Chicago's Only Landlord-Focused Apartment Rental Service

Our philosophy is simple: we take care of landlords like no one else. We have over 15 years of experience providing excellent tenants to the best landlords in Chicago. We've done this by focusing on the landlords' needs and cultivating long-term relationships with the best landlords in the city. How do we do this?

1. We Never Provide Questionable Tenants

Our relationship with the landlord is the basis of our business. We will never jeopardize that relationship over one tenant. Tenants come and go--our relationship with you, the landlord, is long-term. Just ask one of the hundreds of landlords who have, for years and years, listed only with The Homestead Group.

2. Credit and Reference Checks BEFORE Submitting the Lease

We do credit checks and call references before we submit the lease. That's right...BEFORE we call you. We do our homework so we don't waste your time and most importantly your marketing time. When you take your apartment off the market because The Homestead Group has a tenant, you can rest assured you will not have to worry about the deal falling through.

3. Our Superb Lease

Our lease has been refined over the past 15 years to protect landlords from unacceptable tenant behavior. Our attorneys have fashioned a rider that covers nearly every situation or contingency that could negatively impact a your or your property. Our loyalties lie with you, and our goal is to protect you. We guard against such things as pet damage, excessive noise, types of parties allowed, waterbeds, and numerous other situations. Of course, we will also incorporate into our rider any terms you desire.

4. Unparalleled Marketing

Research shows nearly 100% of prospective tenants start their search online. We have the most amazing online tools in the industry: the only interactive-map apartment search in Chicago, amenity maps of all Chicago neighborhoods, and allow renters to save their favorite apartments.

Also, we advertise where the renters are: we have special Chicago Reader print and online ads that insure your apartment stands out from the crowd, constant uploading of ads to CraigsList.org, Yelp!, Kijiji.com, HotPads, Oodle, and hundreds of other web sites. We will get your property maximum exposure exactly where it needs to be.

5. The Best Agents In The City

Most of our agents have been with us for years. They know your neighborhood, how to sell it, and they know how to rent your apartment. Come rent with the best.

6. Free Renewals

Bring us the info and we'll renew the lease for you, free of charge. Less paperwork for you is always a good thing.

7. Free Re-Rentals If Tenants Leave Unjustifiably

It's as simple as that--if a tenant we place in your apartment leaves unjustifiably, we will re-rent the apartment at no cost to you. We have that much confidence that we will provide you with not only credit-worthy, but trust-worthy tenants.
