What we look for in Old Mill Community tenants
In Old Mill Community, Nesbitt Realty likes to work with reliable tenants. Here are some 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 tenant does not sneak in a co-renter or pet.
- A tenant is fussy about cleanliness. A renter does not attract pests like rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not overwork the property.
- A tenant is courteous and nice to get along with. A tenant knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't annoy neighbors.
- A renter reports problems when appropriate. Renters that don't report maintenance issues cost property owners money and cause issues for property managers.
- A renter doesn't gripe when it's not appropriate. This means that a tenant doesn't ask to replace 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 renter 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 real estate investor wants to rent the home.
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 renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out difficult renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in Old Mill Community based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess potential renters based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with us at the beginning, they will probably be rude as renters. If a makes false statements, we will expect them to be untrustworthy as a renter. If a has difficulty scrounging up certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same applicant will have troubles during the lease.
But even when every statement initially is good we still vet every potential tenant with a complete background check. Every potential renter and occupant must provide 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
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
