How are applicants screened?

Our success starts with a rigorous tenant screening process. After all, securing reliable tenants benefits everyone.

We’ve developed a proprietary screening system that evaluates key factors such as income, credit, rental history, employment, and background checks—everything we need to determine a tenant’s likelihood of fulfilling their rental contract.

Here’s a noteworthy stat: using our 21-point scoring card, Rice Real Estate & Property Management has never had to evict a tenant we’ve placed in a property.

How is maintenance and turnover handled?

Fast follow-ups on maintenance requests keep tenants happy and properties in top shape.

We work closely with owners to advise what repairs should be prioritized or deferred, balancing tenant satisfaction with maximizing your rental income.

Your property deserves the best, which is why Rice Real Estate & Property Management partners with highly rated vendors to handle repairs swiftly and efficiently.

Our trusted professionals ensure the job is done right the first time. Protecting your investment is our top priority.

How do we market and advertise?

We’re all about attracting top-tier tenants. Rice Real Estate & Property Management casts a wide net, listing your rental property on multiple platforms while reaching out to over 14,000+ local agents.

Unlike other property management companies, we understand that flexibility matters.

We respond to inquiries 7 days a week, ensuring potential tenants get answers and showings when they’re available—even on weekends!

Plus, we upload virtual walk-throughs to YouTube, so prospective renters can tour the property without leaving their homes. With our streamlined process, rent-ready homes find a quality Tenant within 14-21 days of being on the market.

How much rent will my property bring?

Rice Real Estate & Property Management constantly monitors the Henderson NV and Las Vegas NV markets, giving you the most accurate rental rate recommendations.

We analyze several factors, such as how quickly you need to rent your property and how it compares to the local competition.

Ultimately, the final rental rate is up to you—we provide expert advice, but you call the shots.

What condition does my property need to be in to attract quality tenants?

First impressions matter; properties that aren’t “Rent Ready” tend to sit on the market longer and attract less desirable tenants.

To get the best results, ensure your property shines with fresh paint, clean floors, and fully functional systems.

Quality tenants aren’t interested in “what’s coming”—they want to see a move-in-ready home.

Are pets allowed in rental properties?

It’s good to know that 65-70% of renters have pets. Not allowing pets reduces your applicant pool, which could lead to longer vacancies. If you do allow pets, we’ll use Pet Application Process to maintain a pet profile and affidavits, complete with a pet lease addendum and additional security deposit.

Keep in mind that service animals are not considered pets and are protected by law. 

We’ll handle the screening for service animals to ensure compliance with HUD’s Fair Housing Act.

Rest assured, we’ll navigate any insurance concerns regarding breed restrictions or other pet-related issues.

What happens when my property needs repair?

Fast follow-ups on maintenance requests keep tenants happy and properties in top shape.

We work closely with owners to advise what repairs should be prioritized or deferred, balancing tenant satisfaction with maximizing your rental income.

For repairs under $300, Rice Real Estate & Property Management handles everything. For larger repairs, we’ll get your approval first, unless it’s an emergency.

Maintenance emergencies, such as flooding or electrical hazards, are tackled immediately to prevent further damage or risk to tenants.

Nevada law requires landlords to keep properties in habitable condition, and we make sure to stay on top of that for you.

What happens if my tenant doesn’t pay rent?

We don’t mess around when it comes to rent collection. Rent is due on the 25th, and if it’s not paid by the 2nd, we will follow up immediately.

By the 3rd, if payment still hasn’t been made, we issue a demand notice for non-payment.

Most tenants resolve the issue quickly, but if they don’t, Nevada law allows for a 7-day grace period before pursuing eviction. In rare cases where the tenant doesn’t pay, we’ll move forward with legal action to protect your investment.

What if the tenant vacates and leaves the property needing repairs?

Once a tenant vacates, we conduct a thorough move-out inspection, comparing it to the initial move-in report (complete with photos). Any damages beyond normal wear and tear are billed to the tenant.

Who holds the tenant’s security deposit?

Nevada law requires that security deposits be held in a separate trust account, managed by Real Estate & Property Management. The NV Real Estate Division reconciles the account annually to ensure safe keeping of all trust funds.

How often do you check on my rental property?

If we suspect an issue (late payments, neighbor concerns, etc.), we can perform an interior inspection with 24-hour notice.

Additionally, we conduct regular Quality Assurance checks to ensure the property is well-maintained. Neighbors are also encouraged to contact us if they have any concerns.

Turn your property into a powerhouse of potential.
