Maintenance:

We do not charge a fee for maintenance or inflate maintenance expenses. The cost of the repair plus labor depending on the request is what you pay. We contract with local vendors who must be licensed and insured and can obtain multiple estimates depending on the scope of the work. We also set a repair limit of $250 per unit. Should a repair exceed that amount, we will obtain your permission before proceeding. This means you are always in control and are able to make any changes you may need to the maintenance plan while having the ability to approve or deny larger expenses.

Your tenants will have an online portal where they can place service requests and a 24-hour answering service for after-hours emergencies. These services are included in your monthly management fee and offer comfort and peace of mind for your tenants, creating an open and viable channel of communication that will help to strengthen the relationship between yourself and your tenants, allowing you to have an amicable and friendly rental period. This is especially valuable since the key to a happy rental experience is curating a good bond with your clients and tenants!

Evictions: $0

While evictions are rare these days, they do occur. Local Dwelling will file all documents with the court, represent you in court on the day of the hearing, file the writ of possession and if necessary, meet the Constable and set out the tenant’s belongings. There is no additional cost for this. *If it is necessary to hire an attorney in extenuating circumstances, those fees will be the landlord expense but require approval from you prior to moving forward with them. Those situations are very rare but do sometimes occur.

No one wants to think they will have to one day file an eviction or give the notice to vacate but things do happen and when times are tough, its good to have a team at the ready to handle everything quickly and securely. Our expert properties management company staff members are always prepared to provide any documentation or statement required to get your property vacated and ready to host the next tenant, should the need occur. We are here to serve you and will always have your back, even when times are tough and a little uncertain. Let us handle the heavy lifting!
