The Cost of a Bad Tenant or an Empty Property
Every Day Your Property Sits Empty Costs You Money
A vacant property renting at $2,200/month costs you $73 per day in lost income. A 30-day vacancy means $2,200 gone. A 60-day vacancy means $4,400. And that doesn't account for the cost of a bad tenant. Late payments, property damage, and eviction can cost Sacramento landlords $5,000 to $15,000. Alpha's tenant placement service solves both problems. Fill your property fast, and fill it with the right person.

Alpha's 5-Point Tenant Screening Process
We Don't Just Fill Vacancies. We Find Tenants Who Stay
Every applicant goes through our 5-point screening. No exceptions.
Screening is overseen by Sally LaBate, in compliance with California fair housing law and AB 1482.
Credit Check
Full credit report review. We look at credit score, payment history, outstanding debts, and collections. Minimum score requirements vary by property.
Criminal Background Check
National and county-level criminal background screening for all adult applicants, compliant with California fair housing guidelines.
Rental History Verification
We contact previous landlords directly to verify payment history, lease compliance, property condition at move-out, and whether they'd rent to the applicant again.
Employment & Income Verification
Pay stubs, tax returns, or employer verification. We require income of at least 3x the monthly rent to make sure the tenant can comfortably afford the property.
Eviction History Search
Eviction records checked across nationwide courts for prior filings.
Result: 99% of Alpha-placed tenants complete their full lease term. That means fewer turnovers, less vacancy, and more consistent income for you.
How It Works
From Listing To Lease. Placement typically takes about 10 days once the property is rent-ready and all requirements are met.
Property Assessment & Pricing
We evaluate your property, recommend any make-ready improvements, and set a competitive rental price based on current Sacramento market data.
Professional Marketing Launch
Professional photos, compelling listing description, and syndication across Zillow, Trulia, Apartments.com, Realtor.com, Facebook Marketplace, and 20+ rental sites within 48 hours.
Showings & Applications
We handle all inquiries, schedule and conduct showings (including evenings and weekends), and process applications as they come in.
Screening, Lease & Move-In
5-point screening on every applicant. Once approved, we prepare a California-compliant lease, collect first month's rent and security deposit, and coordinate move-in.

Our average placement time is 10 days from the date your property is rent-ready. This includes professional photography, listing syndication, showings, screening, and lease execution. Ten days is typical for a rent-ready property once our requirements are met.
Every applicant goes through our 5-point screening. Credit check, criminal background check, rental history verification with previous landlords, employment and income verification (minimum 3x rent), and eviction history search.
Leasing-only service ends once Alpha places your tenant, so enforcing the lease is up to you from there. If you want Alpha to handle situations like an early lease break, along with the 1-year replacement guarantee, that protection is part of full-service management. On leasing-only, Alpha can re-market the home and place a new tenant for the standard lease-up fee.
No. We offer tenant placement as a standalone service for owners who prefer to self-manage. However, most owners find that our $99/month full-service management saves them significant time and money.
We place tenants for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, condos, and townhomes throughout the Sacramento area, including Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Citrus Heights, Folsom, Roseville, Antelope, and North Highlands.
Alpha charges a competitive one-time lease-up fee of half the first month's rent, well below what most Sacramento managers charge. Contact us for a specific quote based on your property.
The 1-year replacement guarantee applies to properties under Alpha's full-service management, not leasing-only placement. If a tenant Alpha placed leaves and you are on leasing-only, Alpha can place a new tenant for the standard lease-up fee.
Yes. We follow California fair housing law on assistance animal accommodations and verify documentation properly.
