Property management agreement
What's important — and what a property management agreement can't tell you.
Ease of cancellation
How easy it is to cancel shows a company's confidence in its service. You shouldn't be tied down or penalized for leaving. Our management agreement is month-to-month with no termination fees or penalties.
Transparency of fees
You should know exactly what you'll pay and when. Our fee structure is published on our pricing page.
Reserve funding
Your manager should hold a reserve in a trust account to cover expenses before or after rent arrives each month. Reserve amounts vary, typically from a few hundred dollars up to one month's rent.
Timely disbursement of funds
Know how quickly you'll receive rent. We close our accounting cycle monthly and disburse funds by secure ACH transfer directly to your bank account.
Maintenance protocols
Your manager should handle repairs promptly without burdening you, and the agreement should state when your approval is needed. We handle routine repairs under the approval limit in your agreement.
Guarantees
Guarantees can't prevent non-payment or damage, but they show how a company responds. See our Eviction Protection page for details.
Eviction handling
If an eviction becomes necessary, your manager should run the entire legal process, including preparation and service of documents. We oversee it from start to finish.
What the agreement can't tell you
An agreement outlines the legal relationship, but not expertise, integrity or professionalism. You're entering a relationship — you should trust the people caring for your property.
