Our Commitment to Excellence in Property Management
At Prosper, we go beyond the basics. While we rigorously adhere to South Carolina's implied warrant of habitability (SC Code § 27-40-440 (2020)), we set our own standards even higher to ensure that every property we manage not only complies with legal requirements but also meets our stringent criteria for quality and comfort. This commitment ensures that each property is not just legally compliant but also a welcoming, well-maintained home for tenants.
Rent Ready Standards
Our Rent Ready Standards are designed to enhance tenant satisfaction and preserve the value of your investment. We believe that a property in excellent condition at the start of a lease sets the tone for a successful tenancy. Below, you'll find the detailed standards we uphold to prepare your property for new residents, reflecting our dedication to superior property management and tenant care.
