10% of total rent collected per unit. *We do not charge a fee when a unit is vacant. You are not making money during a vacancy, so why should we? But we will continue to manage and care for the property until a new tenant is secured. (Discounts offered for multiple properties)
Our accounting and maintenance team will set up your customized account and send you the link to your online portal as soon as we begin our management contract.

At Local Dwelling, we want each client to be so happy with our services, they never want to leave us. In the event you do, we will not charge a fee to terminate. We simply ask that you pay any outstanding invoices or balances on your account and give us a 30-day notice to properly ensure the transition of your account. Ideally, our services will be seen as an asset and you will feel comfortable trusting our expertise and utilizing our team to assist you in growing your rental property’s reach but, should you decide you would prefer a different route, we are glad to have had the opportunity to work with you and wish you the best.
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.
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.
$350 per executed renewal of 12 months or longer. We handle all of the paperwork and filings for lease renewals and screen any tenant concerns or requests to be approved by you later, making the process quick and easy. We also update any of your changes to the leasing agreement and make any necessary documentation needs available, too.
