Tenant Services

Summit Property Management takes great care to ensure our owners and tenants receive the best service. Summit Property Management, LLC was founded with the express purpose of being different and to be the market leader in service, satisfaction, and success.

The Summit Rental Experience:

- Once Summit has located a potential tenant for your rental property, we collect a complete rental application along with a $50 (single applicant) $75 (married couple) rental application fee from that potential tenant. This fee is used to employ Kroll Factual Data Services to perform a comprehensive background check that includes a full credit history, employment and income verification, past tenancy history, criminal check.

- Based upon the potential tenant's application results Summit will determine if this person is a match for our owner's rental property. If there is a good match, Summit will provide the tenant with our lease agreement and collect the security deposit. During this short period it is essential for the property owner to be available via phone to discuss any variations in rental period, rental rate, pet policy, etc. It is important to remember that Summit Property Management represents our property owners and will negotiate vehemently on their behalf; however, our owners always have the final say in all matters.

- Once a tenant is in place, Summit will collect rent and electronically deposit all monthly rental proceeds into owner's bank account.

- Should a problem arise with an owner's property, our management coordinator will immediately open a new order in our software system to dispatch a repair professional to quote the job. If the repair cost is less than $300, Summit will authorize the repair and contact the owner via email to apprise them of the situation. If the repair exceeds $300, owners will be contacted to authorize the repair. Should the repair be the result of the tenant's actions, the repair will be charged to the tenant and not the owner. We take great pride in our ability to identify and handle these repair issues in a timely and efficient manner.

- 45 - 60 days before a tenant's lease expires, all parties are notified. Summit makes every effort to retain the current tenant (if desired) or begins to remarket the property to the general leasing public. It is our goal to seamlessly place another tenant into the property with limited or no vacancy. Typically, we attempt to contact tenants 60 days prior to the lease expiration.
