Frequently Asked Questions

General Dayton Property Management Questions

How is ManCo Property Services different from other Dayton property management companies?

At ManCo, our focus is on helping you build wealth through real estate. We go beyond simple property management with our Rent Guarantee that protects you against the cost of a tenant eviction. We also offer a full suite of services, including property maintenance, upgrades, and investment real estate guidance. We’re your all-in-one partner for growing your portfolio and maximizing your property’s value.

What services does ManCo offer to Dayton property owners and investors?

We are a full-service real estate management company. Our services include:

  • Residential Property Management: We handle everything from leasing and rent collection to maintenance and tenant relations.
  • Property Maintenance: Our team is prepared to handle both routine repairs and emergency maintenance to protect your asset’s value.
  • Property Upgrades & Rehab: We can help you with improvements and renovations between tenants to increase your property’s value and rental income.
  • Investment Real Estate Services: We offer expert guidance on buying, selling, and investing in residential properties to help you grow your portfolio.

What is the ManCo Rent Guarantee and how does it protect Dayton property owners?

Our Rent Guarantee is designed to give you peace of mind. If a tenant we place is evicted within the first 24 months of their lease, we will cover the eviction cost, one month of lost rent, and the leasing fee for the next tenant we place.

How does ManCo screen tenants for Dayton rental properties?

Our tenant screening process is designed to find well-qualified tenants and reduce your risk. We conduct a thorough, multi-state screening that includes a credit check, eviction history, and criminal background check. We also verify employment and past rental history to ensure a prospective tenant is reliable. Our screening methods adhere to all Fair Housing laws, ensuring a fair and consistent process for all applicants. The result is a well-qualified tenant and a strong lease agreement that protects your investment.

What services does ManCo provide for property maintenance and repairs in Dayton?

We are a full-service real estate management company with an extensive property services department. This allows us to handle all maintenance and repairs in-house. Our services range from routine upkeep to 24/7 emergency maintenance, preventative check-ups, and turnovers between tenants. Having a certified “Pest Pro” on staff allows us to address pest control issues quickly and affordably. We ensure your property is always well-maintained, protecting the value of your asset and keeping your tenants happy. We can also provide “Owner Turnover Financing” to help get your vacant unit back on the market quickly.

How are security deposits handled for Dayton rental properties?

Ohio law requires that any security deposit in excess of one month’s rent must be held in an interest-bearing account if the tenant remains for six months or more. After a tenant moves out, we are required to return the deposit within 30 days. Any deductions for damages beyond normal wear and tear must be itemized and sent to the tenant with a written notice. Our detailed inspection process at both move-in and move-out ensures we have the documentation needed to handle security deposits properly and fairly.

What are the current landlord-tenant laws in Dayton, Ohio that I should be aware of?

ManCo follows all Ohio and Dayton landlord-tenant laws. The Ohio Revised Code governs key aspects of the rental relationship, including landlord obligations to maintain a habitable property, provide essential services, and handle security deposits correctly. Our team is well-versed in these regulations, including those related to property maintenance and a landlord’s right to enter a property with proper notice. We ensure all our practices are compliant with both state law and local Dayton ordinances, including those that offer additional protections for tenants.

Should I diversify and grow my portfolio?

Diversifying and growing your portfolio is a key strategy for reducing risk and maximizing long-term returns.

A diversified portfolio can provide more stable income streams and a better chance for capital growth.

Misplaced my rent and claim that they couldn’t find it and didn’t look at the cameras to verify. Manco wasn’t always the property management for my building but since they have been for about 2 years now, I haven’t had nothing but issues
Business Owner replied on Oct 21, 2025:
We did check the cameras and you were not on there 1x. The money order that you spoke of said it had not been cashed and I believe you were getting another copy. Once that is done we will accept the rent and everything will be ok. We would not do anything with your rent payment besides put it in our system. It's an unfortunate and we will gladly accept the new money order when the bank rewrites it.

Horrible experience and the next year I have to live here will be hell. I am very disappointed and made my complaints known and nothing was done. I put in maintenance requests that are ignored and dont even have functioning outlets.
