Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in Lorton 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 start, they will probably be trying as renters. If a is dishonest, we will expect them to be untrustworthy as a renter. If a has a problem producing certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same person will have troubles during the lease.
But even if every appearance initially is good we still check the background of each applicant with a full 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
