832-562-3600 - Find Highly Qualified Tenants: A residential property management company uses various screening programs and systems to screen the applicant’s credit report, criminal background, employment verification, and rental verification. If they have a pet or animal, they also must be screened.
- Long-term Tenants: The biggest expense for a landlord Is tenant turnover. The costs are high. Qualified Tenants tend to stay longer on average, and a qualified property management company should know how long their average tenant stays in one of their homes.
- Maintenance: Experienced property management companies have screened and vetted their contractors and vendors. They tend to give the landlords better pricing than the landlord could get on this own because the contractors work on volume, and they know not to take advantage of the landlords, or they will not get any more work.
- Evictions: Evictions are a daunting task that no landlord wants to be involved in. Your Property management company will take complete control of the situation and go through the necessary process to legally remove the tenant from the property.
- Know the Law: The Landlord/Tenant laws are constantly changing, and only a professional property management company is trained to keep up with the most recent legal updates.
