Why Property Management?
As we have seen, the median price to rent in Annapolis has been increasing, while the selling price of similar homes has been decreasing. So for those looking to put their home on the market, the prospect of renting it out is becoming more attractive. However, many homeowners never consider renting their home, or they are discouraged from doing so with the assumption that it either requires more work and effort than they can provide, or the fees are too high. That is where a trusted property management company can help reduce the stress and work load required to effectively rent out a home, all for a minimal fee.
By hiring a property manager, the homeowner is able to take advantage of the increasing rental market while not having to invest massive amounts of time and effort. Provision Property management offers all of our clients the benefit of having every aspect of the rental process handled with care and expertise.

Once the tenants rent clears our account we will EFT the funds directly to your account on the 10th of the month. With tenants being able to pay online and us being able to EFT to your account, there is no more waiting for checks to arrive in the mail and the overall payment process is much simpler.
With a rich knowledge of construction and servicing properties we are able to help tenants fix issues with no cost. If we do have to go to the property to repair an item we usually already know how to fix it quickly and not have to pass much cost onto the owner. If the repair takes an hour or more we have a service call technician on payroll that keeps the cost very low at $75 to start $30/hr. for additional time. If the needs to be a larger repair we have a long history of very loyal contracts in all the trades which will give us the best deal which is passed onto the owner. We also pass all yard and regular maintenance onto the tenant and regularly check in with them to remind them of their responsibilities.
Keep utilities in your name until we have the tenant take them over, this usually takes a week but it can be very costly if you turn them off too early.

Simplified Leasing Management
Finding the right tenants is a key to a successful rental investment. We have a proven system of finding and placing tenants, and provide ongoing management to make sure the rental property maintains tenants long term and minimal vacancy periods. Once a tenant is selected and qualified, we outline their responsibilities to the home and the lease arrangement. The ramifications of the lease agreement are also explicitly communicated to ensure there is no confusion as to what will happen should they fail to fulfill their end of the contract. In return, we give them a direct line to our team for any questions or concerns that arise during the rental period. We treat each and every occupant with respect and dignity, and seek long term relationships that result in consistent lease terms and timely payments.Â

Financials and Accounting
The financial side of renting can be a difficult process to manage effectively without dedicated attention. Collecting rent is only one side of the accounting system needed to turn a profit on a rental property.

Even a slight oversight in any financial aspect can cause disastrous circumstances for a property owner.

What Is Your Rental Property Potential?
Building Inspections and Maintenance Calls
With every rental property comes an occasional issue with regard to plumbing, electrical or structural integrity. We make these headaches disappear by responding promptly to each repair order. You have a single point of contact throughout the process, and the tenant never has to worry about a long wait. Tenant needs are paramount when seeking a fruitful relationship. Having a dedicated service crew available 24 hours a day has proven to be one of the most beneficial aspects to our business – as is evident from our reviews. In addition, having our local Annapolis location, we are able to perform regular inspections to avoid larger scale issues with the building and/or the city codes.
Repairs By Licensed Professionals
We only use a licensed pro in the event a repair for the rental is needed. This assures the highest quality work and liability issues that may arise with a general repairman.
Resident Customer Service
Our residents can rely on us to answer a call 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. We will either schedule a convenient time to visit or we will use emergency repair services to get to a major issue right away.
Housing Code Violations
If your property ever fails an inspection or violates a building code, we will make all of the necessary repairs and/or treatments.
Legal Proceedings
In the unfortunate event that a tenant falls too far behind or becomes negligent of the property, we will take every measure to ensure your investment remains protected. We understand the landlord-tenant laws surrounding Annapolis rental homes and will act accordingly.
Court Filings
If a tenant becomes delinquent, we will take the necessary steps in court to quickly evict and recover the funds owed. We have plenty of experience with these proceedings in the Anne Arundel Court system.
Appearances
Once the appropriate papers are filed, the next step is to make sure an appearance is made on the scheduled date. We will also make sure someone is before the court to not miss out on any deadlines.
Evictions
Should it come to it, we will follow through with all of the court judgements onward to a complete eviction. It must be scheduled with the Sherrif’s office, and there is a very short window to complete the process.
