Full Rental History Screening

To eliminate unnecessary legal liabilities and delinquency, we thoroughly screen all applicants and select the best-quality tenants possible. Placement of the right tenant is possibly the single most important aspect of successful rental property management, with less chance of expenses resulting from a renter’s misuse or negligence of the property, or worse. Quality tenant placement also results in lower evictions, and Utopia Management proudly maintains less than a 1% eviction rate for our clients. We go beyond just checking employment and income by also verifying licenses, social security cards, and pay stubs. Industry-specific credit reports are obtained with past eviction record searches, and further including contacting previous landlords for renter references. We also offer the optional “Utopia Eviction Protection Program” for added safeguarding and peace of mind.

  • Exceptional property protection options for owners.
  • Preparation, delivery, and execution of legal documentation for evictions.
  • Optional “Utopia Eviction Protection Program” for additional peace of mind.

Reliable Quality Maintenance and Repairs

After decades in the market, we have had the opportunity to partner with many local vendors for maintenance and repair needs of all sized and scope. Our business relationship with our list of preferred vendors typically means we receive lower than market rates for services needed. For regular maintenance or specialty and difficult needs that may otherwise be difficult to outsource, the use of our in-house technicians (through general contractor’s license #792427) provide a reliable and cost-effective option. At Utopia Management, we handle it all, from move-in and move-out inspections with video, to 24-hour emergency call response.
