Property Eligibility

In order to qualify for the program, each unit must be in great condition and zoned to an “A” or “B” ranked school according to the Texas School Guide. If you are not sure of the school your property is zoned to NestQuest can help to determine this with you. Each landlord must also agree to the following: 

  •  If the unit fails the inspection, then the landlord is responsible for making any changes that will enable the unit to pass inspection

  • Disregard any history of financial evictions or low credit score when screening prospective tenants. Behavioral evictions and criminal background checks can be included in the screening process.

  • Communicate directly with NestQuest staff about any maintenance issues and lease terms. NestQuest staff in turn communicates any necessary information to the tenants.

  • NestQuest do not currently operate with Single Family Homes.
