Tenant Screening

Perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of property management is tenant screening. Simply finding a renter is only half the battle. If you end up with someone who doesn’t pay or someone who is going to destroy your property, you would have better off having no one in there at all! This is why tenant screening is so important and why we spend so much effort making sure the tenant will respect and maintain the property.

Some of the measures we use to screen potential tenants are:

• Rigorous, in-depth application
• Credit check
• Criminal background check
• Record check to ensure no prior evictions
• Verification of income and job history
• Interview previous landlords to determine rental history
• One on one interviews

Still concerned about evictions? Red Door Property Management is the only property management company in the Noblesville region to offer our exclusive Eviction Protection Program which covers the cost of evictions so our Owners can rest assured they will not be surprised with a costly attorney’s bill should an eviction be necessary.

Leasing

The actually leasing of the property might seem simple, but many steps are needed to insure your lease is handled properly, legally and in a way that protects your assets including:

• Attorney written lease agreements
• Collection of all rents and security deposits
• Review of HOA rules for your community
• Signed tenant inspection list
• Detailed 50+ page move in and move out inspection with detailed photos.
• Tenant move in and move out videos of the home that are emailed to both tenant and owner to better document the condition of the home.
• Lease execution and termination

Noblesville Area Information

Noblesville is a city in, and the county seat of, Hamilton County, Indiana, United States, located just north of Indianapolis. The population was 51,969 at the 2010 census making it the 14th largest city/town in the state, up from 19th in 2007. As of 2016 the estimated population was 60,183. The city is part of Delaware, Fall Creek, Noblesville, and Wayne townships.

Noblesville is home to the Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center, an outdoor music venue, and the Indiana Transportation Museum.

Noblesville's history dates back to 1818 when the land which is now Hamilton County was purchased by the government from the Native Americans in this area. William Conner, the only settler living in the area at the time, and his wife Mekinges Conner, a Lenape woman, established the first trading post in central Indiana in 1802 and lived in the first log cabin in the area. William Conner and Josiah Polk laid out what is now downtown Noblesville in 1823, which was designated as the Hamilton County seat in 1824 and incorporated in 1851. Conner's 1823 home is now one of a village of historic buildings making up Conner Prairie Pioneer Settlement, a living history museum south of Noblesville in Fishers.

Noblesville was named either for James Noble, one of the first two US senators from Indiana, or, according to legend, for Lavina Noble of Indianapolis, to whom Josiah Polk was engaged. Source From Wikipedia
