Rental Program
What we do
Opuluxe acts as a middleman between property owners and clients who want to sublease your property for short-term stays. Opuluxe matches you with a pre-qualified tenant (our client) that does the following:
-
Pays you $100 over your asking rent
-
Signs a multi-year lease
-
Keeps your property in better condition than a regular tenant
Once our client signs your lease, Opuluxe takes over the responsibility of managing the property. This can include:
-
Screening Guests
-
Maintenance and Repairs
-
Legal Compliance
-
Marketing and Listing
-
Guest Services
-
Financial Management
WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH US
SCREENED TENANTS
At Opuluxe, we carefully screen guests for short-term rentals by examining their past reviews and verifying key details. This focused approach ensures that only responsible and respectful guests will stay in your property, protecting your investment.
24/HR SURVEILLANCE
We have cameras installed at every entrance of the home, including inside the garage, and we watch them daily to ensure that the tenants are following our house rules. We also have noise detectors inside the home that will alert us if a tenant is too loud.
WE'RE INSURED
We're covered with an insurance policy that will protect us from any potential lawsuits. The insurance provides my business and my landlords (when landlords are named in a lawsuit) coverage for up to $1 million per tenant.
LOW
Maintenance
Unlike a regular tenant, we won't bother you if there's a clogged toilet or a broken fixture. If the repair is minor and/or cosmetic, we'll pay for it and be out of your hair.
PROPERTY UPKEEP
We guarantee to keep your property in better condition than regular tenant! A normal tenant won't bat an eye if there's scuffs on the walls or broken fixtures. They aren't affected by cosmetic flaws and therefore won't put effort into fixing them. For us, it's our top priority to keep the home in pristine condition, because we understand that the damages will only get worse over time, and our tenants are older, particular people who expect the home to be in perfect condition.
HOUSE RULES
We run a tight ship! We set the following rules in place that the tenants must agree to beforehand:
-
Do not exceed the guest limit
-
No parties
-
No more than 4 vehicles
-
No speakers in the home
-
Quiet hours are between 10pm-7am. No loud talking outside or music from your vehicle during quiet hours.
-
No pets, No smoking
FAQ
How can you ensure our property will stay in great condition?
Your tenant (our client) is financially responsible for cosmetic maintenance and repairs. While landlords often fear more damage with increased traffic, Opuluxe ensures that's not the case. In fact, we maintain properties far better than a typical family. Most families ignore cosmetic issues, leaving landlords with expensive repairs at the lease's end.
Opuluxe caters to business professionals, aged 30-50, who are more mindful of property care. We're strict about maintaining appearance and our guests take great care, focusing on even minor cosmetic flaws. Immediate attention to imperfections and regular deep cleaning by our staff keeps properties in perfect condition.
What if the tenant damages anything in the house?
We're fully responsible for ALL cosmetic issues that could arise, and will keep the property in great condition. This includes but is not limited to paint, drywall, carpet stains, broken fixtures, etc. Our insurance policy will reimburse us for all damages involving the guests. In our experience, the most a tenant usually damages is our sheets that we supply them.
Would We be personally liable for lawsuits?
We’ve got you covered! We have insurance which provides ourself and our landlords (when landlords are named in a lawsuit) coverage for up to $1 million per guest.
What if you can't fully occupy the home? How will We get our money?
No worries! We only serve clients (your tenant) who are pre-qualified and are positioned to pay the rent on time regardless of the occupancy rate. We also run a comparison analysis and do research beforehand to confirm that the property will have a high occupancy rate and be profitable for our client.
What kind of guests do you rent to?
We provide corporate housing/rooms for rent to mainly corporate professionals. Coed, usually from ages 30 to 60. All are screened prior to moving in.
Do you screen your guests? IF so, how?
At Opuluxe, screening guests for short-term rentals is a priority. We carefully assess each potential guest's profile, examining past reviews and ratings from previous short-term stays. We also verify important details to ensure they align with our standards for responsible renting. This meticulous process helps us select guests who are likely to treat your property with respect and integrity, safeguarding your investment while providing a quality experience for all parties involved.
Who pays for major repairs?
We ask that the owner of the property cover major repairs including the following: Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, Water heater, Roof, and Foundation.
Are you a Property Management company?
Yep! We offer short term and mid-term management. However, with this program, we are looking to have our client (your future tenant) rent for property for multiple years while we manage it for them.
What if the neighbors have a problem with new people constantly in the neighborhood?
Opuluxe deeply cares about your neighbors comfort. We encourage landlords to share our contact information with them, and ask for you to have them inform us of any issues or concerns they should have. Should any arise, we will resolve them as soon as possible; usually the same day.
What if there isn't enough parking for all of the guests?
Opuluxe clearly communicates the parking limitations beforehand with guests. Alternative options, such as nearby public parking, would be provided if needed. Our management team is also on hand to assist with any specific issues, ensuring a smooth experience for all involved. (Note: we typically do not allow our guests to park on the street)
What if there is too much traffic in the home?
We have strict rules to prevent a lot of traffic, and limit the amount of guests in the home at one time. We also place a camera at the entrance of the home, that allows me to view who enters.The camera has an app that sends a notification to our phone everytime there is motion detected, which allows me to see everyone who enters and leaves the property. We am also at each property several times a Opuluxeek to confirm that things are in order.
Are you open to renting from properties that are in an HOA?
We prefer for properties to not be in an HOA, but if they don’t have rental restrictions, we can consider it.
Who pays for utilities and landscaping?
We will take care of both.
