Remembered
It is next to impossible not to develop some sort of relationship with your tenants. Some you get to know very well, others not so much but they are still on your radar. When working with any property where eligibility is based on income, you delve into an applicant’s personal finances and inevitably, their personal lives to a certain degree. As you wade through the paperwork together, you’re working towards one goal.
Vinessa Lozano, her fiance, and son were tenants with our company for a short time. I got to know them both through the application process and their tenancy. When often you fight for paperwork, this young couple submitted everything promptly and did the work needed for a home. When children are often allowed to run screaming through my office, these young parents supervised their son who was always well-behaved. This may sound superficial but in this business, paperwork and kids are great indicators for the type of tenants you’ll get.
When I was told a woman was stabbed in Montevideo, I worried it could be one of my tenants or former tenants. The majority of the properties I work with are located in Montevideo. I’ve gotten to know many individuals living in Montevideo through my work when in the past, I’ve known very few. This morning I learned the young woman who was stabbed and killed was Vinessa Lozano.
Vinessa was a sweetheart, this couple was cute together, and their baby boy is a charmer. From someone who knew her only briefly, my condolences and strength to Vinessa’s loved ones. Robyn
