About Us

My name is Anthony Longo, my wife and I are the creators and owners of the company WHOWANTSTORENT^® (WWTR^®). By its name you might think this company helps people find rental housing, but you would be mistaken. In fact, our company helps landlords, managers and property owners identify bad tenants before they rent to them. Bad tenants can be the reason for an increase in crime, complaints from other tenants, property damage, lost revenue, and the headaches and frustration that follow the eviction process.

Let me share with you a little of my background. I am a native of Las Vegas and have lived here my entire life. I have seen and experienced the enormous growth that has occurred in our valley in the last 50 years. A lot has changed in that time and if you are reading this, it is a good chance you are one of the reasons the growth and change continue.

Community Background

I have worked in law enforcement since 1989. I first worked in the jail as a corrections officer, then hit the streets as a police officer. I retired as a sergeant from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department after 25 years of service. In those years of service, I dealt a lot with problem tenants in rental housing. I saw the havoc they caused in the rental communities they lived in which would often spill out into the surrounding neighborhoods.

The police department always worked with management and helped to get rid of tenants who were involved in criminal activity. However, when they were successful, it seemed to be a short-lived event. This was because the same bad tenant would end up moving into a neighboring apartment community across or down the street from where they came from. Here lies the problem, the new landlord would often have no knowledge their new tenant was a bad tenant at another rental community.

There continues to be a lot of discussion on finding a reliable way for landlords, managers and property owners to share information about bad tenants. If a landlord had knowledge of a tenant applicant who had a history of paying their rent late, lease violations, negative police contact and property damage, we all know an honest landlord would not rent to them.

Problem Solved

We have now created a reliable and effective way information about bad tenants can be shared between landlords, managers and property owners. This system will not only identify tenant applicants who have a history of bad behavior and failure to pay rent, but it will also show if a tenant applicant is in the process of being evicted from their current residence. YES, you read that correctly. We can provide documentation if your tenant applicant is in the process of being evicted.

Another key component of this system is putting the prospective landlord in touch with the tenant applicants current or previous landlord they did not list on their application. Know the real rental history and behavior of a tenant applicant before they become a member of your rental community by using WHOWANTSTORENT.COM
