A La Cart Services

As a property management company, we offer a wide range of services.  Property management, leasing up vacants, turning vacants, maintenance, and evictions.  We also have auxiliary services of lead safe certification, HVAC (install & clean & checks), and pest control.

While we are proud to offer services in an a la cart manner, we do bill in advance of services in many cases.  Our rates would be spelled out in our management agreement.  In some cases, depending on scope of work, we can provide incremental billing.

But, in all cases, for all services, if payment from the owner is not timely received, our services will terminate.  We've just had too many owners sign the mgmt agreement (knowing what our rates are) then balk at paying, yet they still want services.  Or, the owner wants to change terms of payment and or challenge the cost of the services we provide midway thru the process (again, after they've already signed the agreement and know what our prices are).


I get there are some that want to pay by check only.  Some folks aren't comfortable using apps or online as a means to pay.  I get it...to some extent.  But when paying by check (via the mail), it's always best to perhaps send with tracking info.  A tracking # gives you & I both peace of mind so that even if I don't get it in time for my next step in the process, I can continue my services knowing definitively the funds are on its way.  I've been burned to often with newer owners that without proof of payment via mail, I've had to terminate services immediately due to the propensity of owners not really sending funds.

City of Cleveland Lead Safe Certification Changes / Updates

Previously, the City of Cleveland only required essentially a lead clearance test to show a property was clear of lead hazzards.  Because the number of cases of children with elevated blood levels had not reduced in the 2 1/2 years this program was implemented, the City is now requiring a full fledged Lead Risk Assessment.  This requires additional reporting, additional testing (2 sets of samples are now required), AND the landlord must also get tenant(s) signed disclosure that the tenants know about the Lead Risk Assessment report itself AND the work required to be done.  The disclosure and related work would then be updated as part of the city's rental registration portal.  An occupant license / rental registration would not be issued until the work is completed by a Lead Abatement Contractor and / or RRP Contractor.  The Lead Abatement Contractor is licensed with the State Health Dept.  The RRP Contractor is licensed with the US EPA. This went into effec...

City of Cleveland planned crackdown on non compliant rental registrations

This past Feb, city council for the City of Cleveland passed the Resident 1st Legislation.  There are now additional tasks local agents in charge must certify in order for your property to be legally registered. Aspects of it include: Property taxes are current. Common area utilities (water, sewer as the example) must be current. If the property has 4 or more units, a licensed HVAC contractor must sign off on its operation. A local agent in charge must be designated...this person becomes legally, financially, and physically responsible for your property. The owner (if not an individual) must have a good standing certification with the Ohio Secretary of State). The property must be lead safe certified.  This is with the new more stringent process that will take longer to complete and cost significantly more. The bigger implications I'm anticipating is at the new year Cleveland Housing Court will want proof of this compliance at time of eviction filing for the court to consider ...
