The Donley Carver Helpline.

Northland rental properties in Kansas City or throughout Liberty, Parkville, and Gladstone are going to need routine and emergency maintenance services, even if they’re brand new and even if they’re in good condition. When you have tenants living in your property and using all of its systems and appliances, things are going to deteriorate over time.

Missouri rental property owners have some pretty specific requirements to follow when it comes to security deposit law. Many of those requirements are easy to follow. If there’s going to be a mistake or a dispute, it will likely come at the end of the lease term, when the landlord determines how much of the security deposit to return to the tenant.

We’re always surprised when we hear that landlords and other Kansas City property managers hesitate to conduct routine rental property inspections.

We have seen lease agreements as short as two pages and as long as 20 pages. They tend to be specific to the area and the particular property that’s being rented. Here are 10 terms that absolutely must be included in your Kansas City rental property lease agreement.

Tenant selection seems like it should be pretty easy; if an applicant can pass a simple credit check and has the necessary move-in funds, it’s a go, right?

At Donley Carver, we lease, manage, and maintain investment properties in Kansas City, Liberty, Parkville, and Gladstone. We also work with new investors who aren’t sure how to start the process of acquiring and managing rental real estate.
