Do you have the required rental property license from DC Government?

If not, Anacostia River Realty Property Management is here to help. All homeowners are required, regardless of type of rental property; whether condo, coop, single family, English basement, or townhouse, to have a District of Columbia Basic Business License. It doesn’t matter if you own one or fifty properties. There is a $2500 fine for failure to comply. 

Maintenance

To save you money, we can use our own in-house maintenance team to provide quality and timely maintenance for your property. Therefore, you don't have to pay the exorbitant rates charged by others; nor does your property have to wait until they can work it into their schedule. This can save you hundreds of dollars per year. All repairs are approved by the owner.

Maximizing net operating income for each property requires the implementation of uniform management systems which increases operating efficiency and preventative maintenance to minimize the need for potentially high-cost emergency spending.

While most tenants take care of their own snow removal and lawn-care, we also can provide lawn-care and snow removal options. And of course we provide 24 hour emergency service  seven days a week.

Inspections

Periodically, we make a thorough inspection of your unit, both inside and outside. This helps us insure lease compliance and makes sure your property is being cared for properly.

Evictions / Collections

If rents are not paid by the 6th of the month, we begin the processes necessary to collect rents and/or evict tenants.

Accounting

You will also receive a financial statement each month which will show monies collected and any disbursements that have been made. We can provide numerous reports including tenant rental histories, property rental histories, end of year tax information to your accountant, and a host of other reports with the touch of a button. We can also disburse money within one week of rent collection.

We charge a percentage of rent collected based on the number of units rented.
