Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

Below are just a few of the questions that are frequently asked by our new clients. If you have questions that are not answered below please feel free to contact us at 208-343-9393.

 

Q: What determines the rent for my property?

A: Ultimately the rental market. We use the quarterly market assessment that is done by the local chapter of NARPM (National Association of Property Managers) to determine your market rent.

 

Q: How are security deposits handled?

A: First Service Group is responsible for security deposit. We collect the security deposit from

the prospective tenant, hold it in a secure trust account until their lease ends with us, and then do a “move out” inspection with the tenant to determine any move out costs. Then the remainder after any repair or cleaning fees is refunded to the resident as per Idaho State Law.

 

Q: How are tenants selected?

A: We carefully screen each prospective tenant and verify rental history, employment, and obtain

a credit report which includes credit, criminal and evictions. For more detailed information please see our lease approval criteria.

 

Q: Do I pay for processing the tenants’ application?

A: No. This fee is paid by the prospective residents.

 

Q: Who pays for maintenance and repairs to my property?

A: The owner pays for maintenance and repairs, unless the tenant has agreed to assume

responsibly. In that case, we will seek reimbursement on your behalf from the tenant. Because

we deal with a large volume of property and have in house maintenance capabilities, we can save you money whenever possible.

 

Q: Who pays for the marketing on my property?

A: We pay for all the signage and labor costs related to marketing your property for rent . The

owner pays for the costs of advertising the property for rent in the local newspaper or any other marketing advertising desired by the owner. Most advertising is done online with no cost to the owner.

 

Q: Are management fees tax deductible?

A: Generally, as a direct expense item. However you should confirm this with your tax advisor as

your specific situation may be different.

 

Q: What is typically involved in preparing a property to be rented?

A: You should expect to make the property move-in ready for a tenant. This may

involve painting or patch work to walls, carpet cleaning, blind cleaning and minor repairs. Your property will rent quicker and demand a higher rental value if its in good condition.
