The Real Cost of Tenant Damage
A Standard Security Deposit Does Not Cover The Worst Cases.
California limits security deposits to one month of rent. On a $2,200 Sacramento rental, your deposit is $2,200. The average eviction cleanup runs $3,500 to $7,500. A bad turnover with carpet replacement, drywall repair, appliance damage, and lockset changes lands well above $5,000. The deposit gets eaten quickly, and the rest comes out of your pocket.
Carpet and flooring replacement
$1,800 to $4,500
Drywall, paint, and trim repair after destruction
$1,200 to $3,500
Appliance damage, lockset changes, and trash haul-out
$800 to $2,200
Alpha's $100,000 damage protection picks up where the security deposit stops.
How It Works
Protection That Activates The Day Your Tenant Moves In.
Protection Starts Day One
Activated automatically the moment an Alpha-placed tenant signs the lease. No waiting period. No extra forms for you to sign.
Every Alpha Placement Included
Goes on every single tenant we place. Single-family, duplex, fourplex, condo. If we placed the tenant, the protection is in force.
Alpha Handles the Documentation
We document the move-in condition, manage the move-out walkthrough, and file the required paperwork if damage exceeds the deposit. You approve, we handle the paperwork.
Stacks On Top of the Deposit
The security deposit covers the first dollars. The $100,000 damage protection kicks in after the deposit is exhausted. You stay protected on the largest exposures.
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.
$100K Damage Protection
$100,000 in damage protection above the security deposit, free with every placement.

From The Founder
Why A Boutique Manager Does What The Bigger Guys Will Not.
Most property managers will sell you on tenant screening, then disappear when something breaks. The screening is the easy part. Standing behind the placement is what separates a real manager from a leasing service.
Sally Friar-LaBate built Alpha in 1998 around a simple idea. If we are going to put a tenant in your property, we should be on the hook with you when things go wrong. The 1-year guarantee, the $100K damage protection, and the 10-day placement promise all come from the same place. They are how a boutique company stays accountable to the owner.
The big firms package it differently. They have departments and ticket numbers. What they do not have is a real person who will pick up when a $5,000 problem shows up at your property.
