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.
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 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 tenant breaks the lease anytime in the first 12 months on a property under Alpha's full-service management, 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, 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 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."
