What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need a municipal occupancy permit or inspection to rent my St. Louis property?
Requirements depend on the property’s municipality. St. Louis City requires a valid Certificate of Inspection before a rental unit is occupied, while municipalities within St. Louis County maintain their own rules and schedules. Avenue identifies the applicable requirements and coordinates required inspections and code-compliance work for full-service management clients.
How much can my St. Louis rental property lease for?
Rental rates vary significantly depending on micro-location/neighborhood, square footage, property layout (e.g., single-family vs. multi-family flat), level of cosmetic updates, and seasonal market demand. Avenue provides a complimentary, data-driven Rental Price Analysis utilizing real-time MLS and localized comp data to ensure your rental yield is maximized while minimizing vacancy time.
What are your management fees?
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing with no hidden charges:
- Leasing Service Fee: 50%–100% of one month’s rent, depending on the property and management agreement.
- Full-Service Management Fee: 5%–10% of monthly rent collected, with final pricing based on the property and portfolio.
- Additional Fees: A $295 startup fee and a lease-renewal fee of 25%–50% of one month’s rent apply. Avenue does not add an outside-vendor maintenance markup.
