We are committed to providing safe, clean, and properly maintained homes to all our valued residents by complying with California Civil Codes Sections 1941, 1941.2, 1941.3 regarding Implied Warranty of Habitability and Genuine Property Management standards.

We are happy to assist in preparing the property for rent with our professional, reliable vendors. The below items must be completed before we rent any property as part of our rent-ready requirements.

  1. Professionally repaired, maintained, and cleaned to ‘hotel room ready’ condition.
  2. Carpet professionally cleaned, smelling and looking fresh.
  3. HVAC system to be in good operating condition with a new filter.
  4. Doors and locks all function properly with one key for property.
  5. Doors open and close smoothly with doorstops.

  7. All painted surfaces fresh with no miss-matched, touched-up areas and repainting is done corner to corner.

  10. No lawn care items or equipment such as mowers, hoses, tools, fertilizer, bug killer, etc.

  14. Sliding door must have vertical blinds for privacy and security.
  15. All light bulbs work inside and out.
  16. Bathroom caulking must be fresh, clean, and free of any mildew.
  17. All mechanical components are plugged in and working as designed to include HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliances, water softeners, sprinkler systems, fans, gas fireplaces, water filtration systems, etc. Any item that is not operative will be replaced, repaired, or removed.
  18. Safety railings are strong and secure.
  19. Lastly, if you provide it you must maintain it.
