Frequently Asked Questions
At Pathway Sales and Leasing, it is our job to streamline the entire process of renting your property. We have professional experience with screening tenants, marketing properties effectively and preparing the properties for rent. We will ensure your property is on all available marketing websites (Zillow, Trulia, Rent.com, Etc.) as well as our company social media account. Our main goal is to reduce vacancy periods, this means more peace of mind for you.
We service Marion, Hendricks, Johnson, Morgan, Boone, and Hamilton county.
Our minimum rent accepted is $900, anything less than that amount per month will be considered.
It can depend on the property, since no two are alike. But if you work with Pathway Sales and Leasing to prepare your property, you should estimate the following times to complete any needed updates:
- 3 days for relatively minor updates (minor damage, holes in walls, etc.)
- 5 days for more complex updates (carpet, painting, appliance repair, and replacement)
- 2 weeks for major updates (linoleum, plumbing, and electrical systems)
After the property is ready to rent, our team will advertise it and find the tenant that is the best fit.
In order to find a good tenant, Pathway Sales and Leasing will perform a full background check along with the potential tenants application. This includes a credit and criminal history check. We will also verify their employment, income, and rental history to check for falsehoods, previous evictions, or a history of late payments.
The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination concerning the sale, rental and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin or sex. As a property management company, we absolutely will not discriminate in any of these categories when screening potential tenants. When we deny an application, we will notify them in writing the reason for denial.
Tenants pay online via our secure website portal. All payments are secure and trackable.
At Pathway Properties Sales and Leasing, we provide tenants with a system they can use to send maintenance requests 24/7. For emergencies, we handle the maintenance requests right away. The tenants being, health, and wellness is our number one concern.
The landlord does, most of the time. This generally counts normal wear and tear on the property.
Yes. Each property requires a $500 Reserve account maintenance reserve that is used in the case that expenses for maintenance exceed the amount of rent that is collected for that month. If the $500 is used during that month, we require it to be replaced.
If the maintenance request is $500 or less, we will add it to your account and will be viewable through your Owner Web Access portal at the end of the month. If it is a larger item such as a water heater replacement, then we will get an estimate and your approval before any work is done.
This is ultimately up to you. Allowing pets means you can select from a wider pool of prospective tenants, but it also opens the potential for liabilities. Pathway Properties Sales and Leasing screens all pets before they move into your rental property to ensure the property is suitable for the pet that the potential tenants own.
Our company requires an on-boarding fee of $200 if it is the first time we are working with your property. To place a tenant, we require a flat fee of $799 no matter what your property’s rent is!
9% of gross monthly rent collected or minimum of $100 per month. This fee is applied against the rent collected each month.
