What we look for in Wharf Cluster renters
In Wharf Cluster, our management staff wants to deal with dependable tenants. Here are a few of the traits we seek out.
- 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 renter has integrity. A tenant does not sneak in a co-renter or pet.
- A renter is reasonably clean. A tenant does not attract pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not misuse systems.
- A renter is courteous and nice to work with. A renter understands the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't annoy neighbors.
- A tenant complains at appropriate times. 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 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 rental.
- A renter is looking for a lease that is as long as the real estate investor wants to rent the home.
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 renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out bad renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Wharf Cluster based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess people based upon their reputation and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our managers at the outset, they will probably be trying as renters. If a lies, we can expect them to be unreliable as a renter. If a has troubles scrounging up money for background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential renter will have difficulty during the lease.
But even when every statement initially is good we still vet every 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
