Benefits of Hiring a Property Manager
From finding qualified tenants, signing a lease that will hold up in court, dealing with a burst pipe at 3 AM or even navigating the unforgiving legal waters of evicting a non-paying tenant; managing a rental can be a trying task. If you’ve decided it may be time to hire a property manager, Accurate is here to help.
What We Offer
1) Better Qualified Tenants
Through criminal, credit and income checks we find the best tenants for your rental. Skipping these checks before signing a lease could let through tenants who aren’t a good fit for your property, leading to costly evictions. You can never guarantee that a tenant will work out, but taking these steps greatly increases those odds.
2) More Privacy
Accurate will be the face for your tenants to talk to and to report maintenance issues to. You don’t have to worry about waking up to a midnight call for an emergency water leak, or receiving less than friendly emails after sending out a late notice. We never give out your contact information without explicit instruction to do so.
3) Legal, Courtroom Tested Forms
We’re well versed in the inside of a courtroom and what the law and judges require. You don’t have to worry about a lease getting thrown out due to an illegal clause, or an eviction case being delayed because the notice provided wasn’t proper. When it comes to the law, the smallest mistakes can result in costly judgements, you can rely us to avoid that.
4) Compliance With Laws, Codes, Regulations
Knowing the ins and outs of city, county, state and federal laws concerning rental properties can be overwhelming. We’ll make sure you stay in compliance with all of these so a 3 letter organization is never sending you a fine.
