If your tenant breaks the lease in year one, we will find and place a new tenant for free.
Every tenant we place in a property under Alpha's full-service management contract comes with a 12-month guarantee. If they leave before the end of their 12-month lease, we will find and place 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.
Lost rent during vacancy
$1,800 to $4,400 (one to two months)
Make-ready and turnover
$800 to $2,500
Lease-up fee for the next tenant
$500 to $2,000 (waived under the Alpha guarantee)
For tenants we place under our full-service management contract, the replacement lease-up fee is waived.
Guarantee Terms
How Our 1-Year Tenant Guarantee Works
Guarantee Window
The guarantee runs from the day the lease starts. If a tenant we placed breaks the lease in the first 12 months, while the property is under Alpha's full-service management, the guarantee is in force.
What the Guarantee Covers
Placement of the next tenant, including marketing, listings, showings, screening, lease preparation, and move-in coordination, with no additional lease-up fee.
What You Still Pay
Standard make-ready costs (cleaning, paint, repairs, etc.) and any rent lost during the vacancy.
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 under Alpha's full-service management, not to our Leasing Only Service.
"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
