What we seek in Wexford renters
In Wexford, our management staff prefers to work with reasonable tenants. Here are a few of the traits we look for.
- A renter pays the rent when due every time. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A tenant is honest. A renter does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A renter is fastidious. A tenant does not attract pests like rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not damage the home.
- A renter is courteous and easy to get along with. A tenant understands the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't bother neighbors.
- A renter 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 demand 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 tenant is looking for a rental term that is as long as the landlord wants to rent the rental.
So this is what we're looking for in a tenant, but how do we find renters who live up to this standard? 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 bad tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in Wexford based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge potential tenants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is rude to us from the start, they will probably be trying as tenants. If a makes false statements, we will expect them to be dishonest as a renter. If a has troubles finding certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same person will have difficulty while they are in the rental.
But even when every statement initially is promising we still vet each applicant with a complete background check. Every potential renter and occupant must submit 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
