Advertising & Tenant Screening

At Bitterroot Property Management, we handle every aspect of advertising and tenant screening to ensure your property is in good hands. Our team creates professional photography, detailed marketing descriptions, and engaging videos to showcase your property on our website and top nationwide rental listing sites. We carefully screen inquiries and facilitate convenient self-guided tours through our lockbox system. Our rigorous application process, paired with strict rental criteria, ensures we select the most qualified tenants for your property.

Leasing

Our leasing service is built on a robust lease agreement crafted with the expertise of a top landlord-tenant attorney, ensuring comprehensive protection for both landlords and tenants. The lease clearly outlines tenant responsibilities and expectations, setting the foundation for a smooth rental experience. We require all tenants to carry renter’s insurance, and our leases include essential disclosures, such as those for lead paint and mold, to safeguard the interests of all parties involved.

Maintenance

Our maintenance service is designed to provide prompt and professional care for your rental property. With a dedicated and experienced team, we handle the majority of maintenance issues efficiently, ensuring your property remains in top condition. Tenants can easily submit maintenance requests online, and our 24-hour emergency maintenance line ensures that urgent issues are addressed without disturbing landlords. When necessary, we collaborate with a trusted network of outside vendors to maintain and enhance your property, giving you peace of mind.

Inspections

Our property inspection service is comprehensive and diligent, ensuring full compliance with Montana law. We conduct thorough inspections before and after tenants move out, allowing us to confidently and accurately charge for any cleaning or damages they caused. Additionally, we perform at least two interim inspections per year to stay on top of necessary repairs and identify opportunities to improve your property—and its rental value—over time.

Real In-Person Staff

At Bitterroot Property Management, customer service is personal and local. When you call us, you connect directly with a real person in our Missoula, Montana office—no outsourced call centers here. Property Manager and President Daniel Dada is readily accessible by direct line and email, ensuring that both owners and tenants receive prompt and attentive responses to all inquiries and requests. We’re committed to providing a responsive, personalized service experience for everyone we serve.

Evictions

While we do everything possible to avoid evictions through our comprehensive screening and application process, we are fully prepared to handle them if necessary. In the unfortunate event that an eviction is required, we work with a renowned attorney specializing in evictions and leverage our extensive experience to swiftly regain possession of your rental unit. Our goal is to remove problem tenants quickly and efficiently, so we can refocus on securing good tenants who pay rent on time and take care of your property.
