Many companies only place an office number or a contact that is hard to reach on their "For Rent" signs, but we place our business cell phone numbers on our signs to enable us to take calls and show vacant units during the evenings and weekends. And of course, we advertise using the best online sites including KSL.com, Craigslist, RentalAds.com, and more. KSL.com and other similar sites require weekly updating at minimum, and this is of no additional charge to you.

Belden Real Estate Management places one of it's primary focuses on finding the best tenants possible for all of our properties. We have a great track record for dependable tenants, although we cannot guarantee a person will not suffer job loss, divorce, or other issue that may prevent timely rent payment. We require an application completed by all adults over 18 years of age. We pull full credit and criminal history and verify with at least 2 previous landlords to ensure greater dependability. We also verify income and will request co-signers if necessary. If they do not qualify, we simply turn them down.

We generally charge a security deposit equal to one month's rent on each property. For example, If the rent is $1500, we charge this same amount to the tenant for a security deposit. If you allow pets, additional pet deposit amounts are negotiable. Rent is due on the 1st of each month and late after the 5th. We process your rent payments electronically to you between the 8th and 10th of each month. The funds will generally post to your bank account within 2-3 business days after. We can also mail a printed check upon request. Please call us for more details.

We email you an income/loss or operating statement showing the financial status of your property on a monthly basis. This shows exactly how much rent was collected and what fees or expenses were deducted (usually the management fee). At the end of each year, a 1099 will be mailed out which shows the total rent income collected for the year. We can provide other detailed statements upon request. There is no extra charge for any of these statements.

Once the tenant is placed, we do not just wait until they move to see how the property was maintained and treated. We schedule thorough walk-through inspections every 3-4 months on all of our units. The primary purpose of this is to help ensure the property is being well cared for and maintained by the tenant. The secondary purpose is for preventative maintenance to save you money in the long run. A few things we look at would include, checking under all sinks to make sure pipes are not leaking and causing damage, checking smoke alarms (tenants are responsible for replacing batteries), and more. We make note of anything the property needs and let you know.

An Eviction or Unlawful Detainer is necessary when there is drug activity, deliberate damage, nuisance, and most commonly, non-payment of rent. In this case, we do everything possible to contact the tenant, and post a 3 Day Notice if they are unwilling to cooperate. Most tenants either contact us and pay OR move when they have a 3 Day Notice posted on the door. All of this "behind the scenes" work we do, helps reduce your overall cost, and allows us to take possession of the property much more quickly without the use of an attorney. In the case that we do need additional legal resources, our attorney is very quick and thorough in getting tenants out of the property. This is the primary reason we apply an extremely thorough screening process when selecting a tenant. We are pleased to say we have not yet had to use an attorney to evict a tenant that we have placed. If you have a tenant in your property that is not paying rent, we can still get our attorney involved if necessary. Please call us for details about attorney costs and charges.
