Pay Rent

Our tenant placement service is best for owners who feel that they can manage the home on their own, but just need help finding a quality resident. After a quality resident is successfully placed into your home, we hand the management responsibilities back to you.

why is it important to find a quality tenant?

Likely to remain current on rent

Having appropriate application qualifications can save you several headaches in the long run. Applicants that clearly meet or exceed all of the application criteria will give you a tenant that will be able to afford the property throughout the duration of the lease.

Less property damage

Strict qualification criteria typically attracts renters that will value and take care of the property. Less property damage means fewer maintenance requests, which means more money in your pocket and content residents that are more likely to stay long-term.

Decreased vacancy time

Placing residents that will value and take care of the property will naturally cause less damage. When careful residents leave, only basic wear and tear items need to be addressed. Minimum restoration means that the property will be rent-ready sooner, which decreases the vacancy time.

Rent-ready property

The condition in which we receive tenant placement properties differs slightly from the condition that we can take properties for the full-time management service. In order for us to begin the tenant placement service, you must hand your property over to us rent-ready. Rent-ready is defined as:

  • All appliances in working order
  • Property is completely cleared of all previous occupant’s belongings
  • Property has been deep cleaned
  • Interior paint is in good condition
  • Overall condition of the property meets our standard of excellence

Applicant screening

One of the most important steps in ensuring a pleasant renting experience is finding the right renter. Our application qualifications allow us to select the most highly qualified tenant to place into your home. Our tenant screening service includes:

  • Drafting, reviewing, and signing the lease with the incoming residents
  • Collection of deposit and the first month’s rent
  • Handing over keys
  • Handing over the application(s), signed lease, deposit, and first month’s rent to the owner
