Your costs are as follows:
10% property management on all rent collected.
Rental commission of 50% of a full month’s rent.
$25 to have an attorney review and sign lease.
$150 maintenance reserve.
We manage sales tax –paid by short-term tenant.
” How$much$do$you$charge$for$a$renewal/extension?
30% of a full month’s rent (minimum $350).
This is not mandatory as our leases simply stay in-place if both owner and tenant agree relying on a clause converting the
initial one-year term to a “month-to-month” agreement with owner and tenant having 15-day notice rights.

We use subcontractors for maintenance and repairs. We have local, reliable and honest contractors.

” And$are$there$extra$hidden$costs?
These are not hidden as they are spelled out in the Property Management Agreement:
Should your property not be rented and you are requesting work items, there might be a 10% surcharge on your
requested items. If that is the case, you will be made aware of the surcharge when you make your request.
Should you authorize major work such as hurricane/storm damage, a replacement roof or other major contractor type
work, the surcharge applies.
Normal maintenance while rented is included without a surcharge. Just the actual cost is paid from rent proceeds without
an overhead charge.
The agreement states “when you authorize” for the surcharge work. Normal maintenance—no surcharge.
