Ask Us Your Questions

The most frequently asked of these questions are addressed below, so that you might find the answer to a popular question without having to go out of your way to contact us. If your question is not listed below, feel free to contact us, and we’ll be glad to provide the needed information.

Rental Process and Payments

Vacancy periods are market-driven and seasonal. On average, homes are rented within 2–4 weeks. Properties may take longer to rent around the holidays, particularly Thanksgiving and New Year’s. Competitive pricing significantly influences vacancy duration.

Every tenant application is carefully reviewed using credit, income, rental history, background, and eviction checks. We follow fair-housing compliant standards and use proven systems to select dependable residents.

Owner payments are processed between the 8th and 11th of each month. Funds are held by our third-party payment processor for 3–5 business days before depositing into your bank account. Timing varies slightly depending on the weekday the 5th falls on.

We utilize an all-in-one maintenance system that gives owners real-time visibility into
work orders. Any expense over $400 will require your approval. Our platform centralizes
all communication with residents and vendors, improving transparency and response
times.

We market listings through AppFolio, which automatically places vacancies on 30–40
different websites. Listings are refreshed every 24 hours to remain competitive, and we
follow up with leads quickly. Our low vacancy rate reflects our effective marketing and
leasing process.

We perform rent comparisons across multiple platforms and combine this data with our
local market expertise to price your property for optimal return and low vacancy. We’ll
explain our pricing recommendation so you understand the rationale behind it.

Property Repair and Maintenance

A “Rent Ready” property is one that has been professionally cleaned to a high standard (more detailed than standard cleaning), carpets professionally cleaned, all necessary maintenance completed, and landscaping serviced—including blowing out debris and trimming bushes. Preparing a property for rent may cost approximately one month’s rent depending on its condition at intake.

We use Property Meld, our online maintenance portal, to manage every repair efficiently and transparently. Owners can view vendor bids, photos, and status updates in real time. All vendors are licensed and insured to ensure quality work and protect your property’s value.

We conduct two inspections with new tenants: one at 3–4 months after move-in, and
another 3–4 months before the lease expiration. Annual inspections are performed
afterward. Each inspection includes photos uploaded to your owner portal. We check for
damages, lease violations, safety concerns, and preventative maintenance needs. Each
inspection costs $50. Additional inspections may be requested.

No. All maintenance must be performed by our licensed and insured vendors. This ensures quality control, proper documentation, and timely service. Our vendors are highly experienced with rental property repairs and we pass along the discounted rates we’ve negotiated.

Owners must:

  • Set up utilities with a landlord rollover to prevent service interruptions
  • Apply for a business license with the City of St. George
  • File the Residential Exemption with the Washington County Assessor’s Office
  • Provide proof of insurance naming STG Rental Management as an additional
    insured
