What is important - what a property management agreement can’t tell you
Choosing a property manager is a big decision, and you deserve to feel confident in who you’re trusting with your investment. Below is a clear breakdown of how our management agreement works and what you can expect when partnering with STG Rental Management.
We keep it simple, straightforward, and owner-friendly, always.
1. Easy-to-Cancel Agreement
30-Day Contract, No Cancellation Fees
We believe in earning your business every single month.
- Only 30 days’ written notice required
- No cancellation fee
- No penalties
- We help you transition smoothly if your needs ever change
You stay with us because you want to, not because you’re locked in.
2. Transparent, Upfront Fees
All fees are clearly disclosed with no junk fees, no surprise admin charges, and no markups.
We list our fees openly so owners know exactly what they’re paying for.
Our fees include:
- 8%–10% Management Fee (8% for multi-property investors, only charged when we successfully collect rent)
- $295 Leasing Fee (industry average: From 50% of one month’s rent and charged up front)
- $195 Marketing Fee
- $250 Lease Renewal Fee
- 10% Make-Ready Project Coordination Fee
There are no setup fees, onboarding fees, or hidden line-item charges.
3. Owner Reserve Funds
$300 Owner Reserve Required
We keep a small reserve in your trust account so we can quickly take care of small repairs without delay.
- Total reserve: $300
- Fully refundable when management ends
- Ensures timely repairs and avoids unnecessary property damage
4. How Fast You Get Paid
Owner Payments by the 10th of Each Month
Our accounting cycle is fast, clear, and consistent.
- Rent is collected electronically
- Funds clear through our trust account
- Owner payouts and statements are issued on or before the 10th
- Delivered via secure ACH deposit
Clean, predictable income, every month.
5. Maintenance Authority (Maintenance Trigger)
Automatic Approvals for Repairs Under $500
To protect your property and prevent costly delays:
- Repairs under $500 are handled automatically

6. Evictions & Legal Support
We Handle the Entire Process, At No Additional Charge
If an eviction becomes necessary:
- STG handles all notice preparation, documentation, and communication
- We assemble a complete legal file for the attorney
- No additional eviction prep fees (many companies charge $100–$300+)
- Attorney takes over once filing begins
- STG stays involved until the case is fully resolved
You’re supported from beginning to end.
7. Professional Communication & Operations
Our systems track everything, maintenance, financials, communication, and compliance, giving you full transparency through your owner portal.
You get real-time access to:
- Documents
- Statements
- Work orders
- Photos
- Notices
You’re never left wondering what’s happening with your property.
8. What Matters Beyond the Management Agreement
A management agreement alone doesn’t tell the full story.
It doesn’t measure:
- The quality of service
- Honesty, professionalism, and communication
- Response time
- How well a company handles issues when something goes wrong
- How they treat tenants (which directly affects your property)
Before choosing a property manager, make sure to look at the things that actually impact your investment:
- Google reviews
- Rent collection rates
- Eviction history
- Years in business
- Local reputation
- How quickly they respond to you
- How they communicate with both owners and residents
These are the factors that create a strong, long-term partnership, not just what’s written in the agreement.
