Advertising includes Internet, newspapers, networking and word of mouth. We show the property and screen potential tenants. Tenant screening is the MOST critical point in property management. We always do our best to eliminate questionable applicants. Screening includes credit and public records, previous rental history, personal references and our personal impressions of prospective tenants. Our services include:

• Entering into a lease with the tenant.
• Collection of rents from the tenant and forward proceeds to the owner.
• If needed; we send late and eviction notices. We will initiate legal action against tenants on behalf of the homeowner.
• Coordination of repairs or forward maintenance requests to the homeowner. We have a number if independent contractors who offer preferential pricing and excellent quality services to Playa Tesoro property owners.
• Provision of year-end statements to property owners for each property.

To protect the owner’s investment, Playa Tesoro Management arranges inspections of the property before and after the tenant moves in. In addition, inspections are made during the tenancy as needed. Photos and a written report are arranged, plus each tenant completes a move-in report to insure a proper record of the property’s condition.

To keep owner maintenance costs to a minimum, tenants are directed in the lease to pay for minor repairs. Also, Playa Tesoro management provides insured handymen at reduced rates. In addition, licensed contractors are called to make repairs on major air conditioning, heating, electrical, and plumbing repairs.
