Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Your Questions

Whether you are a resident or a property owner, we have gathered answers to the questions we hear most often. Don’t see what you are looking for? Contact us directly.

For Residents

Our commitment to owners is to return each unit in the condition it was originally rented, less normal wear and tear. Patching holes in drywall, repairing broken items, cleaning, and carpet cleaning are all items that may be charged after a move out inspection is completed.

Most of our properties are offered with an annual lease. Shorter term leases may be available with additional fees after the initial one-year lease.

No modifications may be made to your rental home without prior written authorization from Stephen Fleming Realty.

This is outlined in your lease agreement. Most single-family homes have the resident responsible, while multi-unit properties are typically covered by vendor agreements. If you have any questions, please reach out to your property manager.

For Owners

Management fees vary depending on the type of property, location, complexity, number of units, and size of your portfolio. Additional fees are charged for rental placement, maintenance coordination, and other items. Contact us for a full management fee assessment.

Our placement fee covers listing the property, professional photos, lease preparation, showings, and applicant screening.
We work with a network of fully vetted vendors, including proof of insurance and subcontractor agreements. Work orders are submitted by phone or through the owner portal, and we coordinate every repair and maintenance visit.

Monthly statements are available anytime through your owner portal. We recommend reviewing your portfolio once or twice a year, and our team is always looking for ways to improve your property’s financial performance. We encourage owners to be involved with their properties, and we are happy to review your properties’ performance and provide recommendations on lease renewals, expense management, and preventative maintenance items. We are also happy to work with you on your annual budgeting and tax preparation.
