Our staff of about 15 includes agents who show properties; application processing specialists; maintenance managers who oversee the experienced, insured contractors who care for the properties we manage; financial staff who process income and expenses and report to property owners; a computer specialist who maintains this Web site and our e-mail list; and the president who is the primary liaison with property owners.

Services for Renters

Yarmouth Management will help you find a property that suits your needs. We will provide you with information about properties that are available on a daily basis (Houses and Apartments for Rent Today or by E-mail), will discuss your needs, and will explain the individual units so that you can understand their layout. Agents will take you to see the properties and will help you complete our simple application. (How To See a Property). You need to see the inside of a property to complete an application.

Our one-time, non-refundable application fee is $20 for each adult who will live at the property. Applications that meet our criteria are good for six months on any property that we have available. All applications received in a given business day for a particular property will be considered. They are not accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you are chosen to rent a property by the property owner, you will have 24 hours after notification to come to our office and sign the lease and pay a security deposit equal to one month’s rent with a cashier’s check, money order, or bank transfer. That will hold the property for you. When you move in, you will pay the first month’s rent, again with a cashier’s check, money order, or bank transfer.

After that, our connection with you and the property owner may or may not end. If you have rented a property that Yarmouth manages, you will pay your rent to us and will call us with maintenance requests.

If we do not manage your new residence, we won’t see you–except as a neighbor–until it is time for you to find your next home.
