What we look for in Hawthorne_Village tenants
In Hawthorne_Village, our team prefers to work with reasonable renters. Here are some of the traits we expect.
- A tenant pays the rent on time every month. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A tenant has integrity. 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 tenant does not misuse the home.
- A renter is courteous and nice to work with. A renter knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't annoy neighbors.
- A tenant reports problems when appropriate. Renters that don't report maintenance issues cost property owners money and cause problems for property managers.
- A tenant doesn't complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a tenant doesn't demand to replace 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 tenant does not smoke in the home.
- A tenant is looking for a lease that is as long as the landlord wants to rent the rental.
So this is what we're looking for in a renter, but how do we find renters 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 unreasonable renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in Hawthorne_Village based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge people based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our staff at the start, they will probably be trying as tenants. If a is dishonest, we will expect them to be untrustworthy as a renter. If a has troubles producing fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential renter will have troubles during the lease.
But even if every appearance initially is promising we still vet every potential renter with a complete background check. Every applicant and occupant must provide 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
