FAQ

Renting a home encompasses a number of different factors, each of which can affect the amount of time it takes our team to find a qualified tenant. The location of your property, size of the home, and monthly rental cost are all factors that influence this equation. The condition of the home also plays a role in determining how long it will take to find an interested tenant. We work diligently around the clock to market your property, respond to inquiries, and process applications for potential applicants, and we strive to complete this process as quickly as possible.

Setting the rental price of your home is a delicate equation. Many property owners are tempted to set their rental cost in direct correlation with their mortgage payments, but ultimately, there are a number of different factors to consider when you make a pricing decision. Our team members will be happy to provide you with their expert opinion, which takes into account the neighborhood where your home sits, recent market activity, and the rental cost of other homes in the area.

Our proven tenant screening process works to weed out problematic tenants before they ever end up living in your property. Of course, challenges can still arise, which we work to address as quickly as possible. In most cases, this won't be necessary, as our commitment to providing excellent service discourages tenants from intentionally damaging the home.

Whenever a problem occurs with a tenant, we do our best to resolve the issue in an amicable fashion. If no resolution is possible, we will take the necessary measures to evict the tenant. This process encompasses several steps, including filing paperwork with the local authorities and attending a court hearing. To learn more, visit our Evictions page.

Maintenance costs are an inevitable expense you will incur over the course of time, but there are several methods you can use to keep your costs low. Firstly, repairs should be taken care of right away. Whenever a tenant notifies us of a problem within the rental home, we dispatch a team to fix the problem as quickly as possible. Quick repairs eliminate the potential for more damage as time goes on. 

In addition to responding to repair requests promptly, we make certain properties are taken care of regularly. This means all homes are thoroughly cleaned upon tenant move-out and cosmetic issues are addressed as necessary. We also recommend proactively replacing aging appliances and damaged materials within the home, as this helps command a higher rent price and can avoid future problems. 

Finally, we always recommend setting aside a portion of your monthly rent for handling eventual repairs and upgrades. Many property owners find themselves scrambling to find the money to cover expenses when they arise. You can avoid this pitfall by planning for such expenses, which will eliminate unwanted surprises in the future.
