Hi Residents, 

Please review the information below and contact your property manager if you have any questions.

Rent Assistance

If you are struggling or unable to pay rent there are programs available to help.  We’ve worked with a lot of tenants and/or worked with several of the agencies to get rent assistance funds for them.   There are a few programs that are listed below, however, this is not an all-inclusive list as there are many programs out there with varying eligibility requirements:

Texas Rent Relief- https://texasrentrelief.com/

Travis County- https://www.traviscountytx.gov/health-human-services/rent

City of Austin- https://www.austintexas.gov/rent

If you do work with any of these, or any other programs please give them Stone Oak Property Manager as the landlord/manager, if an email address is needed contact us to get that, and you can provide them with our main number of 512-617-6766.

Appliance Policy Change

We are always looking to improve operational procedures to have positive effects on our clients and their bottom line. We are adapting our Maintenance and Repair Policies to save you even more on operating costs. We are working towards eliminating requests for cosmetic repairs and other repairs not deemed urgent or necessary for your residents to live comfortably in your investment property. One important item we want to remove from your maintenance responsibility are Non-Real Property items; i.e. Washers, Dryers and Refrigerators.

In Texas, washers, dryers and refrigerators are 'non-real property items' which makes them unwarrantable. This means you, as the landlord, are not obligated to provide, repair or replace them during the tenancy if written into the lease in this manner. Effective immediately, we will begin implementing this change and this will result in releasing you from the responsibility of continuing to maintain these appliances. This can be determined on a case-by-case basis. Of course, if you wish to continue maintaining these appliances, you are welcome to do so and can specify so when the time comes. As leases come up for rene...

Rent Assistance

There are still several active programs that are offering rent assistance to those in need.  We have worked with quite a few tenants successfully to get this done and are happy to work with those who need it.  You will need to contact either the State, City, County, or other local programs to get the process started, and then provide us with your case ID or other information so we can contact them to provide our info.

Life Expectancy for Your Property

Your rental property should be an investment that grows with time and our top priority for our landlords in ensuring their property's longevity. To do so, regular maintenance must be done on the home as well as the replacement of items and features that are becoming outdated in the home. While your rental property may be a new purchase for you, chances are that home was built years, if not decades ago, and properties will deteriorate with time. 

When should you be replacing items in your home, such as cabinetry, caulking, etc? Read our blog about the Life Expectancy of Your Austin Rental Home to learn about the lifespan of the many different components that make up your rental property.
