Prospects submit an online application and if they meet our criteria they are conditionally approved. This application is evaluated by our internal admin team and we verify the information, requesting supporting documentation. Our aim is to find a quality tenant as quickly as possible, but this does not mean we will cut corners in our background checks. Some prospects object to how thorough we are and consider our requests for an overreach. Our response is uncompromising, as it is our job to ensure that we find the right fit for your property.
Move-in Process
Once we have approved a prospect, we collect advance rent and a security deposit and move forward with the lease. Our leases are prepared by an attorney and protect the landlord to the fullest extent of Florida Law.

The Florida Landlord Tenant Act is updated regularly, and we ensure the lease between you and the tenant recognizes the latest changes. Each lease is customized, taking into consideration your property, HOA or community specifics. Capturing the condition of a property at move-in is a key responsibility of a management company. At Gulf Coast we utilize the latest 3D virtual tour technology to record every inch of your property. This attention to detail prevents messy security deposit disputes when the tenants come to the end of their lease.
Thorough Inspections
At Gulf Coast, we consider inspections to be the cornerstone of effective property management.

In addition to the move-in inspection, we will also inspect your property 90 days after occupancy. We use this inspection to ensure the tenant is abiding by the terms of their lease and assess how the tenant is looking after your property. If necessary, we take this opportunity to reset expectations, reminding the tenant of their responsibilities. If a lease renewal is agreed with your tenant, we will perform a renewal inspection prior to executing the new lease being signed. Using the original move-in inspection as the baseline condition we consider how the tenant is looking after your property and whether a new lease should be signed. Understanding that the landlord has effective oversight in place will encourage the tenant to stick to the terms of their lease and look after your property For your convenience, all inspection reports, including photos and comments are stored in your Owner Portal. You have access to this information 24/7. 365 days a year.
Comprehensive Maintenance Options

How maintenance events are handled is critical to the success of rental property ownership. Poorly maintained properties is the #1 reason tenants do not renew. At Gulf Coast we have created oversight that addresses necessary repairs. Tenants can submit work orders online and/or call our 24/7 call center. Many of the repairs requests that we receive are either simple fixes or user errors that can be fixed remotely. Rather than dispatch immediately, our skilled maintenance staff attempt to troubleshoot the problem without expense being incurred. As a landlord within the Gulf Coast network, you will have exclusive access to our in-house maintenance services. In addition to extremely competitive rates, we demonstrate value in other ways too; Gulf Coast technicians assess repairs from an owner’s budgetary perspective. Considering all options before incurring unnecessary expenses. In addition, before applying the charge to your ledger, we consider if the repair was due to damage or neglect on the part of the tenant. Vendors are often reluctant to make this determination. By employing in-house maintenance, we can turn properties quickly and reduce expensive vacancies. In contrast, coordinating multiple vendors can be challenging, expensive and frustrating. Our maintenance team is insured, licensed and EPA certified. We also guarantee our work. We also understand you may have your own maintenance preferences, including warranties and we can certainly customize a maintenance solution that works for you.
