Chicago Rental Management

Why Hire a Property Manager?

Been transferred and think you may return?
Want to buy a bigger home and it's not a good time to sell?
Looking to diversify your investments and create passive income?

These are the reasons you would consider being a landlord. The next thought... the horror stories. You've heard them and they are terrifying. We make Landlordship possible without the stress and liability you are worried about.

Why Choose TruHaven Homes?

Time. Experience. Value.

Time is the only thing we can't get more of. Tenant communication, maintenance needs, preventative maintenance that all takes time. Do you have time to get 3 estimates for your new air conditioner that went out in the heat of summer? Your toilet overflowed this holiday weekend. Do you know what to do to get the water removed and keep your tenants/home safe? Your tenant is late with their rent or in default of their lease, what do you do? Who wants to do all of that? Who has the time? We do.

We have relationships that create value for you. We get priority service and pricing that you will not get on your own consistently. That value comes from vendors, experienced staff, attorneys, accountants and more.

We know the laws and stay up to date with changes as they occur. We are 100% Fair Housing compliant. We have been to court and know what to expect and what the process will be. We have taken care of homes just like yours 100's and 100's of times. Our experience is your armor.

About Chicago

Chicago, officially the City of Chicago, on Lake Michigan in Illinois, is one of the largest cities in the United States. As of the 2017 census-estimated population of 2,716,450, Chicago is the third most populous city in the United States after New York and Los Angeles, and the most populous city in both the state of Illinois and the Midwestern United States. It is the county seat of Cook County. Chicago is the principal city of the Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as "Chicagoland." The Chicago metropolitan area has nearly 10 million people, is the third-largest in the United States of America, fourth largest in North America, and the third largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. The city is also the birthplace of the skyscraper, and considered the most influential architectural city of the 20th century. Chicago saw the creation of the first standardized futures contracts at the Chicago Board of Trade; today its successor has evolved into the largest and most diverse derivatives market in the world, generating 20% of all volume in commodities and financial futures.
