  • Why does Lexington PMC publish its rates?

    Lexington PMC provides superior service for reasonable fees. Management fees are determined by rental rates — which is the best measure how complicated and demanding an asset is likely to be. All clients with identical properties pay identical fees for identical services. Property Owner’s deserve better than being kept in the dark by managers that behave like used car salesmen.

  • How does my tenant pay their rent?

    Tenant’s log into their secure LexingtonPMC.com Tenant Portal and pay their rent electronically. Tenants can select automatic debit via the Electronic Cash Payment (“ECP”), Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) E-Check or Credit Card payment options imbedded in the Lexington PMC website. No lost checks. No “checks in the mail”. And, no bank holiday or weekend delays.

  • Why Do Lexington PMC Tenants Pay On Time?

    We make being a Tenant as important to building credit as leasing a car or getting a bank loan. Lexington PMC Tenants know that late payments are automatically reported to credit agencies. As a result, they are far more likely to pay on time, every time. Our system is directly linked to the Experian Rent Bureau, giving Tenants a good reason to make their rent the most important payment they make every month!

  • How does my tenant report maintenance repair requests?

    For routine repairs, Tenant’s log into their secure LexingtonPMC.com Tenant Portal and report the problem. Our maintenance staff is immediately notified and Tenants are notified by email every step of the repair process. For emergencies, Tenants contact us 24/7 at (888) 588-8958.

  • How often are financial reports provided?

    In addition to 24/7 access via their secure Owner Portal, monthly financial reports are provided to owners and their designated professionals including accountants.

  • When and how do I get paid?

    Every month, the balance in each property’s custodial account above the Emergency Maintenance Reserve is automatically transferred into an account designated by the Owner.

  • How much is the Emergency Maintenance Reserve?

    The amount of each property’s Emergency Maintenance Reserve (“EMR”) is mutually agreed between the Owner and Lexington PMC in the Property Management Agreement. Typical EMR’s range from $500 to one month’s rent. The older the property the higher the recommended EMR.

  • Does Lexington PMC hold the Security Deposit?

    Security Deposits are typically released to Owners. However, Owners who do not want to have to write a check to Tenants at the end of their leases leave the security deposit in their custodial account to function as their Emergency Maintenance Reserve.
