Owner FAQ

We will be ready within the first 24 hours after contract is signed by all owners listed on the Tax Records to the property.

Our goal is to find suitable tenants as soon as possible. In order to do this, we use various advertising platforms. Typically, RentEasy can find tenants within about 3 weeks. Condition and price of property weigh heavily on market time. Our Expert leasing agents will work with you to make sure both condition and price are within market standards.

Tenants need to pay the application fee. We use this fee to enable credit checks, background check, rental history checks/verification, and employment/income verification.

We'll use practical tools and result-oriented strategies to determine the proper rent. Among other practices, we conduct deep research and market comparisons. All the gathered knowledge allows us to create highly competitive rent prices.

Yes, we screen all the prospective tenants. The screening process covers a variety of tests. These include criminal history, credit checks, and employment verification.

If the property is newly being converted to a rental you will want to check with your insurance provider to see if you will need a “ Landlord policy”. Typically homeowner’s insurance is a different insurance that may not cover vacant properties or rentals. All rental properties should have adequate insurance with RentEasy listed as “additional interest”

First, your tenant needs to successfully get through the screening process. When that goes well, they are obligated to pay the full security deposit. After the security deposit is received we will sign our lease with the tenants. Tenants will then take the signed lease and start to work on utilities being transferred into their name to start as of lease effective date.

After the tenant gives proper notice and moves out, we inspect the property's condition thoroughly. After move out inspection if there are items that need to be fixed or replaced due to tenant neglect these items will be noted and deducted from the security deposit. If there are no damages or repairs required upon the tenant's move out the security deposit will be sent back to the tenant in full. RentEasy will communicate with the owner during this process to provide updates.

Included in tenant placement we provide for 3 inspections. You will receive a move in inspection which is documentation and pictures of interior and exterior of property. A six month of tenancy inspection, and a move out inspection which is again documentation and pictures of both interior and exterior of the property.

When tenants move into your property, all tenant utilities will be in their name. Different situations can occur with association provided utilities from dues. These utilities will need to be discussed with your leasing agent at time of property management agreement to develop the plan for these utilities.

Our lease agreements contain strict rules about rent payment delays and failures. Tenants have to quickly pay the rent after receiving the notice. Continuing payment default results in eviction.

We will repair all damage using our licensed and professional partners. Before the repairs begin, we'll inform you about the details. When we get your permission, we'll begin the work at the earliest moment possible. All maintenance and unexpected repairs are done using high-quality vendors at their best price.

You are able to access a multitude of reports when you use our owner portal. These reports include regular statements for income and expenses.

We forbid smoking in all the rental properties. If we find evidence of smoking, then the tenants have to pay for any relevant damages.

Yes! We have found that most tenants have a dog/s or cat/s. It is a good idea to allow pets to reduce market time! If you do not allow pets you are significantly reducing the amount of people who may be interested in renting your property. Included with tenant placement and property management service RentEasy provides a great Pet Damage Assurance product! If there is pet damage above and beyond the security deposit when tenant moves out RentEasy will cover up to $1,000 in damage from pets. Rent Easy will also include an extra inspection for any properties that have pets. Typically, the additional pet damage inspection will occur in month 2 of tenancy.
