Property owners often have questions about how their real estate assets will be managed by STG Rental Management, and related questions about issues relative to the whole management process. 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

  • How long will it take to rent?

    Vacancy periods are market-driven and affected by the time of the year, but on average, homes are on the market for 2-3 weeks. Homes rent more slowly around Thanksgiving and New Year, and of course, pricing affects vacancy rates to some extent as well.

  • When are monthly funds distributed?

    Payments to owners are processed between the 7th-10th of the month, and disbursements are made in the manner you chose during owner setup.

  • Do you seek approval on rental expenses?

    Yes, we will seek approval on all expenses, unless the charges are under $200. We have an online system that tracks all work orders for the property, which enables us to have better communication with you and our vendors, so we can quickly resolve any maintenance issues.

  • How do you fill rentals?

    We effectively market your properties through our cutting-edge software with AppFolio and follow up on leads quickly to ensure each home is filled quickly. We have an extremely low vacancy rate which is why you will only see a few listings posted on our website.

  • How is the price of my rental determined?

    We do an online rent comparison with several other sites, to make sure you are receiving the highest dollar possible on your investment.


Property Repair and Maintenance

  • What needs to be done to prepare a property to rent?

     We firmly believe that the property should be in the best possible condition to attract the highest quality resident. When we start off this way, we see much greater success down the line. For instance, we make it a point to have the home inspected for any maintenance items that might be necessary, the carpets are professionally cleaned, the yard is maintained clean and attractive, and the entire residence is then ‘detailed’ to a very clean state by a professional cleaning crew that understands the type of cleaning that is expected.

  • How are repairs handled?

    Residents are required to submit all repairs through the resident online portal. We notify owners of requests that are submitted so they are aware of an issue that is going on with their home. We take care of items that do not exceed $200, unless another amount is negotiated. If the request falls under a maintenance emergency, it is scheduled immediately and the owner is notified at the first possible opportunity.

  • How often are property inspections completed?

    We have found preventative maintenance is an important aspect to ensure we protect your investment. During our inspections, we check for damage, lease violations, leaks, clean air filters and water softener maintenance (when applicable), housekeeping issues, smoke detectors working, and any other issues that could present an issue down the road. The photos of the inspection are emailed to you each time so that you can see the condition of the property along with a rental analysis of the property. At which time we will discuss the future plans with the current resident.

  • What items are owners responsible for executing?

    We do require owners to set up the utilities with a landlord rollover so there will not be a gap in services. It is also important to fill out the information needed with the City of St. George for the business license and the Washington County Assessor’s office. Each owner is required to provide proof of insurance to KW St. George Keller Williams.
