What we look for in Tysons Corner renters
In Tysons Corner, our team wants to deal with dependable renters. Here are some of the traits we expect.
- A tenant pays the rent when due every month. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A tenant is honest. A tenant does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A tenant is fastidious. A renter does not attract pests like rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not overwork the property.
- A renter is courteous and nice to get along with. A tenant knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't annoy neighbors.
- A tenant reports problems at appropriate times. Renters that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords money and cause head-aches for property managers.
- A renter doesn't complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a tenant doesn't ask to replace 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 renter doesn't know how to operate the appliance.
- A renter does not smoke in the property.
- A tenant is looking for a lease that is as long as the property owner wants to rent the home.
So this is what we're looking for in a tenant, but how do we find tenants who measure up to this standard? Experience has taught us that difficult 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 applicants in Tysons Corner based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess potential tenants based upon their reputation and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our managers at the outset, they will probably be rude as tenants. If a lies, we can expect them to be unreliable as a tenant. If a has troubles finding certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same person will have problems during the lease.
But even when every statement initially is good we still check the background of every person with a full 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
Julie Nesbitt

I like tenants that pay on time. Late paying tenants cause extra work and unnecessary stress for landlords and property managers. ~ Julie Nesbitt
