What we look for in Mosby Station renters
In Mosby Station, our team likes to deal with good 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 is honest. A renter does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A renter is fussy about cleanliness. A tenant does not bring pests like rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not overwork the home.
- A tenant is courteous and nice to get along with. A renter knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't bother neighbors.
- A tenant reports problems at appropriate times. 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 renter doesn't ask 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 tenant does not smoke in the rental.
- A tenant is looking for a rental term that is as long as the real estate investor wants to rent the property.
So this is what we're looking for in a tenant, but how do we find tenants who live 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 knack for sniffing out bad tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in Mosby Station based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge potential tenants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with us from the start, they will probably be rude as renters. If a is caught fabricating facts, we will expect them to be untrustworthy as a renter. If a has a problem finding money for background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential tenant will have troubles during the lease.
But even if every action initially is promising we still vet each person with a complete background check. Every potential renter and occupant must submit a government-issue photo identification. From there, as rental 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
