What we seek in Front Royal tenants
In Front Royal, our team prefers to work with good renters. Here are a few of the traits we seek out.
- 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 renter is trustworthy. A tenant does not sneak in a co-renter or pet.
- A renter is neat. A tenant does not attract pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not destroy the property or its systems.
- A renter is courteous and pleasant to work with. A tenant understands the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't bother neighbors.
- A tenant complains when appropriate. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost property owners money and cause issues for property managers.
- A tenant doesn't complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a renter 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 home.
- A tenant is looking for a rental term that is as long as the property owner wants to rent the property.
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 troublesome tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in Front Royal based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess potential tenants based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our staff from the start, they will probably be difficult as tenants. If a is caught fabricating facts, we can expect them to be unreliable as a renter. If a has troubles finding certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential renter will have difficulty while they are in the rental.
But even if every appearance initially is promising we still vet every applicant with a complete 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
