Residential leasing

What Leasing Out a House Includes

You already own the house. Leasing it out means I find the tenant and get a residential lease signed, so the house starts paying rent. You don’t spend the week on the search. The offer is lease out your house.

The work I take

  • The listing. The house is offered as a residential lease, for a term, to one household.
  • The showings. I set them and I run them.
  • The application. I collect it. I bring you a tenant I would place in a house I own.
  • The signed lease. You sign it. The lease stays in your name, or in your company’s name.

Repairs stay with you. I do not take the repair calls after the lease is signed.

A residential lease

One household. A start date. Months the house may sit empty between tenants. Many of the bills can move to the tenant. You still insure the house as a rental, and you still answer the repair call.

A nightly calendar is a different job. Guests, furniture, and a clean between stays stay on that side. If the house is booked by the night now and you want a tenant instead, read from a nightly rental to a residential lease. If you are still deciding whether to buy, the buyer version is a lease and a nightly calendar are two different jobs.

Tell me the address, or the area, and whether anyone is in the house now. Text or call (346) 683-4100.
