The Cost Of A Tenant Who Walks
A Broken Lease Is Not Just Lost Rent.
When a tenant breaks the lease, the cost stacks fast. The Sacramento average for a single bad turnover runs $4,000 to $9,000 once you add up the lost rent, the make-ready, the marketing, and the placement fee for the next tenant. Most managers will charge you the full placement fee a second time. Some will charge a third time if the next placement also leaves early. Alpha does not.
Lost rent during vacancy
$1,800 to $4,400 (one to two months)
Make-ready and turnover
$800 to $2,500
Placement fee for the next tenant
$500 to $2,000 (waived under Alpha guarantee)
With Alpha, the second placement is on us.
How The 1-Year Guarantee Works
Plain Terms. No Fine Print Trap.
Guarantee Window
The guarantee runs from the day the lease starts. If your Alpha-placed tenant breaks the lease anytime in the first 12 months, the guarantee is in force.
What We Replace Free
The next tenant placement. Marketing, listings, showings, screening, lease prep, and move-in coordination, all at no charge.
What You Still Pay
Standard make-ready costs (cleaning, paint touch-ups, repairs) and any rent lost during the vacancy. The replacement placement is free, the property side is not.
How a Replacement Starts
Once the tenant gives notice or breaks the lease, Alpha begins marketing within 48 hours. Same 10-day average placement timeline as the original.
The Alpha Difference
Three Written Promises On Every Placement.
Other Sacramento managers offer one. Alpha offers three.
10-Day Placement Guarantee
We place a qualified tenant within 10 days or you do not pay the placement fee.
1-Year Tenant Guarantee
If your Alpha-placed tenant breaks the lease in year one, we place the next tenant free.
You Are Here
$100K Damage Protection
$100,000 in damage protection above the security deposit, free with every placement.
From The Founder
A Boutique Manager Should Bet On Their Own Screening.
Most Sacramento property managers do their screening, hand you a tenant, and walk away. If the tenant walks 90 days later, the manager shrugs. The owner pays the placement fee again. The cycle repeats.
Sally Friar-LaBate built Alpha in 1998 around the opposite idea. If our screening is good, we should stand behind it. If our screening misses, we should fix it on our dime, not yours. The 1-year guarantee is what holds us accountable to that standard.
We screen carefully because we have to live with the placement for a full year. The bigger guys do not have that incentive. The boutique model does.
"If our screening is good, we should stand behind it. If it misses, we fix it on our dime."
