Frequently Asked Questions About Real Property Management Sunshine City
What’s the difference between tenant placement and property management?
Our tenant placement service handles advertising, showing, and tenant screening. After the lease is signed, management is turned over to you. Our property management services cover all aspects of property management, including advertising, tenant screening, accounting, maintenance requests, site visits, and leasing issues.
Do you buy and sell properties?
We only handle residential property management and do not buy or sell homes. We specialize in the rental market but can refer you to a realtor if you decide to sell.
Do you handle maintenance requests?
Yes, handling maintenance requests is part of our property management service. We take care of everything from routine repairs to middle-of-the-night emergencies. Our team of contracted vendors are all licensed, insured, and specialize in their specific fields.
How quickly can you find me a tenant?
We will thoroughly review these aspects with you and provide recommendations to help you rent out your property as quickly as possible. Our current average time on the market is approximately 29 days, but in many instances, we can fill vacancies within just a week or two.
What does your resident screening process look like?
All potential residents aged 18 and above must complete our online rental application. Our team will review the information provided and verify income to ensure the total gross household income is at least three times the rent amount. We also conduct national criminal and eviction checks, as well as review credit and rental history. We have formal criteria for applicant approval available for your review.
Should I allow pets in my rental property?
When considering pets in your rental, keep in mind that most renters have pets. Not accepting them can reduce the pool of potential residents. You can set pet restrictions, but these don't apply to Emotional Support Animals or Service Animals, which are protected by Federal Fair Housing Laws.
What happens when a tenant leaves the property?
We conduct move-in and move-out assessments to ensure the property is in good condition for new residents and to process security deposits. We also make routine property visits to check for lease violations and maintenance repairs.
When will I receive my rent disbursement?
RPM Sunshine City processes rent payments between the 8th and 10th business day of each month, provided that residents pay their rent on time. We aim to ensure that you receive your money promptly and offer various convenient payment options, including direct deposit.
How do I access my owner statement/reports?
Owner statements, bills, and property reports can all be accessed at any time via the owner portal. If you’re having trouble logging in, please contact our office. We would be happy to help reset your account.
Will you pay my mortgage, HOA dues, property taxes, or other related property bills?
Due to the level of liability involved, Real Property Management does not make a mortgage, HOA, property tax, or related payments on your behalf. You must manage these bills to avoid any potential liens, judgments, and/or foreclosures on the property.

Do I need a cosigner to rent from Real Property Management Sunshine City?
If the potential tenant does not meet the minimum income or credit requirements, they will need a cosigner to be considered.
What is your security deposit policy?
The typical security deposit is the first month's rent plus a $250 leasing fee. We do not require last month’s rent. However, if an applicant does not meet our minimum requirements, we may require a higher security deposit (two months' rent plus the $250 leasing fee).
Is the security deposit refundable?
The first month’s rent portion of the security deposit is refundable, provided the property has been maintained in good condition. If the property has been damaged and needs repair, the security deposit is applied to remedy the damage, and any remainder will be refunded. The $250 leasing fee is not refundable.
Can I have pets when renting from RPM Sunshine City?
The first thing to do is confirm that the property you want to rent is pet-friendly. If the property owner approves, the other requirements are a pet deposit and rent.
