A written fee schedule, a statement every month, and one person answerable for the tenancy. Everything else on this page is detail under those three. Vacancy costs more than any fee line, so the pages below spend longer on filling a unit than on the rate itself.
A full fee schedule. One percentage, the leasing fee, renewal and inspection fees, eviction handling, and any minimum that applies while the unit is empty. Anything not listed should not appear on a statement.
A statement you can read. Rent in, costs out, the fee on its own line and contractor invoices attached. The owner portal holds the running record rather than an email thread.
An exit. The notice period to end the agreement, and whether an early termination fee applies. Both vary widely, and both are worth asking about before signing rather than after.
One monthly percentage, the leasing fee, renewal fee, inspection fee, eviction handling, any vacancy minimum, and the notice period to end the agreement. Ask for all of it in writing before signing.
Setting the rent, approving work above the agreed limit, and whether to renew a tenancy. Everything below that line is run and reported rather than put to you.
Small repairs proceed under an agreed limit so a leak is not waiting on an email. Anything above that limit comes to you with the quote attached before work starts.
That is common and it mainly changes reporting and tax administration rather than the management itself. See non-resident owners for what is handled and what stays with you.
Yes, though the tenancy continues and notice rules apply to showings. Raise it early, because timing a sale around a lease end is far simpler than working around a fixed term.
The lease, the deposit record, keys, and any warranty or service paperwork. Missing documents can be reconstructed, but a gap slows the first few weeks.
