The first step for us to find a dependable lessee is to advertise the listing to prospective renters moving to Northern Virginia. But the second step is to find a good tenant. Verifying the claims of potential renters is one of the most necessary aspects of any tireless rental management company in 22304 in the City of Alexandria.

Nesbitt Realty check outs the potential lessee’s past behavior. With that in mind, our team assumes the applicant’s future behavior will be similar. The applicant should demonstrate a history of being a solid lessee while at the same time possessing the financial capacity to handle the rent. Our background checking process is founded on several basics including:

Landlord Reference – Nesbitt utilizes public information, tax records, and other research and verification to ensure that we're talking to the actual owner about the actual rental history of the applicant.
Application – After the applicant views a rental home, the agent takes an application. The application is accompanied by supporting documentation so that Nesbitt Realty can verify and scrutinize all information included on the application. The possible renter pays for the cost of the background check at the time of application.
Credit History – The possible lessee's credit history informs us about the applicant’s current and past performance in meeting their financial obligations. 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.

If accepted, the applicant’s in-processing includes a lease, lease signing, collecting pro-rated rent, and providing the renter with a copy of any association documents needed for disclosure and instruction on rules and regulations associated with the rental and community.
