What management covers
- Pricing the rent from current comparable rentals
- Marketing and showings
- Applications and screening, applying the same written criteria to every applicant
- Leases, move-in and move-out condition reports
- Rent collection and owner statements
- Maintenance coordination. Make-ready and turnover repairs can be quoted by Irvine Builders, a separate company, or by any contractor you choose.
- Deposit handling under Alabama's 60-day rule
Alabama rules every owner should know
- Deposit cap: one month's rent, with listed exceptions.
- Refund or itemized accounting due within 60 days after move-out. Miss it, and the owner can owe double the deposit.
- Tax: a rental is assessed at Class II (20%), not the 10% owner-occupied class.
