still check the background of each applicant with a complete background check. Every person 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
