Common questions
Owner Questions We Hear Most
How Do You Show the Properties You Manage?
All showings are agent-assisted. No property access is granted unless the prospective tenant is accompanied by a licensed agent. It’s slower than a lockbox, and it’s how we keep your property secure and every showing accounted for.
Do You Handle Lead Inspections?
Yes. We coordinate with MDE-accredited lead inspectors and manage the compliance calendar for you.
Maryland’s lead law applies to rental properties built before 1978. Owners must register those units with the Maryland Department of the Environment and keep the registration current, provide tenants with the required notices and educational materials, and, under the Full Risk Reduction Standard, pass a lead dust inspection before every change in occupancy. Registration fees and renewal cycles are set by MDE and change periodically, so we track the current requirement rather than working off an old number. Missing any of this creates real liability for an owner, which is why we don’t leave it to chance.
What Happens When a Tenant Is in Breach of the Lease?
Once a violation occurs, we post legal notice to the tenant with an opportunity to remedy it. If the violation isn’t corrected, the matter goes to our attorney for filing. You’re told what happened, what we did about it, and what it’s likely to cost before it moves to the next step.
Can We Use Our Own Contractor in Addition to or in Place of Your Resources?
Of course. You can use your preferred vendors for maintenance and repairs. If you’d rather we handle it, we’ll bring you our bench, and you’ll see the pricing.
