## What problems does a Tampa Bay property manager actually solve?

These are the seven issues Tampa Bay owners bring to us most often — and how professional management addresses each one.

### Vacancy that drags on

Tampa rentals average 53 days on market. Professional pricing, photography, and 88+ platform syndication compress that — backed by the written 21-Day Rental Guarantee on qualifying homes (conditions: we set the price, the home is vacant and move-in ready — the 21 days start when it's tenant-ready — approved pets are allowed up to 2, and the guarantee is included in your agreement).

### Maintenance surprises and inflated repair bills

24/7 intake, vetted local vendors, and invoices billed at cost. No 10%–20% markup quietly added to every repair.

### Tenant screening you can't verify yourself

A 14-point screen — credit, criminal, eviction history, income, and rental references — plus a Leasing Guarantee: a tenant we placed who leaves before 9 months is replaced free (excludes military transfers and tenants who paid break-lease fees).

### Communication black holes

A dedicated property manager as your single point of contact — one person who knows your property by name, not a call center.

### Rising insurance and HOA costs squeezing returns

Accurate rent pricing and renewal strategy protect your margin, and monthly statements show exactly where every dollar goes so you can react early.

### Guessing at the right rent

A free comparative market analysis prices your home against current Tampa Bay comps — so you don't leave money on the table or sit vacant from overpricing.

### Florida legal compliance

Chapter 83 deposit handling, statute-compliant notices, and attorney-coordinated evictions — with Eviction Protection available for tenants we placed.

21-Day Rental Guarantee — Conditions: Rent Solutions sets the price, the home is vacant and move-in ready (the 21 days start when it's tenant-ready), approved pets are allowed (max 2), and the guarantee is included in your management or leasing agreement. Leasing Guarantee applies to tenants we placed and excludes military transfers and tenants who paid break-lease fees. Eviction Protection covers non-payment evictions of tenants we placed while we manage the property for the entire tenancy; it excludes inherited tenants, lost rents, property damage, and the tenant's attorney fees or court-ordered fines, and must be part of your Property Management Agreement.

> “Owners don't hire us for a list of services — they hire us to make the phone stop ringing. Coverage, screening, pricing, and compliance are how we do it; the guarantees are how we prove it.”
