No. Our management fee is a percentage of rent collected. If we are not collecting rent for you, you are not paying for it.
We screen applicants to make sure they are qualified to rent. This involves obtaining a credit score, criminal history report, previous landlord check, employment and income verification. While individual owners may adjust their minimum criteria you will find the most common minimum base criteria below. This is not a full list of criteria, but is a list of the most common reasons for disqualification.
In Utah, it is required by law to be licensed under the division of real estate to manage rental properties. All agents at Ameritrue are not only licensed but they are educated beyond the typical manager to ensure we provide the best service possible. Ameritrue carries sufficient errors and omissions insurance as well as a general liability policy.
We would like to think that there never will be any problems with our rental properties or tenants. For the most part, this is true because we do such a good job screening, but occasionally we encounter a situation that is less than desirable and have to get an attorney involved. We have one of the best and most well known landlord attorneys in the state of Utah on retainer. We want to make sure you have the maximum protection available and we spared no expense in this area to do it.
Rent is always due on the first and late after the 5th day of the month. If a tenant has not paid by the 6th day of the month, we collect a late fee based off the rental price of the property. If a tenant has not paid by the 6th of the month we serve a 3 day to pay or vacate notice. By the 15th day of the month we turn it over to our attorney to begin collections and evictions. We keep you informed along the way so you know what is happening. An eviction can sometimes take as little as 2-3 weeks to complete making sure you don't go much more than a month without rent in a bad situation. We even pay the eviction attorney fees as our commitment to you that we are confident in who we are selecting as tenants.
As long as rent is not late, we will have rent direct deposited to your account no later than the 10th of the month.
We are very transparent about our fees and do not charge for every service we provide. We want to make sure you feel like you are getting a great value for your money. If we don’t rent your home, you don’t pay. We do offer additional services at a time and material rate, such as additional inspections.
First and foremost, our services include our knowledge and expertise. You are getting an experienced manager who is educated on laws and best practices in the industry. In addition, we provide the following:
We are serious about following fair housing laws and do not discriminate based on familial status. However, we feel it is unsafe to have more than 2 occupants per bedroom and we do limit occupants based on that rule. We also are educated on rules set by municipalities and abide by those. Most municipalities have limits on the number of unrelated occupants that can live in a property.
We pride ourselves on having very low vacancy. We know how important it is to keep rentals filled. Properties are tracked to determine the length of time it takes to rent based on its condition, location and the price. That data is used to determine the proper amount of time needed to market your property and have a new tenant ready to move in by the time the current tenant moves out. Often times we only have 2-3 days vacancy in-between tenants to do any necessary cleaning and repairs.
Our attorney wrote our lease. It is as close to a bulletproof lease as we have ever seen.
We do a quarterly inspection of our rentals to make sure they are being maintained and there are not any surprises at the end of a lease. Many companies charge for this additional service and some do not provide you with a report that it was actually done.
We do inspections 2-3 times a year to make sure they are being maintained and there are not any surprises at the end of a lease. Many companies charge for this additional service and some do not provide you with a report (with pictures) that it was actually done.
