Placing Better and Well-Qualified Santa Rosa Tenants

We specialize in locating and attracting your perfect tenant. Many tenants pay rent on time and take good care of your property. This should only be the minimum standard to which we hold residents. When we’re placing tenants, we’re looking for communicative, responsible partners who are seeking a long-term home. 

We spend a lot of time talking to Santa Rosa owners who have had bad experiences with tenants. Maybe you wasted significant amounts of time chasing down late rent or cleaning up the damage left behind by poorly screened residents. Our tenants come with peace of mind. We make an effort to find renters who respect the property and the requirements of the lease agreement.

Fair Housing Compliance & Consistent Screening Process

Our screening process is rigorous and detailed. It’s also compliant with all state, federal, and local fair housing laws. 

We understand that rental laws in Santa Rosa and throughout California are strict and complicated. New regulations are introduced almost every year, and it’s easy to make a costly mistake.

Instead of setting yourself up for a tenant dispute or a fair housing claim, work with the team at Redwood Residential to screen and place tenants. We keep our process documented, fair, and consistent. 

Our written rental criteria is written and provided to every individual who is ready to fill out an application for your property. This saves everyone time and keeps our process transparent. Applicants know exactly what we’re looking for before they even apply.  

Screening Santa Rosa tenants in Rincon Valley, Bennett Valley, Hidden Valley, Grace Tract, Wikiup, Oakmont, Fountain Grove, and McDonald.

Strict Santa Rosa Screening Protects Your Investment

We know what can be considered and what must be ignored when we’re screening potential tenants. We know that we can restrict pets but not service animals. There are lots of little details that require close attention during the screening process. We’re organized and well-documented, which means you’re protected from both legal mistakes and terrible tenants.

When we’re screening potential residents for your Santa Rosa rental property, we’re looking at:

  • Nationwide eviction history.
  • Nationwide criminal convictions.
  • Review of credit history and report.
  • Employment and income verification.
  • Verifying rental history.

Finding the right resident is one of the most important things we do while managing your Santa Rosa rental home. You need reliable screening data and consistent expectations, and that’s what we deliver during our screening and leasing process.

Moving in & Managing the Lease: Welcoming a Qualified Tenant

Once we’ve approved a well-qualified tenant, we prepare to move that tenant into your property. This includes collecting the security deposit, first month’s rent, and any other move-in funds like pet fees.

Read More

We’ll also inspect the property thoroughly, creating a documented move-in condition report which reflects how the home looks at the time tenants take possession. 

We go over the lease agreement in detail because we need your tenants to understand our expectations and their responsibilities. We talk about our rent collection policy, late fees, utilities, and how to request repairs. We make sure they understand the process for emergencies and how to contact us if they have any questions.  

As the owner of the property, you don’t have to do any of the work or worry. Everything is taken care of for you by our qualified leasing agents and experienced property managers. This is what you can expect when you work with an expert Santa Rosa property management company.

My property manager who I inherited prior to Redwood Residential owning the company is fantastic. The rest of the company leaves a lot to be desired. I often get emails from other property managers telling me they are going to be my new property manager due to confusion in the office. I have yet to speak with Michael the owner since he refuses to answer or return any emails or phone calls.

Quick efficient and great at communicating. I don’t live close to my property so it’s great to know it’s in capable hands. Rates are reasonable and they placed someone in the home within a month of it being available to rent.

Recently had a bad experience. Drove by our property and found our beautiful front yard over grown with weeds and my apricot tree was dead. I cried. We hired someone to cut the tree down and pull out all the large weeds. I talked to the renters and asked them to please start watering. I will have to start coming down (an hour and a half away) to check on our property. What use is having a property manager?

They’ve managed the property where I have rented and lived at for over 11 years for the past three years. I’ve been requesting for them to fix the heater that never worked fix holes in the exterior wall, fix mold, and not up to code electrical. I have reached out via email phone. I’ve reached out to our property manager, I’ve reached out above him. I was promised a call by the supervisor I have had to call again due to issues here at the house and issues with our property manager (manager ) from Redwood property management and waiting for them to address this and reach back out to me and they have not , been trying to push forward this issue to a supervisor for over a month now with absolutely no luck No one has reached out to anyone in our unit to try and rectify this or to fix any of the issues addressed.

I had a situation with a challenging neighbor who was renting a house from Redwood Residential. I reached out to RRPM several times with no response, but eventually received a response after leaving a public review. It's worth noting that it took an extended period of time to get the assistance I needed, which was somewhat frustrating. This was a peaceful neighborhood where the people coexist harmoniously. However, things changed when RRPM rented the house next door to another homeowner. The renter's music was consistently at an ear-splitting volume, even with all our windows and doors shut. It often made it difficult to enjoy activities like movie nights or family dinners without being drowned out by the obnoxious bass. This situation was beyond disruptive. To add to the frustration, these neighbors consistently lacked consideration for others. They frequently blocked the community basketball hoop, obstructed the mailboxes, and even parked in a way that completely blocked my driveway, making me late to pick up my child from school. It took several more months of dealing with this challenging neighbor and several complaints later for them to move out. I'm not sure if it was a voluntary move or an eviction, but either way, the situation was eventually resolved. I don't know if management directly resolved the situation, but they did try to assist, and their reputation is important to them, so that's something. In the end, I'm neutral about my experience with RRPM. They did eventually address the issue, but it took an extended period of time and a public review to get their attention. If prompt resolution had been achieved, it would have saved me a lot of stress and frustration. If you decide to choose RRPM, I would suggest clarifying expectations for response times and issue resolution. I do think they care greatly about their reputation and will work with you to maintain a good standing with their customers, which is reassuring.
