Owning rental property in Missouri can be rewarding—but managing it day to day? That’s where it gets tough. From midnight maintenance calls to late rent payments, tenant screening headaches to legal paperwork, landlords often find themselves buried in responsibilities they didn’t expect.
That’s where a professional property management company like Homestretch Property Management steps in. So, what exactly does a property management company do for landlords in Missouri? Let’s break it down.
1. Tenant Screening and Placement
Good tenants are the backbone of a successful rental. Property managers handle:
- Marketing your rental listing
- Pre-screening inquiries
- Running background, credit, and rental history checks
- Conducting in-person showings
- Lease signing and move-in coordination
Result: Lower vacancy time and fewer problem tenants.
3. 24/7 Maintenance Coordination
Maintenance issues pop up at all hours. We handle:
- Emergency repairs (HVAC, plumbing, electrical)
- Routine maintenance and seasonal upkeep
- Vendor coordination and invoice handling
- Tenant repair request portals
✅ Result: Happy tenants and well-maintained properties—without the 2AM calls.
5. Property Marketing & Vacancy Management
We use online platforms, local advertising, and proven strategies to fill vacancies fast. This includes:
- Professional photos & listings
- Syndication to top rental websites
- Local area targeting (St. Louis, St. Charles, Lincoln & Jefferson Counties)
✅ Result: Shorter vacancy periods and higher tenant interest.
7. Ongoing Communication with Tenants
We act as the buffer between landlord and tenant, managing:
- All tenant communication
- Conflict resolution
- Lease renewals and notices
✅ Result: Professional tenant relationships and better retention.
2. Rent Collection and Financial Reporting
Tired of chasing payments or dealing with bounced checks? We streamline:
- Online rent collection
- Automated payment reminders
- Late fee enforcement
- Monthly financial statements
- Year-end tax documentation
Result: Consistent cash flow with less stress.
4. Legal Compliance & Evictions
Missouri rental laws can be complex. We help landlords:
- Stay compliant with Missouri landlord-tenant laws
- Draft legally sound lease agreements
- Issue notices (nonpayment, lease violations)
- Coordinate legal evictions if necessary
✅ Result: Lower legal risk and faster resolution of problem situations.
6. Move-In / Move-Out Inspections
We protect your investment by documenting property condition:
- Pre-move-in inspection reports with photos
- Post-move-out inspection for damage documentation
- Security deposit withholding in accordance with Missouri law
✅ Result: Clear records and protection against disputes.
