Initial Property Inspection:
Once the management package is completed and returned to us, we will
schedule to go out to the property and perform the initial inspection.
During this time, we will evaluate the condition, appearance and overall
readiness for showing to prospective tenants. If necessary, we will make
a list of items that need attention as well as an estimate of the cost.
It is our goal to have a property ready for move-in upon showing to
applicants. This benefits you and the new tenant in the long run. The
yard sign will be placed, pictures taken and advertising will begin.
Once the property is inspected, we will set up utilities and lawn care
for the time it is vacant unless they are already being handled. It is
important to keep up the appearance, power and water for potential tenants
viewing the property. You will be responsible for these expenses during the
vacant period. Gas is not necessary. We will winterize the unit in the
winter months by draining the water lines if possible. If attention is
needed at the property, funds will have to be provided in advance to
cover the costs.
-
Tenant Screening:
It is our sincere goal to find the best qualified tenant for any property:
-
During our screening we verify current rental history and verify
the tenant has a no recent judgment, collection or eviction from
a previous landlord.
-
The tenant makes an application on-line at our third party property
management credit and legal background check. We screen all credit
and criminal background history for our clients.
-
We verify current employment of at least 12 months, and we require
a gross income of at least 3 times the rent. We have found that
these 3 items provide a sound starting point for qualifying a tenant.
-
Lease Agreement:
LSI Property Management Inlet Beach uses the Florida Association of
Realtors (FAR) lease Agreements. All existing tenants will remain on
their current lease until it expires and then renewed on the FAR lease.
See lease agreement.
-
Deposits:
All tenants are required to pay a security deposit and separate pet
deposit if applicable. There are no exceptions to this requirement!
All deposits are held in a separate trust account and not released
to the owner or tenant until the final walk through inspection is complete.
-
Rent Collection:
Rent is due on the 1st of each month. If prior arrangements have not been made with management,
all non-paid rents will be addressed on the 2nd. We use phone calls,
emails, property visits and letters to contact the tenants. If contact
cannot be made, then the Eviction process will begin around the 5th.
Owner statements are e-mailed on the 15th with rent proceeds received
or explanations. We make every effort to collect rent and reduce
turnover by working with tenants when necessary. We have an obligation
to collect rent on time and prevent vacancies.
-
Legal Action:
It is our goal to attempt to avoid the process of eviction if possible.
If the need arises, we will file warrants, appear in court and handle
the eviction process from start to finish. Since these are additional
expenses to the owner, we make every effort to avoid an eviction. We
give every opportunity within reason for the tenant to clear up any
unpaid balances.
-
Maintenance Process:
LSI Property Management Inlet Beach provides full-service reliable
maintenance when the need arises. Every effort to reduce cost and
provide reliable service is made. There is a 24 hour maintenance line
on the phone system for emergencies. All maintenance is coordinated
through LSI Property Management Division and
not an outside party. We manage the process and the prices by getting
bids and only using vendors who are licensed and insured. We are
experienced in working with contracts and work diligently to get
the best price and quality for the work done,. Established relationships
with vendors have enabled us to have great success in maintaining a
property at reasonable prices. Maintenance is an integral part of the
relationship among tenants, owners and management.
-
Sale of Property:
As with any property, there may come a time for you to consider selling.
As a full service real estate brokerage, we can list, market, and sell
your property as well. The relationship we have with our tenants may make
the transition smoother for all parties involved.
-

We are a member of the First Multiple Listing Service which covers
the complete Inlet Beach area. We list your property in the MLS to
make it available to all of the Florida licensed real estate broker members.
