MARKETING AVAILABLE PROPERTIES

LRPM uses the following avenues to advertise available properties. Each situation is unique. Advertising avenues are available and may or may not be used as the current rental market fluctuates. Advertising starts as soon as we receive a notice to vacate. – Our goal is to have a new renter lined up before the vacating renter moves out.

Our years of experience have given us the skills and knowledge to attempt to gain leads off any phone call or inquiry we receive. If a prospective tenant contacts us about one house, if appropriate we market all our available properties. We also strive to keep a positive image in the local community so that our current and previous renters refer us to their friends.

PREPARING HOME FOR MOVE IN

When a tenant moves out, the last thing anyone wants is confusion about the move in condition. Was the home clean? Was the yard clean? Were the walls freshly painted? Our goal during turnovers is to ensure that every item requiring attention is dealt with prior to a new occupancy. Lava Ridge Property Management likes all new move in’s to beprepared with;

Oregon law allows us to charge a tenant for anything that needs to be done to a property to bring it back to the original condition of move in, except for normal wear and tear. Dirt, nail holes etc. is NOT considered normal wear and tear. Getting a home in top notch condition before the move in, allow us to maintain it in between each new renter and charge the previous renter for their dirt and damage.

Documenting the condition of the home at move in is very important. LRPM will take pictures and video of the entire home, inside and out, and conduct a written inspection of the home prior to move in. New renters are given 7 days to add to the list and documentation. LRPM finds that this is the most effective and cost efficient way for an owner to maintain their property. You may experience some charges when we first rent your investment home, however it will set us up for less expenses during future turnovers.

PROPERTY INSPECTIONS AND DOCUMENTATION OF MOVE IN CONDITION

A move in condition report is the most important tool used to determine condition from move in to move out. A full inspection of the house will be conducted by our team and documentation of the property condition will be created prior to any renter taking occupancy. Pictures, video and written reports are always completed.
