Who pays for repairs on a managed property?

Owners are responsible for all repair and maintenance costs. Alpine coordinates the work and ensures competitive pricing. You approve expenses over your set threshold, typically $250–$500.

What happens if the tenant doesn't pay rent?

Alpine enforces late fees per the lease terms and begins the eviction process if necessary. Management fees are only charged on rent actually collected.

Can I still visit my property if it's managed by Alpine?

Yes, but visits must be coordinated through Alpine with proper notice to tenants as required by law — typically 24 hours in both Missouri and Kansas.
