What we look for in Powells_Landing tenants
In Powells_Landing, Nesbitt Realty likes to work with reliable renters. Here are some of the traits we seek out.
- A renter pays the rent when due every time. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A tenant is trustworthy. A tenant does not sneak in a co-renter or pet.
- A renter is fastidious. A tenant does not bring pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not misuse the property or its systems.
- A renter is courteous and easy to get along with. A tenant knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't disturb neighbors.
- A tenant complains when appropriate. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords money and cause head-aches for property managers.
- A tenant doesn't gripe when it's not appropriate. This means that a tenant doesn't ask to replace 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 renter doesn't know how to operate the appliance.
- A renter does not smoke in the rental.
- 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 troublesome renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out tardy renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential renters in Powells_Landing based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess applicants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with us at the outset, they will probably be troublesome as tenants. If a is dishonest, we will expect them to be unreliable as a renter. If a has troubles scrounging up money for background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same potential renter will have troubles during the lease.
But even if every appearance initially is promising we still check the background of every person with a full background check. Every potential tenant and occupant must submit 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
