Scripps Ranch Property Management Company

Our Property Management Services

At Penny Realty, Inc., we provide a full suite of professional property management services designed to protect your investment, reduce stress, and improve rental returns.

Tenant Screening

A great rental experience starts with placing the right tenant. Our tenant screening process is built to identify responsible, financially stable renters who will care for your property and honor their lease terms.

Every applicant is thoroughly evaluated through credit checks, background screenings, eviction history searches, income verification, and rental history review.

We contact previous landlords to confirm payment reliability, lease compliance, and property upkeep. Employment is verified to ensure income stability, and all applicants must meet clearly defined criteria before approval.

Our application process is consistent and fully compliant with federal and California Fair Housing regulations, giving you confidence that your tenant selection is both fair and reliable.

Property Marketing

Minimizing vacancy periods is essential to maximizing your cash flow, and that begins with powerful property marketing. We showcase your rental with a professional listing designed to attract qualified and motivated tenants.

Each listing includes a compelling description, high-quality photography, and detailed highlights of your property’s features. We emphasize what matters most to Scripps Ranch renters, safe residential neighborhoods, top-rated schools, quiet streets, and access to shopping, trails, and major employers.

We use online scheduling tools, digital advertising strategies, yard signage, and prompt inquiry responses to increase visibility and accelerate showings. This aggressive and strategic marketing approach consistently delivers faster leasing and fewer days on market.

Leasing Agreements

A well-written lease is one of your strongest forms of protection as a landlord. Penny Realty prepares legally binding, California-compliant lease agreements that eliminate gray areas and set clear expectations for tenants from day one.

Our leases include essential terms covering rent due dates, security deposit handling, late fees, utilities, pets, guest policies, HOA regulations, smoking rules, yard maintenance, and more.

Before move-in, we conduct a full lease signing and orientation with tenants, ensuring they understand all responsibilities and community rules.

This level of clarity reduces future disputes, improves tenant accountability, and streamlines enforcement throughout the lease period.

Move-In Inspections

Before a tenant moves in, we perform a detailed move-in inspection that thoroughly documents the condition of your property. This inspection includes photos, written notes, and video when necessary.

We record the condition of flooring, walls, appliances, windows, doors, fixtures, landscaping, and more. Tenants review and sign the inspection documentation, confirming the condition of the home at move-in.

This creates a clear benchmark for comparing property conditions during move-out and helps prevent disagreements over security deposit deductions. Proper documentation also protects you from liability and provides evidence in case of tenant damage disputes.

Regular Property Inspections

Protecting your investment means staying proactive, not reactive. Penny Realty performs routine property inspections throughout the year to ensure your rental stays in excellent condition.

These inspections allow us to monitor lease compliance, identify unauthorized occupants or pets, and detect early signs of issues like leaks, pest activity, or maintenance neglect. We provide inspection reports with photos and recommendations to keep you informed about your property’s condition.

By catching small problems early, we help prevent bigger and more costly repairs in the future. Regular inspections also encourage tenants to properly maintain the home, reinforcing property care standards.

Rent Collection with Online Payments

Cash flow is the backbone of any rental investment, and consistent rent collection is essential. We offer a secure online tenant portal that allows residents to pay rent 24/7 using ACH transfer, debit, or credit card.

Tenants receive automated reminders, reducing late payments. If rent is not received on time, our team enforces lease policies and follows a structured, professional collection process.

We handle payment tracking, late fees, and legal notices when required. Funds are deposited directly into your bank account, and you can monitor payments in real time through your owner portal. This system ensures faster rent collection with fewer issues or delays.

Maintenance and Repairs

Proper maintenance protects your property value and keeps tenants satisfied. Penny Realty coordinates all maintenance and repair requests quickly and efficiently using a dedicated service team and trusted network of licensed, insured vendors.

Tenants can submit maintenance requests online 24/7, and emergencies receive immediate response. We troubleshoot issues upfront to reduce unnecessary service calls and communicate updates along the way.

Whether it’s routine repairs, seasonal maintenance, appliance replacement, plumbing issues, or vendor coordination, we handle everything professionally and transparently. All expenses are itemized and included in your monthly statement, giving you full financial visibility.
