Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Smith Pond based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge potential renters based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our staff from the start, they will probably be troublesome as tenants. If a is dishonest, we will expect them to be unreliable as a tenant. If a has troubles finding fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same applicant will have problems during the lease.
But even when every action initially is promising we still check the background of each applicant with a complete background check. Every person 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
