What we look for in Willow_Run tenants
In Willow_Run, our team wants to deal with dependable renters. Here are some of the traits we look for.
- 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 tenant is honest. 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 damage the property or its systems.
- A tenant is courteous and nice to work with. A renter understands the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't bother neighbors.
- A renter complains at appropriate times. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords money and cause head-aches for property managers.
- A tenant 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 renter does not smoke in the rental.
- 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 renter, but how do we find tenants who measure up to this ideal? Experience has taught us that unreasonable tenants can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a knack for sniffing out troublesome tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in Willow_Run based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess applicants based upon their reputation and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our staff at the start, they will probably be rude as renters. If a lies, we can expect them to be unreliable as a tenant. If a has troubles producing fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential tenant will have difficulty during the lease.
But even if every action initially is promising we still check the background of each potential tenant with a complete background check. Every person and occupant must submit 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
