Property management in Prairie Village, one license per rental.

Staying inspection-ready all year.

Because the city describes annual exterior inspections for single-family rentals, curb appeal is a compliance matter as well as a marketing one.

• Roofs, gutters and downspouts. Check for damage and drainage problems twice a year.
• Siding, paint and trim. Watch for peeling paint and wood rot on older homes.
• Walks, steps and railings. Trip hazards are easy to miss and costly to ignore.
• Yards and trees. Mature trees need pruning and clear lines away from the roof.
• Windows and doors. Seals, screens and locks affect comfort and security.
• Trash and storage. Spell out expectations in the lease.

Interior condition matters just as much to residents. Mid-century homes often have smaller closets, original bathrooms and basements that double as living space, so we document the condition of each at move-in and again at move-out. Those reports, stored in the cloud and available in your owner portal, make security-deposit accounting objective. Under Kansas law the deposit must be returned within 14 days of determining what is owed, and no later than 30 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant demands it.

Our inspection reports and quarterly exterior photos give you a dated record. See the make-ready checklist for what to review between residents.
