The leasing fee for your property covers the cost of renting it out and will be deducted from your tenant’s first month's rent. This may appear to be a straightforward process, but there are a number of steps that must be followed to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal fair housing laws and the residential landlord tenant act. These include the creation of a professional property profile with accurate and attractive details and photographs, responding to phone calls regarding the rental, scheduling appointments for showings, processing tenant applications (most vacancies have more than two applications), negotiating rental terms and conditions between you and the tenant, and the execution of the lease agreement and any required addenda.
