These are the operating standards we hold ourselves to on every property we manage. They describe how we do the work. They are not the terms of your management agreement.
What this page is not. This page does not set fees, allocate money, grant authority, or change any obligation. Those terms live in your signed Property Management Agreement and its Standard Terms and Conditions. If anything on this page ever conflicts with your signed agreement, the signed agreement controls.
Maintenance and repairs
How work orders reach us
Tenants submit work orders through the resident portal, which timestamps and logs every request. Requests submitted by phone are entered by our staff on the tenant's behalf. Every work order is written down. Nothing is handled verbally without a record.
Response targets
| Category | Our target response |
|---|---|
| Emergency | Acknowledged immediately, vendor dispatched same day |
| Urgent (no A/C, no heat, major leak) | Acknowledged within 4 business hours, vendor scheduled within 24 hours |
| Routine | Acknowledged within 24 business hours, vendor scheduled within 3 business days |
| Cosmetic or deferred | Batched to the next scheduled visit or turn |
Response targets describe our scheduling commitment, not a guaranteed completion date. Parts availability, vendor capacity, tenant access, and weather affect completion.
What counts as an emergency
- Fire or flood — tenants are instructed to call 911 first
- No heat when the interior temperature is below 45°F
- No air conditioning when the interior temperature is above 85°F
- No electricity, no water, or no usable toilet
- Any condition presenting a risk of injury or of appreciable property damage
Owner approval
We seek your written approval before any expenditure over $250 for a single item or a related series of items with the same vendor. Emergencies are the exception: we act first to prevent injury or damage, and we make every reasonable effort to reach you before we spend.
Vendors
- Licensed and insured where the trade requires it, with current certificates on file
- Vendor invoices passed through to you at actual cost, with no markup
- Competitive bids on projects over $1,000
- Invoices reviewed against the scope before payment
- Warranty work pursued with the original vendor before a new one is engaged
Inspections
Every property is inspected at least once per tenancy. Each inspection produces a written report with photographs, delivered to your owner portal.
- Move-in. Documented condition report; tenants submit their own within 7 days.
- Renewal. Interior and exterior walkthrough covering upkeep, damage, and deferred maintenance, with at least 24 hours' notice to the tenant.
- Move-out. Compared against the move-in record to separate damage from ordinary wear.
- Optional quarterly. Available on request.
Leasing and marketing
- Rental price analysis before listing, based on current comparable rents
- Professional listing photos and syndication through our listing network
- Showings scheduled and conducted by our leasing staff
- Applications processed in the order received
- Owner updated on showing activity and application volume during vacancy
Our published tenant screening criteria are on our Rental Standards page. The criteria in effect on the date you sign are provided with your management agreement.
Reporting and money

- Owner distribution initiated within 10 business days of the close of the collection period
- Year-end statement delivered by January 31
- Owner portal access to statements, invoices, leases, and inspection reports, 24/7
- Tenant security deposits held in a separate broker trust account, never commingled with operating funds, reconciled monthly
Communication
- Owner calls and emails returned within one business day
- Named point of contact for every owner
- Notice to you before any non-emergency expenditure over $250
- Notice to you when a tenant goes delinquent, when a notice is served, and when a case is filed
