Foundation Homes February 2021 Newsletter.

Welcome rain finally arrived in the Bay Area, putting the roofs of all your rentals to the test. We’re happy to report – thanks in no small part to our preventative maintenance plan including annual gutter cleaning – most properties have performed beautifully.

Our busiest time of year is approaching: RENEWAL/INSPECTION  season!  Be prepared to hear from your Property Advisor about 60 days before your lease is up to discuss your plans: renew, revise, move-in or sell.

—->If you are considering selling, the sales market is H-O-T in most categories.  While covid restrictions create some complications, if you would like to schedule a time to discuss your plans with Christopher, email hello@foundationhomes.com and we’ll get you on the calendar.

Recent (and ongoing!) legislative changes are underway for landlords with tenants claiming covid-hardship.  If recent legislation affects your non-paying tenancy, you will hear from your Property Advisor shortly.

Management Update:  Be prepared to hear from your Property Advisor about 60 days before your lease is up to discuss your plans: renew, revise, move-in or sell.
