Owners Guarantee & Program
Some of the reasons real estate investors have trusted Stevens Realty Property Management with their rental investments since 1989
Hands Off Property Management
Start enjoying the benefits of rental income without all the headaches of being a landlord. Please see our Scope of Services: Managing the Tenant & Managing the Property
Utility Management
We offer three ways to handle utilities for your rental property: Include utilities as part of the rent, charge a monthly utility fee, or make the tenants responsible for utilities. However you decide to have the utilities paid, we ensure that the cost is completely covered, so your investment earns the best ROI possible.
Oversee Insurance Claim
We don’t live in a perfect world, and the claims process is a little more complicated than just calling your insurer. However, we can assist you with the essential steps for handling an insurance claim.
Lease Renewal
90 days before the lease expiration, a property inspection will be conducted to ensure the property is well maintained. We will then do a rental market analysis for your property and adjust the rental rates accordingly. Our goal is to keep you educated on the market so you can make the right choices for your investment and increase your monthly revenue year over year.
Pet Protection Program
To alleviate your concerns about pet-related damages, we provide a Pet Protection Program. This is our guarantee that if we place a pet in your property and they cause damage above the tenant’s security deposit, we will repair the damage out of our own pockets! Please check out our Pet Protection Program for more details.
Regular Property Inspections & Reporting
Our inspections are in place to keep your property safe. A majority of expensive maintenance issues can arise from negligence. Our inspections ensure that these issues are handled quickly and effectively. Of course, many of these are situational, and anytime it is tenant-related, we will shift the cost over to the tenant. Please see our List of Property inspections.
Home Improvement Project Management
If any home improvement work is required, we can use our reliable vendor network to get you a great price. Our vendors are insured, and we will make sure they treat your property the way we want them to treat ours.
Year-End Tax Reporting
The IRS wants to know how much we remit to our clients each year. IRS regulations require rental agents and property management companies to file a 1099-MISC each year reporting the net amount paid to each client.
HVAC Filter Replacement
We have partnered with FilterEasy, Inc. to provide preventative maintenance HVAC service for our owner’s homes. Please check out our Utility Maintenance & Reduction Program for more details.
Initial Set up
Once you sign our Management Agreement, we’ll start the onboarding process right away to get you set up in our system. We will conduct an initial inspection to document the condition of the property. And we’ll check how much the property should be rented out for each month.
Tenant Placement
Finding the right tenant is the number one priority for landlords. Our extensive screening process allows us to find the perfect match for your property. Finding a good tenant upfront saves you a lot of headaches on the back end. We average less than 1.5% eviction rate on the 1500+ units we manage. Please see our Scope of Services: Leasing the Property.
Oversee Tenant Maintenance Request
We have an extensive network of qualified, established vendors that can handle all of your maintenance and repair needs. Every vendor who enters your property will have the necessary licenses and insurance.
Oversee Tenant Eviction
We will act as a liaison between you and your tenants, ensuring rent gets paid on time. If an eviction becomes necessary, we’ll represent you at court and complete all administrative tasks required.
28 Days Tenant Placement Guarantee
If we cannot place a qualified tenant in 28 days or less from when the property is listed, we will waive the first month’s management fee. Please check out our 28 Days Tenant Placement Guarantee Requirements.
6 Months Leasing Guarantee
If we cannot lease your home for at least six months, we will waive the following leasing fee.
Pet Protection Program
About The Program
Details
Summary
About The Program
Pet owners represent a large part of our market, especially for homes with 2 bedrooms or more.
Many of our owners have expressed concern about renting to families with pets as they don’t want pets to damage their homes.
Stevens Realty has an answer for this: The Pet Protection Program.
The Pet Protection Program is our promise to you that if we place a pet in your property and they caused damage over and above the tenant’s security deposit amount, we will repair the damage out of our own pocket!
This would be of no charge to you, no deductible… it is absolutely free! We will automatically provide $1,500 of coverage for one pet, $2,000 for two pets, $2,500 for three pets, and you can increase that coverage up to $3,000 for at a low cost.
To fund this protection program, we will retain ALL of the pet fees we collect from the tenants.
Details
This Pet Protection Program is included in ALL of our long-term management agreements. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee against loss. The coverage stops if you cancel our management agreement. We will pay the difference between any security deposits up to the coverage amount to make sure your home is protected from damage caused by pets.
For example, suppose the tenant has one pet and has a security deposit of $750 when the tenant leaves with pet-related damages in the property costing $1,500. In that case, the security deposit will cover the first $750, and Stevens Realty LLC will pay the remaining $750.
This protection applies to damage from cats and dogs of any breed and all other kinds of paying pets; It does not apply to service animals.
The program does not cover unapproved pets that the tenant concealed from us. Participation in the Pet Protection Program is of no charge to the owner and is required once you allow pets in your property.
Summary
We pay for any pet damage that exceeds the security deposit
No cost to property owners and no deductible
We cover $1,500 – $2,500 in pet damage in ALL of our long-term management plans for FREE
- One pet – $1,500
- Two pets – $2,000
- Three pets – $2,500
Double the limit, ($3,000) is available for $15 per month.

In addition to the regular property management services we provide our clients with, Stevens Realty now offers an Eviction Assurance Program for only $20 per property a month.
We know that finding the right resident is every homeowner’s number one priority. That is why our detailed screening process and our extensive marketing program allow us to find the perfect resident for your property. However, we cannot predict the future. It’s possible for a tenant to undergo life-changing events (loss of employment, death in the family, divorce, hospitalization, etc.) leading to delinquency requiring lease termination. When a tenant does not pay rent and does not move out, the only legal recourse is to file for eviction.
This program guarantees you that when we put a tenant in your rental home through our screening process and our signed lease agreement, and a potential eviction becomes necessary, we will cover up to $2500 of legal costs during an eviction process e.g. legal notices, eviction filing, detainer warrant, court fees, lawyer fees, court appearance for owner, writ of possession, tenant move out fee, removal of all tenant belongings.
ALSO, we offer a Rent Protection and Damage Assurance Program to protect you from losses in those areas. For the best all-around protection, check out our Owner Protection Program, which covers you in all three areas for a reduced overall price. While these are individual programs, they are best used together to minimize landlord liability, loss of rental income, and damage a tenant may cause on such events.

Stevens Realty wants to provide extra security and peace of mind for owners who are invested in long-term capital growth and want to be certain of a set income regardless of events.
The Rent Protection Program, for only $20 per property a month, is designed to coincide with the Eviction Assurance Program if it becomes necessary to fully evict a tenant on the owner’s behalf, the Eviction Assurance Program would cover the cost of the eviction and the Rent Protection Program covers two month’s lost rent of up to $2500 during the eviction process.
Evictions tend to take about 60 days on average.
It could be faster or slower depending on how backed up the courts are. During this process, your rental property would most likely not be collecting rent. This situation can leave owners with an unexpected loss of income. The Rent Protection Program is designed to reimburse the owner two month’s rent equivalent in order to give the owner a cushion while we are forcing the tenant out of the rental property. For example, if the rent on the unit is $750 per month and it takes 60 days to remove the tenant, Stevens Realty will pay the owner $1500 for the two month’s lost rent.

Damage Assurance Program

- Silver - $20 Per Month/Unit
- Gold - $10 Per Month/Unit
- Platinum - FREE
Tenant-caused damages to rental properties continue to be a top concern for homeowners. Typical homeowner’s insurance is often insufficient due to high deductibles and exclusions for damage that is non-accidental. That’s where the Damage Assurance Program comes in—as part of our eviction protection suite.
By enrolling your rental property into the Damage Assurance Program, for only $25 per property per month, Stevens Realty will cover the difference between any security deposits and up to $2,500 in tenant-caused damage, but only in the event of an eviction. This program is designed to protect you from loss when a tenancy ends through legal eviction proceedings.
Your property will be covered for damages deemed to be the tenant’s responsibility at the time of eviction. However, coverage does not apply to normal wear and tear, owner responsibilities, or tenants who vacate without going through a formal eviction process.
For example, if a tenant has a $1,000 security deposit and causes $2,500 worth of damage during an eviction, Stevens Realty will apply the $1,000 deposit first and cover the remaining $1,500.
IN ADDITION, we offer Eviction Assurance and Rent Protection Programs to protect you from legal fees and lost rent during the eviction process. For the best all-around protection, check out our Owner Protection Program, which includes all three programs at a reduced rate. These are designed to work together to minimize landlord liability, lost rental income, and damage resulting from an eviction.
Bundle all three for just $70 per property per month.
