WHAT ARE THE STEPS IF WEICHERT, REALTORS – HALLMARK PROPERTIES PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TAKES OVER MANAGEMENT OF MY TENANT OCCUPIED PROPERTY?

First, if the property has been managed by another company, we will need to see a signed termination agreement with the other company as to make sure we are not interfering with an existing contract.

We will need from either the other property management company or you:

  • A copy of the current lease
  • A statement of the tenant’s account
  • The tenant’s security deposit
  • Keys to the property

We will then meet with the tenant and assess the property.

DO YOU RECOMMEND ACCEPTING PETS?

There is a small percentage of time we will recommend that allowing pets will not benefit the owner. But statistics show more than ½ of all tenants have pets. By excluding pets from your property, you will substantially reduce the available number of prospective tenants.

WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR TENANTS WITH SERVICE ANIMALS?

Service Animals/Therapy Pets for handicapped/disabled persons are not pets by Federal Law and owners cannot discriminate against handicapped/disabled
persons with a service animal/therapy pet. Fair Housing does not allow owners or property managers to collect deposits of any kind for a service animal or therapy pet.
