We advertise in the Union Democrat, Homefinders, through our 800 number system, and here on our own website, www.SonoraRentals.com
Rental Prep
Complete cleaning including windows and repairs, carpet cleaning, painting, installation of items required by California law, i.e., smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and front-door deadbolts can be taken care of through our maintenance crew, Handyworks.
Screen Applicants
Potential tenants are pre-screened with a credit check, job verification, references, and rental history. Sonora Home Rentals does not provide a one-time tenant placement service. We feel that our loyalty lies with our contracted owners who have vacancies.
Collect Rents
All rents are collected by the 5th of the month and property owners are paid by the 10th of the month, usually sooner. If you provide us with deposit slips, we can deposit your funds in the local branch of your bank. This proves to be very convenient to owners who travel or live in another country.
Pay Outstanding Bills
In cases where the owner pays for sewer, water, and/or garbage, these bills can be paid out of rents before dispersal of your funds.
Statements
We issue monthly statements and annual income statements with your 1099 for tax purposes.
Maintenance
On-going maintenance and emergencies are handled by our maintenance crew, Handyworks. Should the cost of the work required be above your Repair Fund limit ($100), a bid will be submitted. You may then either accept the bid, get competing bids, or do the work yourself.
- Be-annual maintenance checks are performed at a base cost of $25 to keep your rental in tip-top shape. Smoke detector batteries and furnace filters are changed at this visit. Maintenance workers also not if the home and yard are well-kept and if there are any unauthorized pets or visitors.
- Homes with evaporative coolers are on a maintenance schedule to be made ready for summer and then winterized in the fall.
- All our homes are scheduled to have the roofs blown off, trees that touch the house trimmed, and gutters cleaned before the rainy season every year.
Every time we happen to drive by your rental, we will take a good look. We will send you a not to that effect every now and then. If something looks awry, we will take action to correct the problem and you will be notified.

Eviction services, including Unlawful Detainer actions are performed at no other cost than court costs and service fees on tenants that Sonora Home Rentals has screened and placed in your rental. There is a 10% fee for all monies collected from a court order. Though we have had a very good track record have have only evicted a handful of tenants, no tenant has remained in the unit more than 6 weeks from service of their 3 Day Notice.
Move-out/Move-in
After written 30 day notice is received and acknowledged, a walk-through is scheduled and the tenant is informed as to what items need to be cleaned or repaired. Any items noted on the walk-through that the tenant does not perform are deducted from their deposit.
The tenant's contract states that professional carpet cleaning will be performed and deducted from their deposit. The itemized disposition of deposit is sent to the former tenant by the date required by law.
Items of normal wear-and-tear, such as painting and other needed maintenance is performed as quickly as possible to have your property vacant for the shortest time period possible.
