Owner FAQ

Straight answers to the questions rental owners ask us most. Don't see yours? Call the property management office and ask — we'd rather you know exactly how we work before you sign anything.

Our management agreement spells out fees, responsibilities, approval thresholds, and how to end the relationship if you're ever unhappy. No lock-in tricks, no surprise charges — 55 years in this community doesn't survive on fine print.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are your management fees?

Fees depend on property type and portfolio size. Contact our property management office for current fee schedules — we'll put everything in writing before you commit.

Who holds the security deposit?

Security deposits are held in accordance with Tennessee law and accounted for at move-out with a documented condition comparison.

What if my tenant stops paying rent?

We follow a firm, legally compliant process: notices, communication, payment plans where appropriate, and coordination of eviction proceedings when necessary.

Can I use my own contractor?

In most cases yes — tell us your preferred vendors and approval limits, and we'll coordinate around them.

How do you set the rental rate?

We run a rental market analysis using comparable leased properties in your area — priced to minimize vacancy while maximizing income.

Bender Realty went above and beyond to help us find our dream home. Their local knowledge and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
