Landlord FAQs
Answers to your frequently asked questions
-
Am I required to make my property available to Section 8?
Property landlords are not automatically required to accept Section 8 tenants unless a local ordinance or housing authority rule mandates it. As a family-owned property manager with decades of landlord experience, we recommend checking local laws and can advise on how Section 8 participation may affect leasing, screening, and long-term returns. -
Are you licensed?
Yes. We are a licensed property management company and operate to industry standards, combining hands-on landlord experience with compliant, transparent processes. -
Can I reach you after hours?
Yes. We provide an emergency after-hours contact for urgent maintenance or safety issues; routine questions and non-emergencies are handled during normal business hours to ensure timely, organized responses. -
Can you put the money directly into my account?
Yes. We offer direct deposit for landlord disbursements so rental income is transferred reliably and on schedule, with clear statements showing collections and deductions. -
Do I get to see the lease or sign it?
Yes. Landlords may review lease agreements prior to execution. We manage lease signing and tenant onboarding on your behalf unless you prefer to be directly involved. -
Do you sell real estate too?
Some property management firms, including ours through affiliated services, can assist with buying or selling when landlords are ready to transition. Let us know your goals and we’ll connect you with qualified sales specialists. -
How is rent collection handled?
We offer multiple payment options—including online portals and traditional methods—enforce lease terms for timely rent, and follow a consistent collections process to protect revenue and occupancy stability. -
How long of a lease do you sign?
We typically use one-year leases as the standard, but we tailor lease terms to market conditions and landlord preferences, including short-term or longer agreements when appropriate. -
How much security deposit do you charge the tenant?
Security deposit amounts follow market norms and local legal requirements and are set based on rent level and tenant qualifications. We’ll recommend an amount that balances tenant affordability with asset protection. -
How soon can you start managing my property?
We can begin managing your property as soon as the management agreement is signed and the property is prepared for leasing. Our onboarding focuses on quick, organized transitions to minimize vacancy time. -
What type of properties do you manage?
We manage a broad range of properties—single-family homes, multi-family units, condos, and select commercial spaces—applying the same hands-on, landlord-first approach to protect value and income. -
What type of reports do I get and how often?
Landlords receive regular financial statements showing rent collected, expenses, maintenance activity, and occupancy status. Additional or customized reports are available on request to support your oversight and tax needs. -
Who holds the tenant security deposit?
Security deposits are held per local law—typically in a separate, designated account—and our handling is fully transparent with records provided to landlords and tenants in accordance with jurisdictional requirements.
