FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes, if Dzuy Realty is not handling tenant placement. When Dzuy Realty handles finding the new tenant, no management fee is charged during vacancy. Other property expenses and optional-service fees may apply.
Owners maintain a $500 reserve for emergency repairs and other authorized property expenses. The reserve is owner funds, not a management fee, and must be replenished when used. Optional services and property-related costs may be charged separately under the agreement.
Possibly. Before taking over management, Dzuy Realty reviews the current lease, deposit records, payment history, property condition, and relevant documents.
The owner pays for repairs and maintenance and is the approval contact for proposed work. Dzuy Realty coordinates service with owner approval, subject to the spending limits and emergency authority in the management agreement. If a site visit is needed to assess an issue and obtain a quote, Maintenance Assessment & Coordination is $150 / trip. Contractor, material, and repair costs are separate.

THREE GUARANTEES FOR LANDLORDS
An added layer of protection for your rental, with three guarantees and practical benefits when the unexpected happens.



These are maximum benefits for qualifying events, subject to policy terms and claim approval. See the FAQ below for eligibility and separate costs.
Contact Dzuy Realty to check your property’s eligibility and enroll. We will confirm the start date after our partner accepts the property; earlier events are not covered. For approved claims, Dzuy Realty helps with documentation and remits proceeds actually received, less authorized deductions. We are not the insurer and do not advance losses or pay denied claims. Insurance is provided by Accelerant Specialty Insurance Company; the plan does not replace required owner insurance.
The charge is usually collected with rent. If rent has not been collected, the charge remains due and may be paid from available owner reserves or invoiced; tenant security deposits are not used. To cancel, send a written request. The effective date and any refund follow partner terms. The 21-day claim-free cancellation right is not a waiting period for protection.
Full-time professionally managed properties with monthly rent of at least $1,000 and an initial lease of at least six months may qualify. Self-managed and leasing-only properties do not qualify. Rent protection is calculated using the lesser of the current lease rent or $3,000/month. For occupied properties, tenants who are not current on rent and have not paid on time for the previous two months are ineligible for the loss-of-rent, eviction and malicious-damage guarantees until the conditions are met. New tenancies must fulfill their financial obligations. Contact us promptly after an event for help with documentation, requested proof within 90 days and the policy’s claim process.
Owners bear the $1,500 per-event deductible for malicious-damage and theft claims and fund or reimburse it under the agreement; the certificate holder pays it under the policy. Tenant security deposits do not fund this deductible. The $100 charge excludes repairs, deductibles, court and attorney fees, and additional management services. Ordinary wear, ordinary damage and vacancy between leases are outside these benefits. Reimbursement depends on claim approval. Claim assistance costs 10% of proceeds actually received for every claim we assist with, including Protection Plus. No proceeds means no percentage fee.
