This is a crucial step in the rental process. Experienced landlords emphasize the significance of thorough due diligence in screening potential tenants to avoid costly mistakes. A comprehensive screening involves not only background and credit checks but also an evaluation of employment history, previous rental records, and details regarding living arrangements, such as family and pets.

This is another essential task. Units must undergo a meticulous cleaning process before a new tenant moves in, and any outstanding maintenance issues must be promptly addressed. Local regulations may require inspections, particularly if the unit has been unoccupied for an extended period.

These include rent details, security deposits, maintenance agreements, disclosures (such as lead paint disclosures), policies on late rent, and move-out instructions.

We handle rent collection, apply late fees when necessary, and promptly notify landlords of any payment issues that violate the lease agreement.

This encompasses handling routine tasks like changing light bulbs to more significant projects such as repairing burst pipes, eliminating pests, or addressing fire damage. Timely response is essential, often requiring the assistance of licensed professionals.

Property upkeep, including tasks like snow removal and lawn care, contributes to curb appeal and overall safety.

Compliance with state and local laws is imperative, detailing inspection schedules, maintenance protocols, and grounds care to prevent the property from being deemed a “nuisance.”

1. Marketing and advertising to attract quality tenants.
