Rental Management Solutions for Property Owners
If you are looking for freedom from the day-to-day stresses of managing your rental property or are planning to rent your home for the first time, you have found the best source for information and help. Whether this is your first or fiftieth, we provide property management services to property owners and investors just like you.
RZ Realty’s goal is to provide you with professional help and advice to make renting your property easy and profitable and allow you the freedom to live your life without the cloud of your rental property hanging over your head.
Through our own first-hand experience with other Columbus-based property management companies, we realize the need for property management that focuses on providing a high level of service to both the property owner and tenant while maximizing the profitability of the property.
Nothing is more frustrating than being distracted by a request for repairs from a tenant while you are on vacation, or at work in the middle of the afternoon!! Knowing that someone is there to receive the call and addressing the issue efficiently and quickly gives me peace of mind. I can pretend to be a landlord while Boundless Management does it all; market the property, select a tenant, collect the rent, maintain the property if needed and deal with any issues as they arise. Who said being a landlord was difficult? It ain’t if you got a little help?!! ? Thanks for all you do!!

Showings:

Rather than you having to drop everything to go show your property, your rental property will be shown personally by one of our on-staff licensed real estate agents. We will not allow the prospective tenant to self-show your house and every effort will be made to keep the property looking great throughout the showing period. No one will have access to your home other than our leasing agents and property management staff.
Tenant Screening:
- We take the guesswork out of tenant screening
- Credit, criminal, and sex offender background checks.

“They seem like nice folks” doesn’t cut it. We review credit, criminal history, and eviction history. We even go as far as to verify income and employment, as well as previous rental history so you can rest assured that your property is being rented by a qualified tenant who will take care of your asset and pay rent on time. We will advise you of the pros and cons of each applicant and keep you compliant with Equal Housing Opportunity laws
