Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in Southbridge based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge potential tenants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our staff from the start, they will probably be troublesome as renters. If a lies, we will expect them to be untrustworthy as a tenant. If a has difficulty scrounging up fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same applicant will have problems during the lease.
But even when every appearance initially is promising we still vet every person with a full background check. Every potential renter and occupant must provide a government-issue photo identification. From there, as property managers we start our vetting process.
How we protect the landlord’s interests in Southbridge:

"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
