Our Main Objective:

Our objective is to operate our client's properties at or near 100% occupancy and at the highest achievable rent while maintaining the integrity of the asset. As your Property Manager, we serve as a knowledgeable liaison between you and your tenants handling all of the day to day responsibilities of property management so that you, the property owner, can relax!

Getting Started:

Our free rental analysis can be forwarded to the owner showing pertinent management & leasing information on the subject property or properties. We provide recommendations regarding repairs, appearance, marketing, and rental amounts. In order to begin management of the property, we tour your property and possibly meet the owner. Upon the signing of a property management agreement, a $300 owner's reserve is required. (May vary depending on the subject properties and their requirements.) If the owner lives out of town, all paper work can be handled through DocuSign.

 

Attracting Qualified Tenants:

The most effective advertisements utilized in the Real Estate market today are the Multiple Listing Service and the Internet. We list all homes, whether for lease or for sale, on the Austin Association of Realtors MLS system giving all area Realtors information on your home(s). The homes are then automatically placed on the AustinHomeSearch.com website (where the public can view homes listed on MLS). An attention-getting and eye-catching yard sign is utilized. To attract prospective tenants, we use text messaging technology displayed on the sign instructing passersby how to receive your home's information on their cell phone.

Leasing Services:

The Austin Landlord Property Management performs a four-point background check on each applicant which includes a Credit Check, Employment & Income Verifications, Rental References, and Criminal History reports on all occupants 18 years old or older.

 

Maintenance and Repair Requests:

Owners are notified within 24 hours if any requests are made on the home. Residential Service Contracts (example: Old Republic) are welcomed but if the response time is not adequate an outside vendor will be contracted. Only licensed contractors are called to make repairs on major air conditioning, heating, electrical and plumbing repairs. Property owners are notified of any repair that exceeds $300, except in cases of emergency.

                                                                                                                                                                                                   Negotiating Tenant Renewals:                                                                                                                                           

Renewal leases are negotiated with the owner's best interest in mind. Renewal rates are set based on market conditions, quality of the tenant, type and marketability of the property, and time of year. Owners will always approve any renewals and their rates.
 

Collecting Rents & Security Deposits:

All rents are paid by the tenant to The Austin Landlord Management by the 3rd of the month. Any expenses are deducted and the remaining proceeds are sent to the owner or deposited into the owner bank account as early as the 10th and not later then 15th of the current month! The owner keeps a $300 reserve fund for expenses in the trust account (May vary depending on property/properties & requirements). Tenants are required to pay a security deposit equal to one month's rent in most cases. These deposits are kept in the trust account so that any tenant deposit refund can be sent in a timely manner at the end of their lease. By Texas law, a security deposit itemization and any applicable security deposit refund must be made within 30 days after the move-out date. Tenants who have not paid their rent by the 3rd of the month are sent a notice to vacate. Although evictions are rare, The Austin Landlord Management Company will arrange for the tenant to be removed when necessary using the eviction courts system usually within 45 days. Our late charge policy is strictly enforced.
