Leasing

You can expect that we will place our attractive "Home for Rent" yard sign on your property (for non-HOA properties) immediately after listing your rental home with us. Within 48 hours of signing a management agreement, unless otherwise scheduled, we will advertise your rental home on multiple national (worldwide) websites. Your property will be available for showings 7 days a week, from 7 AM to 7 PM, to all pre-qualified prospective renters until it is leased.

All rental applications will be subject to a thorough screening process, including:

• A full credit report on each adult applicant,
• Verification of former landlord references,
• Verification of employment or income,
• A nationwide criminal background check on the applicant.

We will lease your property at the asking rent amount (as outlined in your management agreement) or higher. We will not lease your property at a lower amount without first obtaining your approval. Once a rental applicant is approved, we will complete the lease agreement for your records. Additionally, we will photograph and/or conduct a videotaped move-in property inspection. You will be notified by our company when your property has been leased and when it is going vacant.

Lease Renewals

While in Florida, we are permitted to negotiate one-year leases; we recognize that vacancy, repairs, and leasing commissions are the landlord's enemy! We work throughout the lease period to keep your tenant happy. Positive tenant interactions help ensure lease renewals. After all, the number one reason tenants leave their rental is due to perceived poor service for the rent they pay each month.

We will attempt to renew the resident's lease at least 30 days before the lease expiration date. If possible, we will renew the lease for another year at the same or a slightly higher rent amount to help keep your P&L positive while mitigating the effects of annual real estate tax and insurance increases. We will not renew the lease at a lower rent amount unless we have received specific permission to do so.

If the current resident elects not to renew, we will place a "For Rent" sign on the property and begin showing it. We will either renew the resident's lease agreement or re-rent your property to a new tenant unless we receive written instructions from you not to renew the lease or re-rent the property.
