Homeowner FAQs
Leasing a home involves many variables, such as time of year, local inventory, condition, and asking price. A sparkling, move-in-ready home does wonders in generating quality applicants much faster!
If we receive any feedback from potential renters while showing your property, we will inform you of it. In case the asking price is not generating the desired response, we will discuss the condition of your property or whether reducing the price might be a good idea.
For tenant-occupied homes, tenants submit a maintenance request via their online tenant portal or our 24-hour maintenance hotline. Our portal allows tenants to submit a work order request by describing the issue and uploading photos when appropriate. From there, we will address repairs at our discretion and will reach out to our clients when appropriate, often based on their specific preferences. Our goal here is full transparency of everything going on with your property. Tenants can also track the status of their requests online.
Typically yes, if an owner has a specific handyman or vendor they wish to service their property, you may certainly use them so long as the coordination/follow up responsibilities are understood. When the property is vacant, owners can handle the repairs needed to make it “rent ready,” if they choose, only caveat being RPM will need to wait until it’s complete in order to initiate the leasing effort.
Our preference is to use our vendors to ensure leasing deadlines are met, as we work with these vendors regularly, they are insured, licensed, reliable, trusted and we know what to expect.
The tenant pays RPM Greater Milwaukee rent, which we deposit into our trust account. Over 80% of our tenants pay rent electronically. Once the funds have cleared the bank, we directly deposit the rent from the current month, minus our fee and any other expenses, into a bank account of your choice. Owner payments are made weekly.
Statistics show the majority of renters have pets. Being open to pets, you will increase demand through the entire prospective rental pool, thus increasing the rental price as we charge an additional pet fee per month. If you would rather play it safe, it is OK to say no pets, particularly in multi-family applications. Please note that emotional support animals are handled per State, Federal, Fair Housing, and any other applicable legal requirements.
Like the real estate market determines sales prices, the local rental market determines rental rates. Three factors contribute to the amount of rent your rental property will receive each month.
- Availability and rental rates of comparable properties
- The features and benefits of your property
- The marketing exposure for your vacancy
After we receive the details of your specific rental property, we will complete a market analysis and set a starting price. We then evaluate all vacancies under our management on a weekly basis, making adjustments in the price or within our marketing strategy to get it rented as quickly as possible.
Getting properties rented efficiently is pivotal to our success and happy client owners; we must generate as many qualified leads as possible. We achieve this by syndicating marketing efforts to the top rental websites (over 20+). We also pre-screen prospective renters and inquire about who will be living with them, the number of adults, the number of minors, and if they have any pets. We also ask how long they have been at their current employment. Our software allows us to follow up and get feedback from every interested party.
Any call into our office is also answered live during business hours, Monday through Friday; this is crucial to get homes rented fast because if they do not speak to someone, they go elsewhere.
Our rigorous tenant screening process usually prevents these types of issues; however, if a problem should arise, we always respond promptly and aggressively. If rent has not been paid at this time, the eviction process begins promptly on the 6th of the month in question.
We work with a local attorney when an unlawful detainer is filed with the court.
All prospective tenants must participate in an extensive screening process. Each adult over 18 years of age must complete an application. First, nationwide background checks and eviction database screenings are completed to examine criminal backgrounds and the sex offender registry. Next, we ensure they qualify financially by reviewing their credit report, verifying employment, and reviewing pay stubs and/or tax returns. Finally, we review their rental history by contacting their previous landlord(s) for references.
