Any repairs under $500 will be conducted by Property Manager without the owner’s approval in order to expedite simple repairs that may be affecting the lifestyle of the tenants. However we will always use the fastest and best priced vendor available at that moment in time.
Our standard process is to ask for owners approval for any repairs over $500, however, if the repair is an emergency, i.e., refrigerator, stove, oven, water leak etc. then we must move forward with a repair or replacement without owner’s approval in order to comply with Hawaii’s law and landlord tenant code.
All new leases start with a 6-month fixed term. We will conduct an inspection 4 months into the new lease to insure the property has been well maintained and the tenant is a good fit. Lease renewals are sent out if the tenant passes inspection.
Vacant properties are advertised on 35 marketing websites including Zillow, Trulia, Hotpads, Zumper, etc. A marketing fee of $1.23 per day will be charged to market your property on these major websites. Once we secure a new tenant the online listing will be removed and you will not be charged a daily fee.
We require the first full month of rent at the start of the lease and the second month is pro-rated.
All new leases start with a 6-month term, and then you will have an option to renew your lease.
We only accept a cashier’s check or money order for both the security deposit and first month’s rent. After you move into the property, all rent payments may be done online or with a personal check. All rent checks will be made to ILC & Swell Realty LLC.
Security deposit is equal to the monthly rent amount. It is due shortly after your application is approved. Once you provide the security deposit, we will stop advertising and showing the property.
It depends on the property. Most of our owners do not allow pets, however, please reference the online rental listing. If pets are allowed, we require a signed pet addendum and a $500 fully refundable pet deposit. There is no additional cost other than the refundable pet deposit.
It depends on the property. Most properties include water, sewer, trash and do not include electricity or gas, however, please reference the online rental listing.
