主人的常见问题
租房子的流程是什么?
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, 我们看物业, 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.
其次，我们向您提供一份管理协议，并与您进行详细讨论. 通常这两步可以同时进行.
一旦你签署了协议(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. 如果申请获准，我们就签租约，让他们搬进去.
在入学, 我们会负责与房客的所有通信, 租金集合, 财产会计, 管理租户或物业的其他需求.
我的房子能租多少钱?
A: We can generally give you a general estimate on the rental value of your home based on address, 家里的细节, 以及该地区的可比租金. 然而, for a more accurate number, we will need to schedule a property evaluation with you.
我把房子租出去会有什么花费呢?
答:好问题! 作为一个租赁业主，有一个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, 该物业极有可能需要维护费用, 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, 但只是正常财产所有权的一部分. 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, 电器的年龄和类型, 类型的设施, 建筑和屋顶的类型, 加热和冷却系统的类型, 类型的地板, 等.). 我们很乐意就具体情况与您讨论.
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! 作为一个租赁业主，有一个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, 该物业极有可能需要维护费用, 就像你住在家里一样.
你们的广告套餐都包括哪些内容?
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. 我们列出的一些热门网站是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. 这种方法适用于公寓，而不是单一家庭住宅.
请记住，上市公司和服务是定期变化的, 所以我们不能保证特定的网站将总是显示你的清单. 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. 现在是什么时候啊? 它在城市的哪一部分? 房子的面积是多少? 租金是多少? 整体, 计划在3到6周的时间内租赁物业，从它干净的那天开始, 无需维修，价格适中，“随时可租”.
我们甚至会在租客搬走之前，提前推销你的公寓. 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. 不管你的处境如何, 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的房客?
答:你永远无法100%准确地预测租户的行为. 然而, 许多物业经理对租户采取的标准敌对态度, 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. 这也是一种用更简单的方法解决问题的反动方法. 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, 偶尔会有性侵犯记录和租房记录. 我们也会向信用机构报告逾期付款.
你收取多少保证金，由谁保管?
A:标准的押金通常是一个月的租金少100美元. 这押金不能用于上个月的房租. 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. 这是坚持职业选手的另一个原因!)所有保证金均存放在本处控制的信托帐户内. Deposits can only be transferred to the owner if the owner chooses to take over management of the current lease. 押金不能用于房屋被占用期间的维修.
我应该如何处理我的物业的水电设施?
答:处理公用设施因地区而异. 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, 任何由租客负责的费用都应该向你支付吗, 我们会设法向他们收取这些费用.
通过保持公用事业的活跃, 除非我们的工作人员另有指示, 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, 甚至可能对你的财产造成损害(尤其是在寒冷的气候条件下). Feel free to talk to us if you have questions and we’ll help you find the best way to navigate the transition.
来自租户的维护请求会发生什么?
答:如果该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，我们将派遣适当的维修人员. Again, the process may have some variation depending on your individual contract guidelines.
如果修理超出了我们合同的限额, 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小时内没有反应, the office will have the right to determine if the repair can wait or if we can give the owner more time to respond.
如果我要卖掉我的房子，你能帮我处理吗?
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. 如果你需要出售时，物业仍有租户, 我们需要讨论有关程序的规章制度.
如果你正在考虑卖掉你的房子, be sure to coordinate with 亚游国际厅 if you are still under our Management Agreement. 有一些协议必须遵循，以确保顺利的过程. 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.
