For Property Owners

Focused on returns. Committed to people.

As investors ourselves, we know you need clear communication, transparent pricing, and confidence that your properties are cared for both frugally, yet strategically. Stewardship was built to deliver exactly that.

Why Stewardship

Ten years, one philosophy.

Why owners choose Stewardship — in our own words.

How we manage

Everything that happens between rent checks.

  1. 01

    Marketing & Vacancy Reduction

    Strategic rental marketing that gets your units filled fast — priced right, advertised well, and aimed at minimizing vacancy days. Listings go up on every major rental site within 24 hours.

  2. 02

    Resident Screening

    Thorough screening including credit, employment, criminal background, and landlord references. Three-tier system (Platinum / Gold / Silver) sets a clear bar — done with fairness and full legal compliance.

  3. 03

    Rent Collection

    Reliable rent collection with online payment tools, professional handling of late fees, and — when needed — the full eviction process managed end-to-end by our team and attorney network.

  4. 04

    Maintenance & Repairs

    In-house technicians and vetted subcontractors keep residents happy and protect your investment. Our warehouse-stocked bulk materials cut costs; phone-first diagnostics avoid unnecessary trips.

  5. 05

    Financial Reporting

    Transparent monthly reports available 24/7 through your secure Owner Portal — plus customized reports dropped into your inbox as frequently as you want, at no additional cost.

  6. 06

    Eviction Management

    When eviction is necessary, we manage the entire process efficiently and respectfully — following Ohio law and direction from our attorneys across Stark, Summit, Wayne, Holmes, and Tuscarawas counties.

Owner FAQs

Will you handle evictions?

Yes. If an eviction becomes necessary, we manage the entire tenant eviction process from start to finish.

Our attorney handles filings and court appearances, and our licensed SPM agents serve notices and testify when needed. You'll be informed and protected every step of the way. The Eviction Representation Fee is $129 per filing; the Notice Posting Fee is $59.

Why is there a service fee for maintenance?

Our $59 service fee covers the internal time it takes to coordinate with the tenant, gather materials, and schedule the work. We've priced it as low as possible without cutting corners or sacrificing efficiency.

We also attempt phone-first diagnostics on every issue — meaning we try to resolve the problem before dispatching anyone, which saves clients thousands annually.

Can I handle my own maintenance?

We've learned from experience that when owners try to coordinate their own repairs while we manage everything else, communication gets messy and tenant satisfaction suffers.

To serve residents well and keep our fees low, we require that all maintenance requests go through our system.

Are you insured?

Absolutely. Stewardship Property Management carries a comprehensive insurance policy to protect both our company and our clients. All subcontractors are also required to carry active liability coverage.

We do recommend that owners maintain their own landlord insurance policy as well, to cover building replacement, liability, and tenant-related claims.

How often will I receive financial reports?

Live financial reports are available 24/7 through your Owner Portal — you never have to wait for a monthly call. Beyond that, we can drop customized reports into your email as frequently as you'd like, at no additional cost. Many of our owners take a weekly summary; others log into the portal directly.

What does your management fee actually include?

Your monthly management fee covers ongoing management of the property, resident communication, rent collection, lease enforcement, financial reporting, and the day-to-day work of keeping your investment performing.

Full Service clients also get new unit onboarding, utility overage monitoring, utility invoice handling, and rent payment processing (checks/money orders) at no additional cost. There is no initial reserve required.

Leasing, eviction representation, and maintenance work are billed separately and transparently — see our pricing page for the full breakdown.
