Full-Service Management Service
High Tide Properties believes that a good property management company is a motivated one. That is why we charge a performance-based management fee as percentage of collected rents.
If your property is vacant, we don't get paid.
High Tide Properties provides a full menu property management services for a flat rate of 8% of collected rents.
- No Additional Leasing Fee: If the property is vacant, we will find you a tenant for no additional fee!
- Every showing is a guided showing. We never give out the key to an empty home like some of our competitors do.
- We can do same day showings and weekend showings unlike many of our competitors do.
- Management Fee Rate: Rent collection, property maintenance, and accounting services.
- Single Family Home / Condominium / Duplex / Triplex / 4-Plex - Management fee for residential properties that are 1-4 units is 8% of collected rent ($100 minimum / month).
- 5-8 units - Management fee for 5-8 unit apartment complexes is 7% of collected rent.
- 9-15 units - Management fee for 9-15 unit apartment complexes is 6% of collected rent.
Units under 15 do not require an on-site manager by law but it is our experience that any property with 8 or more units can benefit from an on-site manager and it is often worth the relatively small cost. - 16+ units - Management fee for 16+ unit apartment complexes is just 5% of collected rent, but an Owner paid on-site manager is required by law. We work with the on-site manager to handle the showing and leasing.
Leasing Only Services
If you just want our help in finding a tenant, then manage the property yourself, we can still help! We will handle the advertising, showings, tenant screening, lease signing, and collecting the move-in rent & security deposit. We do it all for you for 50% of one month's rent ($495 minimum). We work to obtain a 1 year lease, unless otherwise directed by the Owner.
Our Leasing Only Service pays for itself if we save just 2 WEEKS off your vacancy period.
Our Leasing Service is a great option for hands-on owners or out-of-town owners who want to manage the property themselves. You only pay the fee after we find you a tenant so there is no up-front costs. If we can't find you a tenant within 30 days you can cancel the service and you pay nothing! You have absolutely nothing to lose.

Because we only get paid only if we collect rent, we are motivated to find a good tenant for your rental ASAP!!! The right tenants can't find your vacant rental if they don't find out about it.

Tenant Screening
Once interested tenants fill out and submit an application, we do not blindly take just anyone as tenants. We know that there are good tenants and there are bad ones. We have a rigorous screening process that identifies the good tenants from the bad ones. We do the following:
- Credit history check and evaluation
- Unlawful detainer record check to ensure no prior evictions
- Verification of applicant's SSN, income, and job history
- Verification of two previous landlords and current employer
- Terrorist database check (most companies do not do this even though legally required)
- Bad check writing history check
Lease Management & Rent Collection
High Tide Properties insures that all areas of concern are covered tightly through a written and signed lease so that there are no uncertainties for the Tenants. Most Tenant lawsuits are due to vague leases and misunderstandings that grow into major problems. We prevent landlord liability through the following lease management services include in our management fee:
- Up-to-date lease agreements that include changes in the law
- Collect rent, security deposits, and late/NSF check fees
- Establish and enforce community rules
- Signed and verified Tenant inspection check list
- Eviction service assistance and court appearance to assist paid lawyer eviction service (client pays actual legal fees). Eviction assistance is included, you only pay for actual court filing fees and lawyer fees if the case goes to court.
Evictions are the hardest and the most costly misfortune to affect a rental owner. If you don't have
professional help on your side, it can easily cost you 3-4 months of rent. We offer our assistance in
evictions included with Full-Service Management agreement.
