What we look for in Townes_of_wakefield renters
In Townes_of_wakefield, our team likes to deal with dependable renters. Here are some 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 tenant is trustworthy. A renter does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A tenant is neat. A tenant does not attract pests like rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not damage the property.
- A tenant 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 disturb 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 complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a renter doesn't ask 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 landlord wants to rent the property.
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 difficult renters 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 applicants in Townes_of_wakefield based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge applicants based upon their reputation and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our staff at the beginning, they will probably be troublesome as tenants. If a makes false statements, we can expect them to be dishonest as a renter. If a has a problem finding certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same person will have problems 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 potential renter 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
