Owner FAQs
Why should I choose Property Sure?
At Property Sure, we treat each and every property that we work with as if it were our own investment. We treat our owners, tenants and clients the way we would want to be treated if we were in their shoes. Property Sure is not only a full service property management company, but we also offer stand-alone maintenance and construction services. In addition, we also offer snow removal, lawn care and general property upkeep. Contact us today to find out what Property Sure can do for you!
How Do I Determine The Rental Amount?
The competition determines the rental amount. As experts in the field, we know the market and the competitive rental ranges for your home. If the home is marketed too high the home will be vacant much longer. If it is marketed too low, it may be one or two years before the price becomes competitive again.
What sets Property Sure apart from other property management companies?
We recognize that your real estate property, whether it is personal or for investment purposes, is potentially one of the largest investments you may ever make. We pride ourselves on treating your investment with the attention and detail it deserves. Unlike some other property management companies, Property Sure offers full maintenance, construction, lawn care and snow removal options that allow us to maintain your property from start to finish. We work closely with our clients to understand their goals, needs and dreams for their property and then work together as a partnership to accomplish those goals.
Why should I hire a professional property management company to manage my rental property?

- Utilize resources to avoid potential credit risk tenants
- Track income, expenses and report on the overall condition of your property and it’s performance
- Negotiate rental agreements
- Collect rent, pay bills and handle payments so you don’t have to
- Comply with federal, state and local laws

When Are Monthly Funds Distributed?
It is Property Sure policy that the owner receives his/her check and owner statement no later than the 20th of the following month, remitting the amount collected during the previous month, less disbursements made on behalf of and for the account of the owner.
What Are The Policies Regarding Pets?
Statistics indicate that 75% of renters own pets. Restricting pets reduces the number of available qualified residents. Pets should be screened and pet references checked out. In general, a well-behaved cat or dog causes less wear and tear on a home and yard then a young child.
What About Smokers?
It is common to restrict smoking inside the property. This does not significantly reduce the marketability of the property.
Is It Possible To Refuse To Rent To Families With Children?
In federal, state, and local Fair Housing regulations children come under the protective class of “familiar status”. It is unlawful to discriminate against children in any way.
Is A Security Deposit Collected Up Front?
It is our practice to collect a security deposit up front. A security deposit can be used for any owner costs and damages after a resident vacates your property. The security deposit is held in a resident trust account as required by state real estate regulations.
Will I know what is going on with my property?
Property Sure believes it is important for owners and tenants to always know what is going on with their property or residence. We offer 24 hour online access through our portals, which can be seen on the homepage and accessed through our website. Owners can check on maintenance requests, view prior owner statements, and submit their own requests, plus much more! Tenants have the ability to pay rent online, submit maintenance requests and submit feedback about the level of service or condition of their property. We feel the more informed an owner is about their property, the more proactive we can be as partners to ensure your investment is achieving its maximum ROI
Can Property Sure provide their services for properties outside of those they manage?
Absolutely! Property Sure offers a wide variety of services that are both included in property management and are also offered as stand-alone services for clients who need a variety of things for their property but not necessarily the full-scale of property management. Of course, we feel that our complete management services are the best way to ensure your real estate investment is performing to its highest ability and achieving its maximum ROI, but we definitely help clients in any way we can. From basic handy man services, lawn care services and snow removal, to a full construction division that can help with even the largest projects!ar.
How Are Repairs Handled?
Property Sure has a full maintenance staff that handles almost all requests. If a job requires a skilled trade, Property Sure refers to our growing and vetted list of contractors. Maintenance requests can be submitted online, over the phone or in-person by owners or tenants. Maintenance approval requirements and owner preferences are outlined in our contracts. Contact us today to learn more about these details!
What Happens If The Resident Leaves Before The End Of The Lease?
The resident is responsible for the rent for the term of the lease. If residents leave before the termination date they will forfeit their security deposit and will be charged for balance of the rent due.
How often are inspections done at my property?
Property Sure offers inspections monthly, but requires inspections be done quarterly. In addition, Property Sure has developed what we call the Property Sure Standard, which means each and every property we manage must meet a standard that we would want our own real estate investment to meet. Contact us today to learn more about the details of the Property Sure Standard and why it sets us apart from other property management companies!
How Is The Owner Protected If The Resident Damages The Property?
A refundable security deposit taken at move-in is usually sufficient to handle the minor damage caused by residents. Residents with excellent credit and references seldom cause significant damage. If the resident leaves the property owing money for rent and/or damages they will be billed. If they do not pay, we will file a writ for restitution with the local magistrate. If the court agrees with the charges, the court will enter a judgment against the resident. The judgment can either be turned over to an attorney or a collection agency. A judgment remains on the person’s records for 14 years or until satisfied.
