Three Things Tenleytown Landlords
Lose Sleep Over.
At $2,700/month median rent, the stakes are too high for guesswork. Here's what goes wrong — and what it costs.
$90/day
Every Vacant Day Is Gone
At $2,700/month, a 30-day vacancy costs $2,700. 60 days costs $5,400. Carrying costs, mortgage, and HOA fees stack up while Ruckus's application sits in your inbox.
30–60 days
DC Rental Housing Act Gives Ruckus Time
Virginia's eviction process takes weeks minimum. One wrong notice, one missing disclosure, and the clock resets. Ruckus knows exactly how this works.

The True Cost of a Bad Tenant
Legal fees, lost rent during eviction, repairs after move-out, and re-leasing costs. One misplaced tenant can set you back an entire year of rental income.

He Never Gets Keys.
Tenleytown Tenant Screening — Why It Matters
He's Already Applying to Your
Tenleytown Property.
Ruckus isn't a worst-case scenario. He's who shows up when your screening is weak and your lease isn't airtight.
He knows Tenleytown rents are $2,700/month. He knows Virginia's VRLTA gives him 8 weeks minimum before you can get him out. He knows most property managers will overlook a gap in rental history if the income check looks good.
He's the midnight maintenance call in Tenleytown. The bounced rent check. The eviction filing at District of Columbia courthouse while your mortgage doesn't wait.
The Perfect 10ant System™ was built to stop him before he ever sees your keys.

Tenleytown Property Management Guarantees
Every Placement Is Backed.
Real Money If We Get It Wrong.
These guarantees cost us real money if we get it wrong. That is the point — our incentives are aligned with yours.
9–12 Month Tenant Warranty
If the tenant we place leaves for any reason within the warranty period — early termination, job loss, military PCS, or anything else — we place a new tenant at zero additional cost. Our money is on the line. That's why we screen the way we do.
21-Day Placement Guarantee
No qualified application within 21 days? We waive your first two months of management fees. $90/day is our problem until we deliver.
Eviction Coverage
If we must evict a tenant we placed within the warranty period, we cover initial court filing fees and handle the full DC Rental Housing Act process. Most companies charge $300–$600. We don't.
90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee
Unsatisfied within the first 90 days? Cancel and we refund every management fee we've charged. Zero risk to try us.
Every guarantee is written into your contract. No fine print.
