Common Questions

How much does Southern Housing charge to manage a rental property?

The monthly management fee is 10% of rent collected for an unfurnished property, or 15% for a furnished one. Separate from that monthly fee there is a one-time $250 setup charge per property (plus $75 per additional unit), a tenant placement fee of 30% of the first month's rent when a new tenant is placed, and a $150 annual renewal. Southern Housing also retains 50% of any late fees collected and holds a $250 reserve per property. The complete fee schedule is published at scproperty.management/pricing.

What does the monthly management fee cover?

The 10% monthly fee covers rent collection and tracking, bill payment and owner disbursements, maintenance coordination, five-day notices and late fee management, and owner reporting through TenantCloud. Tenant placement and property setup are billed separately because they happen once rather than every month.

What areas does Southern Housing manage properties in?

Southern Housing LLC manages residential rental property in Aiken County, Barnwell County and Bamberg County, South Carolina. The company is based in Williston, SC and manages roughly 90 to 100 units, mostly single-family houses along with duplexes and small apartment buildings.

How does Southern Housing screen tenants?

Every applicant 18 or older who is not a dependent submits a separate application and receives a full credit and background check. The published screening criteria are applied identically to every applicant and are posted publicly at southrent.com/requirements, including the income standard, the two credit paths, and how collection accounts are weighed.

Who pays for repairs, and are they marked up?

Owners pay for repairs to their own property. Materials are billed at cost with no markup, and labor is billed at Southern Housing's published in-house rates with a $40 minimum service call. The owner keeps final approval on any repair over $400.

How does an owner get started with Southern Housing?
