FAQs for Owners (FAQs for Tenants -
Scroll Down)
What if the tenant stops paying their rent?
We make every effort to collect rents and monies due
in a timely fashion. If a tenant
is late on a payment we will make immediate contact with them and
communicate the problem. If there is reason for concern we can
start an eviction process.
When can I expect to get my proceeds from the rental
income?
Funds are released 5 business days after we receive
them in our office. Ask about our direct deposit so that you, the
property owner, can receive the funds immediately and efficiently
without any interaction.
What happens if the tenant breaks the lease?
If a tenant is unable to complete the terms of their lease, we will
present options to all parties in order to settle in an acceptable
manner.
What if Naples PM is unable to get my property
rented?
Our marketing system is second to none. If your property does not
rent quickly to a qualified tenant we will reevaluate the asking
rent and condition of the property.
What happens if the same tenant decides to stay the
next year?
Tenants are contacted approximately 3 months before the lease term
expires. When we are aware of their wishes we will notify you and
negotiate a new lease. We reapply the costs the same way in
previous term.
What happens if I sell the home during the term of
the lease?
The lease will transfer to the new owner. All rental proceeds will
be prorated.
What are the peak months of a seasonal rental?
January, February & March are the most desirable. You can expect to
get the bulk of your rental income in these 3 months.
When is the biggest surge of Seasonal Rentals?
The peak months usually get booked between August and November.
FAQ’s for Tenants
How do I know if the property I rent is not in
foreclosure?
We check the solvency of our owners and try to assure
the rental properties are not at risk of foreclosure, although we
can never be sure. If the owner
is in foreclosure, you may not be kicked out. There is legislation
(Protecting
Tenants at Foreclosure Act)
in place to honor all previously agreed upon lease
agreements.
When can I expect to get my deposit back?
Unless lease states otherwise, if the property is in the same
condition (within reason) you will have your deposit returned 15-30
days after moving out. If there are issues affecting your deposit
you will be formally notified.
If the property is listed for sale can the owner show
the property to prospective buyers?
If not stated differently in the lease, the owner
does have the right to market the property to buyers. They must
give the tenant reasonable notice.
What recourse do I have if the owner does not abide
by what is expected?
We, as the property manager, act as your liaison to
address differences.
What are the taxes I am expected to pay?
All taxes and HOA (Home Owners Association) dues are
included in your monthly rent on an annual rental- seasonal rentals
add a total of 10% tourist tax to the gross rent
Why am I expected to pay an application for the HOA?-
This is a requirement of most Home Owner Associations to process
applications and to transfer the use of community amenities to you
during your stay. Application fees vary, but you can expect to pay
on an average of $100- $150 per stay
Are the Utilities included in my rental payment?
Unless otherwise stated, in an annual lease, the renter is
responsible for the payment of utilities. In a seasonal rental, the
owner will pay for utilities.
When is rent due?
Unless stated differently in your lease, rent is due the 1st
day of each month.
