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 right on our signs to enable us to take calls and show vacant units during the evenings and weekends. And of course, we advertise everywhere online including KSL.com, Craigslist, RentalAds.com, and more.

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, and have yet to evict a tenant that we have placed. 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 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 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. Normally, between the 8th and 10th of each month your check will be mailed or can be deposited into your account. We can also set up your funds to be directly deposited. 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. 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.

Evictions are necessary when there is drug activity, deliberate damage, nuisance, and non-payment of rent. The most common reason to evict is due to non-payment of rent. In this case, we do everything possible to negotiate with the tenant, and post 3 day notices if they are unwilling to cooperate. Most tenants move when they know they can not pay and have a 3 day notice on the door. All of these things we do, really help reduce costs on the owner's part, and allows us to take possession of the property much more quickly without the use of an attorney. In the case that we need one, 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 the property that is not paying rent, we can still get our attorney involved if necessary. Please call us for details about Attorney cost and charges.
