The first step for us to choose the best tenant is to advertise the listing to prospective renters moving to Northern Virginia. But the second step is to find the best-possible renter. Qualifying potential renters is one of the most vital charges of the successful property management in Arlington, Virginia of an investment property like 3835 9th St N #505e.
Our tiny brokerage checks out the prospective lessee’s past behavior. With that in mind, our small real estate business assumes the applicant’s future behavior will be similar. The prospective lessee should demonstrate a history of being an honest, good tenant while at the same time meeting our financial criteria. Our background checking process is founded on several conventions including:
- Criminal Record & Evictions – Nesbitt sees it's necessary to know the criminal and public court records of the possible renter on every investment unit in Arlington. Landlords should be aware that most other rental managers do not check out court records.
- Credit History – The prospective lessee's credit history informs us about the applicant’s current and past performance in a scored record of the applicant's ability to repay debts and demonstrated responsibility in repaying debts. The applicant’s credit report also tells us their monthly debt and shows their previous addresses (which we compare to addresses listed on the application). An applicant must have acceptable credit to qualify.
- Application – After the applicant learns more about a rental unit, the agent takes an application. The application is accompanied by supporting documentation so that our operation can verify and scrutinize all information included on the application. The applicant pays for the cost of the background check at the time of application.
If accepted, the potential renter’s in-processing includes a lease, lease signing, collecting pro-rated rent, and providing the tenant with a copy of any association documents needed for disclosure and instruction on rules and regulations associated with the rental and community.
