What we look for in Woodville renters
In Woodville, our management staff wants to work with good tenants. Here are some of the traits we look for.
- 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 renter is trustworthy. A tenant does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A renter is fastidious. A renter does not attract pests like rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not misuse the property.
- A renter is courteous and pleasant to work with. A tenant knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't annoy neighbors.
- A tenant complains when appropriate. Renters that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords money and cause issues for property managers.
- A renter doesn't complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a tenant doesn't demand to upgrade functioning systems. A renter 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 property.
- A renter is looking for a rental term that is as long as the 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 standard? Experience has taught us that unreasonable tenants can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out unreasonable tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in Woodville based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge potential renters based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our staff at the outset, they will probably be difficult as renters. If a lies, we can expect them to be unreliable as a tenant. If a has troubles producing certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential tenant will have problems during the lease.
But even if every action initially is good we still check the background of each potential renter with a complete background check. Every person and occupant must submit a government-issue photo identification. From there, as property managers 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
