Lease Negotiation

Licensed Real Estate Professionals will show available properties, draft, and negotiate leases. A. Meadows Property Management executes leases, addendums and disclosures.

Security Deposits

Security deposits are collected and maintained in our trust account. Security deposit money is paid to vendors for any cleaning and repair costs if tenant fails to meet move-out standards or used for any rent still owed and the balance is refunded to the tenant.

Insurance

We carry General Liability and Worker's Compensation insurance policies. We recommend that tenants maintain Renter's Insurance to reduce claims against property owners and to cover any of their possessions in case of loss.

Tenant Transitions

Move In - One of our Property Managers will deliver and review lease guidelines, occupancy standards, payment and maintenance policies with the tenant and coordinate a move-in schedule.

Move Out - Upon receipt of a notice that the tenant is going to vacate the premises, the owner is notified and we provide a detailed cleaning and move-out standard to the tenant. We collect all keys and openers, perform a thorough inspection with the tenant and document the property condition at move-out. We get estimates for any damages and repairs caused by the tenant and deduct them from the tenant's security deposit. We switch utilities to A. Meadows Property Management for the owner.

For a one-time lease agreement: 85% of one month's rent
For a lease agreement with property management services: 50% of one month's rent.
For lease renewals with a current tenant under a lease agreement with A. Meadows Property Management there is no charge. There is no charge for lease renewals with existing tenants.
