What the process looks like:
- You discuss the rental with the Cobblestone company owners including any questions or special requests. Afterward, you fill out a management agreement and return it to us.
- Once we have the management agreement and all keys/remotes, we will conduct a thorough initial inspection of the home to document its current condition as well as address any maintenance or cleaning items needed before becoming occupied. After the inspection, our property inspector collaborates with you to see what items (if any) need to be completed before a new tenant moves in.
- As soon as we have photos of the home we will advertise it online to attract prospective renters. Once they apply, we will screen them to make sure they qualify with regards to credit, income, background and rental history. Once someone is approved, we collect a security deposit from them and schedule the move in date.
- Upon the scheduled move in date, the tenants sign our comprehensive and legally sound lease agreement along with paying the first month of pro rated rent.
- The tenants move in and you will start receiving your monthly income. You will also receive a monthly owner statement available through your online owner portal or by mail if you choose.
- As lease renewals, maintenance, etc. come up during the tenancy, Cobblestone will contact you based on your communication preferences.
- In the case where a tenant gives a 30 day notice to vacate, we will notify you immediately along with advertising the home online to find someone to move in as soon as the turnover maintenance and cleaning is completed.
- Once the current tenant turns in keys, our property inspector will conduct a detailed move out inspection and document the condition of the home along with any maintenance and cleaning items needing to be addressed before a new tenant moves in. The inspection report will be sent to you via the owner portal (or email if you choose) so you can collaborate to decide which items you’d like taken care of.
- As soon as all turnover maintenance and cleaning items are completed, we will arrange for the new approved tenants to sign the lease and move in.
