What we look for in New Providence Village tenants
In New Providence Village, our management staff wants to work with good tenants. Here are a few of the traits we expect.
- A renter pays the rent on time every time. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A renter is honest. 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 overwork systems.
- A tenant is courteous and nice to work with. A renter knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't disturb neighbors.
- A tenant complains 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 demand to upgrade 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 tenant doesn't know how to operate the appliance.
- A renter does not smoke in the property.
- A renter is looking for a lease that is as long as the 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 tenants can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a knack for sniffing out difficult tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in New Providence Village based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge people based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our managers from the beginning, they will probably be trying as renters. If a is dishonest, we can expect them to be unreliable as a tenant. If a has troubles finding money for 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 promising we still vet every potential tenant with a complete background check. Every potential tenant and occupant must provide a government-issue photo identification. From there, as rental 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

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