Why Can’t I Find a Property Manager for my Rental Home?

Have you been searching for a property manager to oversee your Oahu rental home, but everyone keeps turning you down? According to Locations Property Management, these are the most common reasons a company won’t agree to manage your property (and what you can do about it!).

Which Types of Animals are Renters Allowed to Have? If you’re the owner of a rental property in Hawaii, you might be wondering what types of animals you’re legally bound to allow—and where you can draw the line. According to the professionals at Locations Property Management, animals in rental properties fall into three categories: pets, service animals and emotional support animals (ESAs). What are the rules for pets and rental properties? The owner of a rental property may decide whether to allow pets in the property. A landlord can also set rules about the number of pets, the type of pets and the size of pets that will be allowed in the rental. If the rental property is in a condominium, tenants will need to follow the building rules. Typically, tenants are charged a pet deposit equal to one month’s rent, in addition to a security deposit. A pet deposit is used to cover any damage to the property caused by the pet. If tenants lose or give away their pet, the pet security deposit should be returned. A landlord can choose to charge additional pet rent if the unit is listed as “pet negotiable.” Do I need a pet rental application? The property management experts at Locations recommend that tenants complete a pet application, so the property owner will know what type of pet will be residing in the unit. Additionally, landlords should include a pet addendum with the rental agreement. The pet addendum should clearly state what's expected of pet-owning tenants; for example: pet insurance is required, and the property must be professionally cleaned and treated for fleas. Remember, the tenant is ultimately responsible for the behavior or their pets—including noise complaints—as well an any damages caused by their pets. What qualifies as a service animal? A service animal is not a pet. Only a dog that has been trained to perform specific tasks for an individual with a disability is considered a service animal. Other species of animals, whether trained or not, are not considered service animals. By law, a landlord cannot charge a pet deposit for a service animal, and service animals must be allowed to reside in rental properties—whether the property is pet friendly or not. Furthermore, a landlord may not request documentation for a service animal, unless the owner of the service animal is asking for a housing-related accommodation. There are only two questions that a landlord may ask tenants about their service animal: 1) Is this a service animal? and 2) What task does this service animal provide? What’s the difference between service animals and emotional support animals? An emotional support animal (ESA) is any animal that a medical professional has determined to provide therapeutic benefit to an individual with a disability. Unlike service animals, emotional support animals are not limited to dogs. Emotional support animals are not considered service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act , but they are recognized under the Fair Housing Act . Unlike a pet, however, a landlord cannot charge pet rent or collect a pet deposit for an emotional support animal. A landlord may reject an emotional support animal using the health and safety exemption, but the threat to other tenants must be real and not based on stereotypes. For example, if an emotional support animal is a breed that’s known to be aggressive, tenants may be required to show that the animal is properly trained. However, an emotional support animal cannot be refused due to a poor reputation of the animal’s breed. Check with an expert Still confused about which types of animals you’re required to allow in your Hawaii rental property, and which ones you can keep out?

Furnished or Unfurnished: What’s Better for my Hawaii Rental Property?

4worldlovers: I was born and raised in the Seattle area, educated back East at Swarthmore College and spent time living and working in San Francisco, Beijing, China and Santa Barbara, California before moving to Honolulu. My extensive network of contacts in all of these places helps me immensely when it comes to marketing luxury homes and land. My recent clients have included executives from Amazon in Seattle, Facebook in Silicon Valley, CEO's from China and entrepreneurs from Los Angeles.

More often than not these buyers discover the homes I'm representing through Hawaii Life's website, more particularly from a blog I've written about a certain home, neighborhood or the luxury market here. I love this business and love this place. I also often fall in love with the homes Im selling. My blog is the perfect place to share this information and find just the right buyer. With luxury homes the market can be very specific and I've found no better way than a well written blog to target this market.

Being the Oahu Director for HL1 affords me connections throughout the world. My clients can be assured their property is being presented to sophisticated high net worth buyers wherever they are located. Also, if you are selling and moving back to the Mainland USA, or Asia I'm happy to introduce you to the top agent in that market area.

I also enjoy helping newcomers find their place here in Honolulu. Whether it's a small cottage near the beach, a grand oceanfront home, or a condo with an amazing ocean view, I'm here to help you find it. I've learned that living in Hawaii doesn’t mean you have to relinquish your inner Urbanite. Good restaurants, hip shops, amazing cultural happenings and great beaches make for a Good Life, a Hawaii Life

"My wife and I were very pleased with the competence, local real estate market knowledge, and follow-through of Erik Hinshaw. He did video walk-throughs for us as we we on the mainland and represented us well in purchase negotiations. He made it his job to know what we wanted, finding us a great property at an equally great price. Also, he seemed well-connected and well respected by the other realtors which we view as a plus. As it costs no more to have a realtor like Erik Hinshaw on your side, I'm not sure why one would settle for less."-Dean M. (surgeon, California)
