Who can help get my house ready to rent in Southwest Austin?

Cofield Property Management gets Southwest Austin houses ready to rent using written Rent Ready Standards that apply to every home. Texas law sets some of the basics. Landlords have to provide deadbolts, door viewers, and working smoke alarms, and they have to rekey the locks within seven days after a new tenant moves in. Southwest Austin also has plenty of homes from the 1980s and 1990s, where an older air conditioner or water heater deserves a look before the summer heat.

Under Cofield Property Management's Rent Ready Standards, every home is rekeyed. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, deadbolts, peepholes, and latches are all checked. The home's systems and appliances are checked, the air filters are replaced, the house is professionally cleaned, and the yard is tidied. Before any work is scheduled, Cofield Property Management explains what the house needs and what it will cost. The owner pays for make-ready work, which is separate from the management fee, and every expense is recorded in Buildium. Before keys are handed over, a pre-move-in inspection documents the condition of the house.

Justin Cofield, the contact for Cofield Property Management, has lived in the Austin area for 22 years.
