How and when are payments disbursed?
All rent is due on the 1st of the month and is considered late after the 3rd of the month. All property owners are paid after rent is collected and cleared for the property by the 12th of each month. We recommend keeping these dates in mind when scheduling monthly mortgage payments. You will also be supplied with a monthly statement at the end of each month which will include all income and/or expenses for the month. -
What is done to prepare a property for rent?
Expect to make the property appealing to visitors and guests. This may involve projects like painting or patchwork done to the property as well as carpet cleaning and other minor repairs. If the property is maintained in good condition, it is likely to rent faster and will maintain a higher rental value. -
How is the monthly rent amount determined for a property?
A series of factors are taken into consideration when calculating a rental value, but it is ultimately the rental market that will determine the amount. -
