  1. Why should I use a professional to manage my home?

    While the reasons our clients choose professional management vary, here are some
    of the key reasons many people elect professional management over
    self-management:

    • We handle maintenance and emergency repairs, allowing you to sleep at night.
    • We enforce collection of rents and serve the proper notices upon failure to
      pay.
    • We understand and apply the correct federal, state, and local laws, keeping
      you and your investment out of trouble.
    • We know the local market, have an extensive network of contacts, and have
      online advertising resources available to maximize exposure. This allows us to
      effectively market your rental property to prospective residents.

  2. Can I choose to disallow pets, smokers, large families, etc.?

    We comply fully with the Fair Housing Act. This means that you can not choose to disallow anyone that is a member of a protected class under the act. You can choose to disallow pets and not permit smoking in your home, but you cannot deny a service animal. If you have additional questions on the specifics of the Fair Housing Act, please see our fair housing page.

  3. Do you provide me with a report of activity on my property?

    Yes, we will provide you an online report of rent and other income received,
    maintenance, repairs, and other expenses incurred. All you do is log on to your personal, secure account at americanrealtytenants.com
