In building a great rapport and long lasting relationship with our customers, it is important that each party understands exactly what is expected of the other. Our primary objective is to attain the goals and objectives of our customers and exceeding their expectations.

We believe that by familiarizing you with the process of how we lease and manage your rental property, we can avoid surprises that could occur later on. It is important that you realize that we will move forward with our administrative property management process as outlined herein, unless you otherwise direct us in writing. Therefore it is to your benefit to review and understand the following services that are provided by Premier Property Management.

The following is an outline of some of these benefits and services that you as our customer can expect us to automatically provide and institute on your behalf.

      • A credit report on each adult rental applicant

G. You can expect that we will conduct a "Move-In" property inspection and complete our detailed property inspection data sheets of your property. We also generally videotape each property to document move-in condition as well.

H. You can expect to be notified by our company that your property has been leased. A copy of the lease agreement is available, once all parties have properly executed it and the residents have taken possession.

I. You can expect that a minimum of one month rent and a security deposit equal to one month rent will be collected prior to a tenant moving into the unit.

A. You can expect that we will attempt to renew the residents lease at least 60 days prior to the termination date of their lease agreement.

C. You can expect that we will begin advertising and showing the property for lease as outlined in the leasing section above, in the event that the current tenants are not renewing their lease.

At Premier Property Management, we do not tolerate delinquent payment of rent. We explain this policy to new residents in order to avoid any misunderstandings that might arise later. Consequently, we are extremely aggressive in the collection of rent. Consequently, you can expect that we will make every effort to collect rents timely as outlined in the frequently asked questions.

At Premier Property Management, our property management software is the top property management software in the industry.

D. You can expect to have access to your rental account each month via our website.

E. You can expect that in the last month of a tenants lease, we will hold funds in our escrow account to protect you by ensuring that adequate funds are available to make your rental home "rent-ready", thereby ensuring faster lease ups and less vacancy time.

We strive to always have the best pricing and be able to pass on the savings to our clients. We believe in the cost savings approach.

Rental homes must be properly maintained in order to preserve the value of the property and maintain a positive relationship with the residents. Florida also has laws that require landlords to comply with certain basic maintenance and repair items.

A. You can expect that Premier Property Management will not affect repairs to your property in excess of $200.00, without first obtaining your approval. NOTE: This excludes repairs deemed by manager as emergency repairs or repairs that are required to be effected to bring your property into compliance by law, governmental building, zoning, safety and municipal codes, or the restrictive and protective covenants of your homeowners association or repairs that in managers sole judgments are necessary for the safety of the tenants or your property. Manager shall proceed with these repairs and bring property into compliance, subject to funds being available in property owner’s account.

B. You can expect that if your property is vacant, we will address items necessary to improve the property's marketability to prospective renters. This means faster lease ups and less vacancy for you. Examples would include: lawn service, carpet cleaning, maid service, pool service, utilities and painting when necessary. In the event that any of these repairs were due to the former rental residents tenancy, you can expect that we will spend all of their security deposit (allowed by Florida law) first (not your money) to put your property back into rent ready condition.

C. You can expect that we will institute minor maintenance & repair items ($200.00 or less) as requested by rental applicants to secure a lease to quality residents for your rental property. To avoid the possibility of major liability to you we also change the locks between each tenancy.

D. You can expect that during the residents tenancy, we will institute minor maintenance & repairs ($200.00 or less) when deemed by us to be necessary for the preservation of your property and/or the continuation of the residents tenancy, usually occurring at the renewal of their lease. If the property owner provides manager with third party service contracts or maintenance warranties then manager shall contact said provider for covered repairs at a charge of $25. Otherwise, manager shall assume that none exist.

E. You can expect that we will only use repairmen, vendors and tradesmen that are properly licensed and insured to handle the type of work being performed on your property and pass on any discount or savings directly to our clients.

F. You can expect to receive copies of the original invoices of all repairmen, vendors and tradesmen employed to conduct repairs on your property.
