Owner Protection

If your tenant breaks the lease in year one, we will find and place a new tenant for free.

Most Sacramento property managers will not put their placement in writing. Alpha will. Every tenant living in a property under Alpha's full-service management comes with a 12-month guarantee. If they leave early, we find the next tenant at no additional placement cost.

The cost of a broken lease

A Broken Lease Is Not Just Lost Rent.

When a tenant breaks the lease, the costs add up fast. The Sacramento average for a single bad turnover runs $4,000 to $9,000 once you add up the lost rent, cleaning and repairs, marketing, and the lease-up fee for the next tenant. Most managers will charge you the full lease-up fee a second time. Alpha will not.

Icon Vacancy

Lost rent during vacancy

$1,800 to $4,400 (one to two months)

Icon Make Ready

Make-ready and turnover

$800 to $2,500

Icon Lease-Up Fee

Lease-up 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.

1

Guarantee Window

The guarantee runs from the day the lease starts. If your tenant breaks the lease anytime in the first 12 months on a property under Alpha's full-service management, the guarantee is in force.

2

What We Replace Free

The next tenant placement. Marketing, listings, showings, screening, lease prep, and move-in coordination, all at no charge.

3

What You Still Pay

Standard make-ready costs (cleaning, paint, repairs, etc.) and any rent lost during the vacancy.

4

How a Replacement Starts

Once Alpha has possession of the rental property, we will start the replacement process within 48 hours.

From The Founder

A Boutique Manager Should Bet On Their Own Screening.

Sally LaBate founded Alpha in 1998 on one idea: accountability. The 1-year tenant guarantee, the $100K tenant liability requirement, and the typical 10-day placement timeline all reflect it. These standards apply to properties Alpha manages, not placement-only services. They show how a boutique company holds itself to a clear standard for the owners it serves.

"We believe that great tenancies begin with a comprehensive screening. Every application is evaluated fairly, consistently, and thoroughly. Protecting our clients' investments starts with placing qualified residents who will treat your property like home."

Sally LaBate, Founder

What counts as a tenant breaking the lease?

05 29 2026
Any early lease termination during the first 12 months. Voluntary move-out, abandonment, eviction for non-payment or lease violation, and job-relocation breaks all qualify.

Are there exclusions?

A few. The guarantee does not cover situations where the owner declined Alpha screening recommendation against a specific applicant, where the owner ended the tenancy themselves outside of cause, or where the property was withdrawn from management mid-lease.

05 29 2026
Marketing begins within 48 hours of the tenant giving notice or vacating. Replacement placement typically takes about 10 days once the property is rent-ready and all requirements are met.

What about the rent I lose during the gap?
05-29-2026
08-03-2026
05 29 2026
Lost rent during vacancy is the owners' expense. The guarantee covers the replacement lease-up fee, not the lost rent.

Does the guarantee renew when the tenant signs a new lease?
05-29-2026
08-03-2026
05 29 2026
No, the guarantee is on the first 12-month signed lease. If the tenant renews and stays, no new guarantee window starts.
