• Personal Showings: A Lansford Property Management agent will personally meet each prospective tenant at the property.
• Rental Property Special Features: How many bedrooms and baths? Is it near the CARTA bus line? Is there a fenced-in yard? Nothing captures a prospective tenant´s attention more quickly than a helpful description of amenities-a common feature in Lansford Property Management advertising.

Tenant Screening & Placement

• Credit Checks: Lansford Property Management carefully checks each applicant´s credit history, pulling information from a national consumer credit agency.
• Employment History: Lansford Property Management carefully checks each applicant´s employment history, to verify his or her ability to pay rent each month.
• Check with Previous Landlords: Lansford Property Management contacts all known past landlords to verify each applicant´s track record of paying on time, creating disturbances, etc.
• Key Duplication: Lansford Property Management changes all locks after each departing tenant, and duplicate keys are kept in a secure place for emergency access.
• Attorney-Approved Leases: All lease forms are approved by attorneys in the state of Tennessee or state of Georgia to maximize owners´ legal protection.
• Walk-Through before Signing: So that repairs are properly billed to tenants (rather than the owner), a Lansford Property Management agent will walk through the entire property with each before signing.

Proactive Property Maintenance

• Proactive Maintenance: Maintaining or upgrading systems before they fail can save our owners thousands of dollars.

• Carefully Screened Vendors: Lansford Property Management only uses bonded, licensed and insured contractors for all repairs and maintenance.
• Minimal Inconvenience to Tenants: As much as possible, repairs are conducted and contained in such a way to minimize imposition on tenants and the place they call home.
• Property Values: Our proactive approach to property maintenance and careful tenant screening both ensure that your property will not lose value on our watch due to neglect.
• Utilities Rollover: During tenancy changes, utilities are automatically rolled over to Lansford Property Management to ensure that power and water aren´t cut.
