Renting or leasing your property can provide substantial income producing benefits to you, but only if your property is properly managed. Rental Source’s highly trained personnel give you the freedom to enjoy larger profits from your investment while you hand the burden of management to a professional. When your leasing, maintenance and loss prevention are professionally managed, your property retains its value and returns its maximum profit with very little effort from you. Rental Source Property Management, LLC will handle all your rental needs including the following:
Marketing
Our marketing efforts will include a featured page on this website, a listing on the MLS for other realtors to see, high online presence in Zillow.com, Realtor.com, Craigslist, Sublet, Facebook, Marketplace and others. We put a sign in the yard, and send out flyers to our contacts with relocation companies. Your listing will be directed to many renters that have signed up with our company and that have described their perfect rental home they are looking for, in the area they need, and the price range they desire. There are well over 400 renters in this database at any given time, updated daily. No one benefits from vacancies, including our company. In light of that fact, while other management companies often continue to charge owners management fees on vacant properties, Rental Source DOES NOT! (The one exception is if we are managing projects or renovations while it is vacant)
Tenant Screening
We, here at Rental Source Inc, consider tenant selection a key ingredient in successful residential property management in St. Peters, MO. We are confident that our method will find the tenants you want. Our agents lease only to qualified applicants and are encouraged to sign the right applicant, not the first applicant! The landlord will always be the ultimate decision maker. We require a detailed written application and a copy of each applicant’s driver’s license from each adult to occupy the home over the age of 18. No applicant will be approved until all questions are answered to our satisfaction. We run their credit report, criminal history, civil history, verify employment and residential history. We have certain criteria we go by to approve or disapprove every applicant so that discrimination is not a factor. Click here to see a list of the standard criteria we go by to approve or disapprove.

Lease Execution and Move Outs
Rental Source Property Management, LLC protects you and your property through the constant review of our lease and addendum. The lease that is used has been drawn up and is consistently revised by the attorneys with the St. Louis Association of Realtors office. These documents are “Landlord” oriented and afford you protections many others do not. Our staff will be there for the signing of the lease and to walk thru the unit with your new tenant. We will come again for another walk thru shortly after the tenant moves in.
After the tenant moves out we will walk through the unit assessing what needs to be done to re-rent, we will fill out a detailed summary of what needs to be covered by the security deposit and release it at that time. We will then get your unit ready to re-rent in a timely fashion.
Rental payments and non-payments
Rental Source Property Management, LLC will collect the rent and handle delivering notices. Evictions are handled by an attorney of your choice and we help along the way from beginning to end, including appearing in court on the owner’s behalf. You need never make contact with the tenant. We act as your liaison.
Accounting & Reporting
Rental Source Property Management, LLC maintains complete computerized records on each property. You are provided with a monthly Cash Flow Statement and additional customized reports are available for your specific needs. Monthly services include rent collection, payment of all or a portion of property operating expenses, monthly disbursement and financial reports. 1099’s are issued to you at the end of the year for the rents that we have collected on your behalf. We have partnered with a company that will report the residents rent to their credit report. Ask for more information.
Repairs & Maintenance
Normal non-emergency maintenance repairs are scheduled with the tenant during regular business hours and are affected as soon as possible, at the convenience of the tenant. For emergency situations, where there may be eminent danger to life and/or property, tenants are given Rental Source’s 24 hour,7 day a week emergency contact number. Rental Source Property Management, LLC recognizes the importance of keeping your costs down.
