The SDL Renting Experience
Imagine renting a home through a property management company that actually cares about YOU. Are you tired of being treated without respect? Tired of being labeled a “renter”? Fed up with owners or other management companies that don’t return your calls, or don't fix the broken dishwasher, air conditioning or leaking roof? You’re not alone. The courts are full of owners, landlords and tenants in dispute. Except SDL owners and tenants, that is!
If you are considering renting a home, you need to be aware of your rights and duties as a tenant. This is how SDL avoids disputes; By working with you, by consulting with you at the outset of our relationship, by guiding you through the application process, by directing a smooth move-in, and by being responsive to you as a "tenant" and not just a "renter", this is how we create harmonious landlord/tenant relations and help you enjoy a pleasant renting experience... from move-in to move-out!
On the one hand, SDL acts as agent for owners seeking a reliable tenant; someone who will treat their home with respect and pay the rent on time. On the other hand, tenants want a hassle-free renting experience with the understanding that things will be fixed when broken, and they want the simple courtesy of being addressed politely and phone calls returned promptly. Most of all, they want to avoid the “security deposit fight” that seems to end so many renting experiences in anger and dispute.
SDL is the true master of property management. We have spent years perfecting systems that ensure a pleasant renting experience for tenants and owners alike. And it all starts right here!
The Ideal Tenant
The ideal tenant understands that a lease is a contract. This contract requires that they pay rent on time, treat the home with respect, obey laws and respect neighbor’s rights to enjoy their own homes, and follow the rules of a home owner’s association, if applicable.
The ideal tenant understands that there will be consequences if they “breach” their lease. A “breach” occurs when a tenant doesn’t pay rent on time, moves additional people or pets into a home after move-in, damages the property, fails to obey laws or community rules, or breaks the lease early, for examples. The ideal tenant understands that when they breach their lease, there may be consequences; consequences such as eviction, financial penalties, negative credit reporting, and sometimes all three.
The ideal tenant understands that the owner is trusting them with a very valuable asset, worth many hundreds of thousands of dollars. They understand that before the owner will let that tenant move in, the tenant must go through a screening process to prove they are a good risk. It’s not personal, it’s business.
The ideal tenant understands that SDL is responsible for enforcing the lease on behalf of the owner. They understand that SDL will treat them with utmost respect and honesty at all times, and that they too will treat SDL staff likewise. They understand that they are accountable to themselves, the owner and SDL for the duration of their lease.
The ideal tenant understands that the ultimate goal of the owner, the tenant and SDL is to create and maintain a harmonious, professional relationship between all three. By achieving this goal, which is achieved when both the owner and tenant abide by the terms of the lease, the owner enjoys the rental income paid by the tenant, the tenant enjoys a pleasant renting experience, the tenant gets a security deposit refund and favorable tenant recommendation at lease end, and SDL gets to chalk up more happy testimonials!
