Towson Property Management

The decision to rent your home is not easy. Most landlords are either members of the military facing deployment, a homeowner who cannot sell a house and is thinking about renting it out, or a real estate investor with lots of experience and a portfolio of properties. Whatever type of landlord you are, you need expertise to do it right.

Being a landlord is a fulltime job. You have to be prepared to approach it that way. Here are some of the things required of you:

  • Pricing your home at a rent consistent with the market value and avoids long term vacancy
  • Marketing your property in the right places.
  • Compliance with all federal, state and housing laws in your advertising
  • Screening applicants who are serious about renting your home
  • Showing your property at times that are convenient for potential renters
  • Stay in contact with prospective tenants after they have viewed the property
  • Doing extensive background checks on applicants
  • Writing a lease that is legally enforceable
  • Collect and handle security deposits, placing them in escrow accounts
  • Inspect and document the condition of the property before move in
  • Understand and follow all landlord and tenant laws
  • Respond to tenant repair requests and maintenance issues 24/7
  • Schedule vendors for repair work
  • Making payments to vendors for completed work
  • Collecting monthly rent payments and chasing down late rent
  • Keeping an accounting system of rent, expenses and income
  • Handle problem tenants who cause damage or violate the lease or HOA requirements
  • Execute evictions when necessary
  • Regular inspections to ensure the tenant is taking care of your property and following the lease
  • Collecting back rent from former tenants
  • Completing a move out inspection
  • Return the security deposit to tenants within required number of days
  • Get your home ready during the vacancy for the next tenant
  • Start from the beginning with a new tenant

Our goal is to provide our landlords with a report so comprehensive that it is as if the landlord actually visited the property themselves. Our Evaluations are completed at the beginning and end of each lease term. Additional evaluations are completed approximately every 4-8 months and more evaluations are available at an additional expense.

    Marketing your home is the first step to finding a well qualified tenant rent your home. We put a lot of emphasis in marketing your property. The marketing of your home is included in our tenant placement fee.

  • Tenant Screening

    Tenant screening is the most important aspect of renting your property. Finding a tenant is easy; however, what sets us apart is that we have very strict and high standards for placing only the highest quality and qualified tenants in our managed properties. As a result of our due diligence, our company has an industry leading eviction rate of less than 1% all time! Additionally, we have one of the best security deposit return rates in the industry. Not only do your tenants pay rent on time, but they also do very minimal/if any damage at all to your home while they rent it.

    To ensure we have the best tenant possible rent your home, we utilize our proven “Perfect10ant” verification system. The “Perfect10ant” includes:

    • Credit score
    • Income Verification
    • Debt to Income ratio
    • ID verification
    • Past Evictions
    • Address verification
    • Interview previous Landlords
    • Rental History
    • Criminal History
    • Employment History
  • Security Deposits

    Navigating security deposit laws and regulations can be tough. We will collect the security deposit prior to allowing the tenant access to your property and hold it in escrow during the lease term. Upon move out, we coordinate repairs as needed and return the security deposit balance to the tenant minus any costs for damage that exceed what is legally considered “normal wear and tear.”
  • Lease Preparation

    Our team will prepare and administer a lease on your behalf upon your acceptance of an application. Both the landlord and tenant sign the lease; which will be uploaded to your client portal for access. We utilize a tightly locked and analyzed lease provided by our attorneys to best serve all parties involved in the lease. The lease preparation and administration will be handled by us so you can just sit back and relax!
