Marketing
Our marketing is arranged to best suit your needs and target qualified clientele. We only manage properties where we have become very familiar with the market conditions in that area and realize maximum rents while minimizing vacancies.
Tenant Screening Process
We evaluated our Tenant selection process and continually revise our Tenant Lease Agreements to reflect the most update legal mandates. We thoroughly screen applicants and monitor our properties regularly. To ensure the best qualified Tenants are selected for the properties under management, we have adopted the following screening process.
Tenant Screening and Selection Process:
Completion of our Rental application.
Supporting documentation, i.e.: valid driver’s license, valid social security card, and/or Tax identification number.
Last two checking statements and last two tax returns in the event tenant is self-employed. Investigate for Non-sufficient funds activity, and how it was resolved.
Full credit check from the major credit reporting agencies.
Debt ratio is determined in order to determine if Tenant is qualified.
Civil and Criminal background check for bankruptcy, collection accounts, late payments, Unlawful Detained Actions – Evictions. Criminal check for criminal activity, this includes checking The California Department of Justice’s “Registered Sex Offender” Data base.
Verify current and past employment.
Investigate Tenant’s current and past rental history. Includes, payment history, condition of property when Tenants vacated, would the landlord re-rent to the Tenants.
Property Manager Screening and Selection Process:
A Property Manager verifies and reviews all documentation submitted.
A Property Manager will personally determine if Tenant is qualified. (Owner may be involved in the selection process if requested)
At the direction of a Property Manager, a team member will notify Tenant whether he/she is qualified. If qualified, a $500.00 deposit is required and collected before the property is taken off the market. Once the Tenant moves in, the holding deposit becomes part of the move-in deposit. The move in date in most cases shall not exceed 30 days. This allows the Tenant to make all the necessary notifications.

Accounting
Our Computerized Accounting Program is quick, clear and concise. All accounting is electronically and manually backed up to prevent any lost data. Our reports can be adjusted to meet your needs.
Benefits:
All accounting is done in-house.
Rent monies are sent directly to us, the Tenant has no idea where you live, and cannot contact you directly.
We can pay any or all of the expenses associated with your property, if requested.
You set a limit as to the amount that can be spent for maintenance and repairs. Any expenditure beyond that limit must be authorized by you.
Usually within 3-5 days of receiving all rents, we can issue you your check with a full accounting of what has been collected and what expenses have been dispersed.
We will serve three (3) day notices to “Pay Rent or Quit” if rent has not been paid by the fifth day of each month.

Legal Actions
Unlawful Detainer Actions “Evictions” are not a common occurrence, but time and unforeseen occurrences do happen. People go through divorces or may suffer some type of calamity.
These actions are referred to local Eviction Attorneys who we have worked closely with for many years. The Spaven Company Property Management works with the Eviction Attorneys, from the beginning to the end of this process.
We also screen the success rate of our contracted Eviction Attorneys. We currently hold a 100% success rate in those rare cases when this type of action is needed.
