What we look for in Lebanon Church renters
In Lebanon Church, our management staff wants to deal with reliable renters. Here are some of the traits we expect.
- 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 tenant has integrity. A tenant does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A tenant is fastidious. A tenant does not bring pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not damage the property or its systems.
- A renter is courteous and nice to get along with. A renter knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't annoy neighbors.
- A tenant complains at appropriate times. Renters that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords money and cause issues for property managers.
- A renter doesn't gripe when it's not appropriate. This means that a renter doesn't ask to upgrade functioning systems. A renter doesn't expect more than the lease provides. A tenant 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 renter is looking for a lease that is as long as the landlord wants to rent the property.
So this is what we're looking for in a tenant, but how do we find renters who measure up to this standard? Experience has taught us that unreasonable renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out unreasonable renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in Lebanon Church based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess applicants based upon their reputation and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with us from the start, they will probably be trying as renters. If a makes false statements, we will expect them to be dishonest as a tenant. If a has troubles finding certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential tenant will have difficulty during the lease.
But even when every action initially is promising we still vet each potential renter with a complete 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
