Typically starting after the 4th of July until Labor Day.Some summers are only 8 weeks long and others are 10 depending on where the 4th of July falls and the date of Labor Day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"accordion\" data-panel=\"panel-2\">Are they rentals weekly, monthly or for the season?<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-2\">\n<p>The majority of tenants chose to come for one week however we have quite a few tenants that also request multiple weeks or want to rent for the entire season. Many owners offer multi-week discounts and seasonal discount rates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"accordion\" data-panel=\"panel-3\">How do tenants find out about my property?<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-3\">\n<p>\u2022 Our Rental Website<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Walk-Ins<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Calls off our prominent rental signs on your property<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Repeat tenants<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Referrals from other tenants<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"accordion\" data-panel=\"panel-4\">Are the tenants screened?<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-4\">\n<p>Our agents speak directly with each and every tenant, explaining the regulations pertinent to your property.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"accordion\" data-panel=\"panel-5\">Who checks my home in between tenants?<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-5\">\n<p>If you cannot be here between tenants, it is best to designate someone such as a trusted neighbor, cleaning crew or property manager to check your home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"accordion\" data-panel=\"panel-6\">Can I keep some weeks for myself, friends or family?<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-6\">\n<p>Absolutely! This is your home and ever with a rental contract, you are free to reserve whatever weeks you wish prior to us securing a lease from a tenant. The sooner you know the weeks you would like to reserve the better. Also call in reserved weeks to your rental agent or rental manager. This avoids awkward situations and double booked properties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"accordion\" data-panel=\"panel-7\">Can I rent weeks myself?<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-7\">\n<p>Yes,Communication is key to avoiding double bookings. Please call us as soon as you\u2019ve booked a week so we can close that week in our rental system. Our agents will contact you upon every lease they have booked in your home as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"accordion\" data-panel=\"panel-8\">Who handles repairs?<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-8\">\n<p>We will ask you to provide us a list of any preferred appliance repair, handymen, cleaning companies, plumbers, electrical services, etc. that you use. When a \u201chelp-call\u201d from a tenant comes in, an experienced agent will take down the information and contact you before any work gets done to your property. In the case of a true emergency\u2014we will use our best judgement in order to protect your home. It is very important that we have the most up-to-date contact information for you so we can reach you during the busy rental season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"accordion\" data-panel=\"panel-9\">What is your commission and who pays it?<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-9\">\n<p>Our commission is 10% and it is paid from the rental checks we receive from the tenants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"accordion\" data-panel=\"panel-10\">What about utilities?<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-10\">\n<p>The owner is responsible for the cost of all utilities including propane tanks if you provide a gas grill. If the propane should run out during the rental week, the tenant will fill up the tank and bring the receipt to us for reimbursement from your queue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"accordion\" data-panel=\"panel-11\">What do I need to supply for the tenants?<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-11\">\n<p>We provide you with a full and complete list of everything that you should be in the rental unit.

Although pet-friendly properties are always in demand due to low inventory of them, it is completely up to you.

The amount coincides with the rental price and we can guild you with that. Typically the security deposit ranges from $500-$2000. Rarely is there ever a reason to hold security but we allow the owner 3 days from the date of \u201ccheck out\u201d to notify us if there is an issue.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, if you choose to allow pets there are also pet fees (non-refundable) and pet deposits (refundable) that can be added to the lease. Your agent will discuss these with you and the amounts for your home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"accordion\" data-panel=\"panel-14\">Will my rental property be \u201cmultiple listed\u201d?<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-14\">\n<p>Not in the same sense that a sale property is.
