Keyrenter Property Management: Revolutionizing Residential Property Management

Established in 2007 in Midvale, Utah, Keyrenter Property Management has swiftly become a prominent name in the residential property management industry. The company offers comprehensive services designed to provide cost-effective and stress-free solutions for property owners and investors. Leveraging cutting-edge proprietary systems and technology, Keyrenter streamlines operations to maximize property value and efficiency.

In 2014, Keyrenter began franchising to empower entrepreneurs and real estate professionals to establish their own successful property management businesses. The franchise model provides a unique opportunity to enter the booming rental market, with millions choosing to rent rather than buy.

What sets Keyrenter apart is its commitment to innovation and efficiency. The company utilizes automated systems to handle daily tasks such as tenant screening, maintenance, and data entry, allowing franchise owners to manage larger property portfolios with minimal staff.

Territory Protection

Keyrenter Property Management grants franchisees exclusive territorial rights, ensuring no other Keyrenter outlet operates within a five-mile radius of their approved location, provided performance and compliance requirements are met. This protects the franchisee’s market and operational area.

However, Keyrenter retains the right to manage properties within the territory, operate unrelated businesses under different trademarks, and allow cross-territory management under its policies. These provisions balance franchisee exclusivity with franchisor flexibility.
