Marketing and leasing

How we set the rent, get your home in front of renters, show it, and sign the lease.

From empty to leased

Every vacancy follows the same five steps.

  1. Before it listsWe set the rent with youWe go over what the home should rent for and what it needs first. You approve the starting rent in writing before we list it.
  2. Listing dayPhotos and listingWe take photos and post the listing on RentEclipse.com, Zillow and the rental sites Zillow feeds.
  3. While it is emptyShowingsSelf-guided tours or a showing agent. We do not show a home while a tenant still lives there.
  4. ApplicationsScreeningEvery adult applicant is screened under our written criteria, and Eclipse makes the decision. How screening works
  5. Move-inLease and move-inThe lease is signed digitally, and we meet the tenant at the home for a move-in walkthrough.

What owners ask about leasing

Leasing fee$497

When a new tenant signs a lease of six months or longer. Not charged if the last tenant broke the lease and paid the early termination fee.

Advertising$100

A flat fee each time the home is listed. It covers preparing the listing and the rental sites' charges.

Renewal fee$397

When a current tenant signs a new lease term. It is lower because a tenant who stays needs less onboarding.

Your leaseAttorney drafted

We use a residential lease drafted by our attorney, a licensed Colorado attorney.

A leasing report in your inbox with inquiries, showings, applications and days on market.

OptionalVideo tour

A walkthrough video lets renters from out of the area see the home. It has its own fee on our pricing page.

Amounts shown are for our Landlord plan. See the other plans on our pricing page.

Why the advertised price is higher than your rent

Colorado's price transparency law requires each listing to show one total price that includes the rent and every charge a tenant cannot avoid, such as the Resident Benefit Package. So the advertised total is higher than the rent you receive. The tenant pays for the package, at no cost to you.

Slow to rent

When it is not renting

We look at the leasing numbers first. Sometimes the answer is price. Often it is photos, condition or follow-up, and a price cut would not fix any of those.

We will not lower the rent below the starting rent you agreed to without your written approval. What an empty month costs

Renewals

When the lease comes up

We handle the renewal, including a renewal inspection, and we review the rent price each year. Colorado law limits when a tenancy can be ended or not renewed after the first year, and allows a rent increase no more than once in any 12 months. Eclipse follows those rules.

We manage long-term rentals. Eclipse does not manage short-term or vacation rentals.
