Answers to your frequently asked questions
Property Management Made Simple for Virginia Owners
At Key Keepers Property Management, we help owners protect their investments, care for their tenants, and support stronger communities through professional, reliable property management.
Getting Started
-
How do you determine the rental price for my property?
We complete a rental analysis using current market data, comparable properties, and local Hampton Roads trends. Our goal is to price your property competitively while helping you maximize long-term return. -
How long does it take to rent my property?
Timing depends on pricing, condition, location, and current market demand. We focus on attracting the right qualified tenant—not just the first applicant.
Marketing & Tenant Placement
-
How do you market my property?
We market your property online with clear listing details, quality photos, and coordinated showings to help attract strong applicants. -
How do you screen tenants?
Our screening process may include:
- Credit and background review
- Rental history verification
- Income and employment verification
- Pet screening, when applicable
All applications are handled consistently and in compliance with Virginia Fair Housing guidelines.
Rent Collection & Owner Payments
-
How do I get paid?
Owner payments are made by direct deposit. You will also receive a monthly owner statement showing income, expenses, and account activity. -
What happens if rent is late?
We follow the proper Virginia process, including issuing required notices when needed. We communicate with owners throughout the process so you know what is happening.
Maintenance & Property Care
-
How is maintenance handled?
Tenants submit maintenance requests through our system. We coordinate repairs with trusted vendors and keep owners informed, especially on larger repairs. -
Can I use my own vendors?
Yes, as long as your preferred vendors are properly licensed and insured. -
Do you inspect the property?
Yes, we perform property walkthroughs to help identify concerns early and make sure the home is being properly cared for.
Legal Compliance & Peace of Mind
-
What if an eviction is needed?
While careful screening helps reduce risk, evictions can happen. If needed, we guide the process professionally and in compliance with Virginia law. -
Do you help with Virginia rental requirements?
Yes. We help owners understand local rental requirements, notices, inspections, and processes that may apply to their property.
Communication
-
How often will I hear from you?
Communication is one of our priorities. Owners can expect updates on important matters, monthly statements, and access to information through the owner portal. You should never feel like you have to chase down answers. That is not property management—that is hide-and-seek with your investment. -
