A rental property brings together people, paperwork, payments, and physical upkeep. When those pieces are handled separately, a simple repair or upcoming vacancy can turn into a long list of calls. On Tyme Home Improvements offers property management and practical maintenance support for owners in Springfield, Dayton, and the surrounding Miami Valley.
Start with the help you actually need. You may want support with leasing and day-to-day management, or you may already manage the tenancy and need a dependable team for repairs and unit preparation. We discuss the property, your current arrangements, and the responsibilities you want covered before defining a proposal. The aim is a clear working relationship, with the owner involved in the decisions that matter.
Full property management
The tenancy. The details behind it.
Build the management scope around the rental and the level of support you need. These are the responsibilities to discuss together when planning the service.
01
Leasing & tenant placement
Finding the next tenant starts with a property that is ready to show. Discuss rental marketing, inquiries, showings, applications, and tenant screening as part of your management plan. We establish the owner's priorities and the agreed application process before moving forward, so responsibilities and approval decisions are clear.
02
Rent collection & payment follow-up
A rental needs a clear process for collecting rent, recording payments, and following up on outstanding balances. Discuss collection arrangements, payment records, and how you want updates handled. The management agreement should make it clear who receives funds, what information is recorded, and when the owner receives a report.
03
Lease coordination & renewals
Move-in dates, lease paperwork, renewal decisions, and changes in occupancy all need attention. We help coordinate the administrative steps and keep the owner involved in decisions about the tenancy. Bring any existing lease and management arrangements to the first conversation so the handover can be planned around the property as it stands.
04
Tenant communication
Questions about access, repair requests, appointments, and move-out plans need a clear point of contact. Discuss how tenant messages will be received, how work will be scheduled, and which decisions need your approval. Setting expectations early helps owners and residents understand what happens next when something needs attention.
05
Property checks & maintenance planning
Routine property checks help identify wear, unfinished repairs, and maintenance priorities. The frequency, access arrangements, and reporting should fit the property and the agreed scope. From a loose handle to a worn floor, documented observations give the owner a practical basis for deciding what to address now and what to budget for later.
06
Owner reporting & expense records
Owners need to understand what has happened at the property, what work was approved, and what still needs a decision. Discuss rent records, maintenance costs, invoices, and the type of reporting you want. A clear record of completed work and open items makes the management relationship easier to follow, especially when you are away from the property.
Maintenance & rental turnovers
Ready for the next tenant. Cared for between visits.
Vacant-unit repairs and occupied-property maintenance need different planning. For a turnover, the priority is understanding the condition of the unit and agreeing on the work before the next move-in. In an occupied home, access and communication need to be coordinated around the resident as well as the repair.
Share the full punch list rather than sending one item at a time. Grouping related repairs helps establish a sensible order, especially when wall work, paint, flooring, and trim affect the same room. If a project grows beyond routine maintenance, discuss the estimate and approval before adding more work.

Share the location, number of units, current occupancy, and whether you need full management, leasing support, maintenance, or turnover work. Include existing problems, upcoming vacancies, and any commitments already made to residents.
Define responsibilities and approvals.
Discuss tenant contact, access, owner decisions, expense approvals, reporting, and any existing service providers. A practical proposal should distinguish ongoing management responsibilities from separately estimated repairs and improvement projects.
Confirm the work before moving forward.
Agree on the service scope, fees, communication arrangements, and timing. For repair projects, provide photos and product details where available. Clear expectations give everyone a useful starting point and help prevent assumptions about what is included.
Before we get started
Property management questions.
Do you offer both property management and rental repairs?
Yes. On Tyme offers property management alongside hands-on home repair and improvement services. Tell us whether you need management of the rental, help with a vacant unit, or a defined maintenance project so we can discuss the appropriate scope.
Can I request maintenance without changing my property manager?
Yes. Property owners and existing managers can contact us for repair lists, flooring, painting, drywall, and turnover work. Share who will approve the estimate and coordinate access so the project can fit your current arrangements.
What areas do you serve?
We work in Springfield, Dayton, and nearby Miami Valley communities, including Beavercreek and Fairborn. Include the property address or city when you reach out so location, access, and availability can be confirmed.
How much does property management cost?
Request a proposal for your property and the services you want included. Management responsibilities, leasing needs, property condition, and maintenance scope should be discussed before fees and approval arrangements are agreed. Repair and improvement work also needs a clearly defined estimate.
Can you prepare a rental between tenants?
Yes. Share the move-out date, photos, repair list, and target for the next tenancy. We can discuss drywall repair, painting, flooring, doors, hardware, and other practical improvements, then confirm the work and scheduling before it begins.
How are urgent repairs and larger expenses handled?
Discuss the process before management begins, including contact arrangements, approval limits, and who makes decisions if the owner cannot be reached. Availability and response arrangements must be confirmed in your agreement. Larger repairs should have a defined scope and approval before work proceeds.
