Our Comprehensive Services
 

Tenant Placement as Part of Full-Service Management

At First Rent, tenant placement is included as part of our full-service property management program. We market your property, screen applicants, prepare lease documents, coordinate move-in, and support a compliant leasing process designed to place qualified tenants and reduce vacancy.

  • Rental Pricing Guidance: We recommend a competitive rental rate using market conditions and comparable properties.
  • Professional Marketing: We market the property with professional photos, listing copy, and online syndication to major rental websites.
  • Showings and Applicant Processing: We coordinate property showings, process applications, and move qualified applicants through the approval workflow.
  • Tenant Screening: We screen applicants using consistent qualification standards, including credit, criminal and eviction history, income verification, and rental history or references.
  • Lease Administration: We prepare lease agreements, handle lease execution, and coordinate renewals, extensions, modifications, and related leasing documentation as part of ongoing management.
  • Move-In Coordination: We coordinate the collection of move-in funds, key delivery, and move-in documentation, including condition reporting.
  • Compliance: We follow Fair Housing requirements and leasing procedures designed to support consistent, compliant tenant placement.

 

Ongoing Management as Part of Full-Service Property Management

Once a qualified tenant is placed, First Rent continues with the day-to-day management of the property. We handle rent collection, owner reporting, maintenance coordination, inspections, lease administration, and turnover support to keep the property operating smoothly and professionally.

  • Rent Collection and Owner Disbursements: We collect rent, manage deposits, and process owner disbursements through our standard accounting procedures.
  • Owner Statements and Portal Access: Owners receive monthly itemized statements and secure online access to financial records, invoices, and transaction history.
  • Lease Administration and Enforcement: We manage renewals, extensions, modifications, notices, and lease enforcement as needed.
  • Maintenance Coordination: We coordinate routine and emergency maintenance and work with qualified vendors to keep the property in good operating condition.
  • Property Surveys and Inspections: We perform exterior surveys, scheduled interior walkthroughs, and renewal-related inspections as part of ongoing management.
  • Turnover Coordination: We coordinate inspections, cleaning, repairs, and rent-ready preparation between tenancies.
