What we seek in Middleridge renters
In Middleridge, Nesbitt Realty wants to deal with good 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 honest. A tenant does not sneak in a co-renter or pet.
- A renter is fastidious. A renter does not attract pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not misuse the property.
- A renter 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 annoy neighbors.
- A tenant reports problems at appropriate times. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost real estate investors money and cause head-aches for property managers.
- A renter doesn't gripe when it's not appropriate. This means that a tenant doesn't demand to upgrade functioning systems. A tenant 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 rental.
- A renter is looking for a lease that is as long as the property owner 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 bad renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out troublesome renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential renters in Middleridge based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess potential renters based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our staff from the beginning, they will probably be trying as tenants. If a is caught fabricating facts, we can expect them to be unreliable as a tenant. If a has difficulty producing certified 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 statement initially is promising we still vet every potential tenant with a full background check. Every person 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

I like tenants that pay on time. Late paying tenants cause extra work and unnecessary stress for landlords and property managers. ~ Julie Nesbitt
