Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Harrisonburg based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge potential renters based upon their reputation and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with us at the start, they will probably be troublesome as tenants. If a is caught fabricating facts, we will expect them to be dishonest as a renter. If a has troubles finding fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same applicant will have problems while they are in the rental.
But even if every action initially is good we still check the background of every potential tenant with a full background check. Every person and occupant must provide 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
