What we seek in Dunn Loring renters
In Dunn Loring, our management staff prefers to deal with reliable renters. Here are a few of the traits we seek out.
- A renter pays the rent when due every time. 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 bring pests like rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not break the property.
- A tenant 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 bother neighbors.
- A tenant reports problems at appropriate times. Renters that don't report maintenance issues cost real estate investors money and cause issues for property managers.
- A renter doesn't complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a renter doesn't ask to upgrade functioning systems. A tenant doesn't expect more than the lease provides. A tenant 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 rental.
- A renter is looking for a rental term that is as long as the owner wants to rent the home.
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 tardy renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a knack for sniffing out tardy renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in Dunn Loring based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge applicants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with us from the beginning, they will probably be difficult as renters. If a lies, we can expect them to be unreliable as a tenant. If a has difficulty producing certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential renter will have difficulty during the lease.
But even when every action initially is promising we still vet every person with a full background check. Every person and occupant must submit a government-issue photo identification. From there, as rental 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
