Landlords

LANDLORD BENEFITS

  • Better Qualified Tenants – through our thorough screening process we reduce the odds of having an undesirable tenant. At Accurate Realty & Management we first check the references of the applicant’s current employer and current landlord. We then check their credit through Rentgrow, which is a credit reporting service which specializes in credit reports for rental applicants. Offering more than traditional credit reporting agencies, RentGro enhances our ability to make good applicant selection possible with the score card RentGro provides.
  • Fair Housing Compliance Government – Regulations on Fair Housing Compliance are numerous and ever expanding. It is imperative to be knowledgeable and up to date with Fair Housing Compliance to avoid a complaint and possible lawsuit. Accurate Realty & Management will relieve your burden and worry in regards to Fair Housing Compliance regulations.
  • Systematic Rent Collection – We have the systems in place to consistently receive and document the rent payments. We have a fair but firm policy which is spelled out to the tenant as to what our policy is, and what the tenants responsibilities are. If the occurrence should happen that a tenant is late, we have a system set up to collect, or if necessary to evict. We are your buffer in these situations, which will relieve you of the stress in dealing with the problem. More importantly, tenants are more apt to be on time with a property management company because of the strict policies and the additional cost to the tenant.
  • No Midnight Phone Calls – Accurate Realty & Management relieves you of the hassles of having a tenant complaint in regard to your property. We handle all maintenance requests and only bother you when there is a repair that is needed that costs over $300. In addition, because of our inspections of your property we will have a professional eye open to suggest repairs as need to enhance your property value.
  • Proper Leases and Legal Forms – We have our own lease which is solely designed to give you maximum protection with your property and tenant. In addition, we process all of the forms and paper work to make sure your property is in compliance with Maryland Landlord/Tenant laws. In the event of a dispute it is important to know you have compiled with all laws and regulations in the time frame dictated by law.
  • It Saves Money to Have Your Property Professionally Managed – Our experience has shown that you can save money by having your home professionally managed. Avoiding legal pitfalls, securing higher qualified tenants quicker, proper maintenance of the home to help prevent minor items from becoming major repairs, proper financial accounting, and having the resources of having in place reliable, economical contractors for any problems will save you time and money.
