主人的常见问题
我租房子的手续是怎样的?
A: At Elevated our process is pretty comprehensive, but we can boil it down for a streamlined answer. 第一个, we visit the property (typically with you) to determine rental market value and conduct a “rent-ready” evaluation. 换句话说, 我们看一下财产, 就如何准备好房屋租金提出建议, 然后给你一个我们认为市场可以接受的租金.
第二，我们向您提供一份管理协议，并与您进行深入讨论. 通常，前两个步骤可以同时进行.
一旦你签了协议(并且你已经搬出去了), we will take high resolution photos and video of your home for both advertising and to document the homes condition. Then we will list the property on all our advertising venues and begin capturing interest in your home.
只要有潜在的房客, we will take them through the application process and screen them through a national database for criminal, 信贷, 和租赁的历史. 如果申请被批准，我们会签一份租约让他们搬进来.
在入学, 我们会处理所有与租户的通信, 租金集合, 财产会计, 并管理租户或物业的其他需求.
我的房子能卖多少租金?
A: We can generally give you a general estimate on the rental value of your home based on address, 家里的细节, 还有这个地区的同类租赁. 然而, for a more accurate number, we will need to schedule a property evaluation with you.
当我出租我的房子时，我能期望什么成本?
答:好问题! 作为一个出租物业的业主，有正确的期望是非常重要的. Understand that legally you retain all the rights and obligations of a property owner except one – the right to live in it. 作为暂时放弃这一权利的交换，你收取租金. 即使在最理想的情况下, 物业很可能需要维修费用, 就像你住在家里一样.
在许多情况下, 维修和保养不是租户的错, 但只是正常房产所有权的一部分. It is good practice to put aside some savings in anticipation of repairs or maintenance. Estimating how much you should set aside can be difficult because there are so many factors to consider (age of home, 设备的年龄和类型, 类型的设施, 建筑和屋顶的类型, 加热和冷却系统类型, 类型的地板, 等.). 我们很乐意根据具体情况与你讨论.
An extremely important thing to understand is: don’t make a habit of deferring regular maintenance just because you’re not living in the home. This can be very costly in major repairs and also detrimental to placing quality 租户 in the home.
我支付管理费能得到什么?
答:好问题! 作为一个出租物业的业主，有正确的期望是非常重要的. Understand that legally you retain all the rights and obligations of a property owner except one – the right to live in it. 作为暂时放弃这一权利的交换，你收取租金. 即使在最理想的情况下, 物业很可能需要维修费用, 就像你住在家里一样.
你们的广告套餐包括什么?
A: Elevated’s advertising package will expose your property to the top trafficked websites used to search for rental homes which is typically over 100 sites. 我们列出的一些顶级网站是Zillow.com, Trulia网站.com,租金.com, Hotpads.Com，当然还有我们自己的网站.
We also work with quality local resources to take advantage of special opportunities. 军事基地, 主要领域的雇主, and executive placement agencies have all worked with us to rent homes from our portfolio. Based on your properties needs we can take advantage of our Premium advertising for an additional fee. 这适用于公寓，而不一定是单一家庭住宅.
请记住，上市公司和服务都是定期变化的, 因此，我们不能保证特定的网站将始终显示您的清单. 然而, we strive to always provide the best coverage to maximize your property’s exposure to the best potential 租户.
我的物业需要多久才能找到租客?
A: There are many factors that affect the length of time a rental is on the market. 这是一年中的什么时候? 它在镇子的哪个区? 房子有多大? 租金是多少? 整体, 计划在3到6周内把房子租出去, 不需要维修，价格适宜“可出租”.
我们甚至在房客搬出之前就开始预售你的公寓. 然而, most circumstances don’t allow us to show the unit until it is completely vacant and “rent ready”. We have also had some very unique situations that have led to almost 8 weeks of availability. 不管你的情况如何, we would be happy to discuss your situation in more detail and get a plan to minimize vacancy.
我如何确保找到一个好房客?
答:你永远不可能100%准确地预测租户的行为. 然而, 这是许多物业经理对租户采取的标准对抗方式, 在目前的市场上没有立足之地. 频繁的检查, 错误的规则或限制, and excessive fees do not provide a better situation for any of the parties involved. 这也是一种对更简单的解决方案的反动方法. The best place to filter out the wrong tenant, is through a comprehensive screening process. 我们使用 最好的物业管理 市场上的软件. 他们提供了一个筛选过程，包括, 国家驱逐历史, 犯罪的报道, 性侵犯记录和偶尔的租房记录. 我们还向信贷机构报告逾期付款.
你们收取多少保证金?谁来保管?
A:一般来说，标准的保证金是100美元，比一个月的租金少. 这笔押金不能用作上个月的房租. Landlord/tenant regulation dictates landlords have 30 days from day the 租户 move out to determine whether any portion of their deposit will be used for repairs or cleaning.
(NOTE: The procedures and time allowed by law to account for security deposits will depend on specific State and/or municipality regulation. 这是选择专业人士的另一个原因!)所有保证金均存于本办事处所控制的信托帐户内. Deposits can only be transferred to the owner if the owner chooses to take over management of the current lease. 在房屋被占用期间，押金不能用于维修.
我应该如何处理物业的公用设施?
答:处理公用设施的方式因地区而异. 第一个 and foremost, do not disconnect any utilities until asked to do so by our office. We will have you sign a landlord standby (where available) so that there in not an accidental lapse in service. There are varying procedures to transfer utilities or keep them in your name depending on where the property is and what services are needed. Our staff is familiar with the local company policies and can help walk you through any steps required of you. 请放心, 是否需要向你收取任何由租客负责的费用, 我们会设法向他们收取这些费用.
通过保持实用程序活跃, 除非我们的员工另有指示, 您可以避免昂贵的重新连接费用, 需要热水或电的清洁和维护延误, 甚至可能损坏你的财产(特别是在寒冷的天气). Feel free to talk to us if you have questions and we’ll help you find the best way to navigate the transition.
租户的维护请求会发生什么?
答:如果请求是合法的紧急请求, it will be completed as soon as possible to avoid additional danger and/or damage to the property, 租户, 和其他租户. Otherwise, the request will be reviewed and we will trouble shoot with the tenant. 如果我们无法解决问题，我们将派遣合适的维修人员. Again, the process may have some variation depending on your individual contract guidelines.
如果修理超过了合同规定的限度, the owner will be provided with an estimate will have 48 hours to respond with a solution. The email will outline all of the available options the owner can take at that time. 如果48小时内没有回复, the office will have the right to determine if the repair can wait or if we can give the owner more time to respond.
如果我需要卖掉我的房子，你能帮我搞定吗?
A: Our office is a full service (One Stop Shop) we have a top level broker that can assist with the sale of your property. 如果你需要在物业仍被租客占用时出售, 我们需要讨论有关这一程序的规章制度.
如果你在考虑卖掉你的房产, be sure to coordinate with 亚游国际厅 if you are still under our Management Agreement. 为了确保整个过程的顺利进行，必须遵循一定的规程. The important thing to understand is Elevated will not manage a tenant in a home that is also listed for sale. For more information on this, please feel free to ask your Elevated representative.
