Technology has transformed property management—making it faster, smarter, and more transparent for everyone involved.

For landlords, digital systems mean instant financial reporting, real-time maintenance updates, and secure online payments. You can see rent activity, expense reports, and inspection photos anytime, anywhere.

For tenants, technology simplifies communication. Online portals allow rent payments, maintenance requests, and lease renewals from a phone or laptop—no paper, no waiting.

Smart home devices such as thermostats, door locks, and security cameras are also improving safety and efficiency, helping reduce energy costs and maintenance calls.

At Jones Assurance Property Management, we combine personal service with modern tools to deliver accuracy, accountability, and convenience. Technology doesn’t replace human care—it enhances it, giving both landlords and tenants confidence in every interaction.

Understanding South Carolina’s landlord-tenant laws is essential for protecting your investment and avoiding costly disputes. The South Carolina Residential Landlord and Tenant Act outlines responsibilities for both parties—and small mistakes can lead to major legal issues.

Security deposits: Landlords must return deposits within 30 days after a tenant moves out, along with an itemized list of any deductions.
Right of entry: Reasonable notice—typically 24 hours—should be given before entering an occupied unit.
Repairs and maintenance: Owners must provide safe, habitable housing by maintaining plumbing, heating, and electrical systems.
Evictions: Removing a tenant without a court order is illegal. Always follow the proper legal process.

Being proactive and informed protects both you and your tenants. Partnering with a professional management company ensures that leases, inspections, and communications all meet state requirements.

At Jones Assurance Property Management, we handle compliance from start to finish, keeping you confident and covered in every transaction.

Renting your next home doesn’t have to be stressful. Whether you’re new to the area or just ready for a change, understanding the process can make your move smoother.

1. Apply. Submit an application with proof of income, rental history, and identification. Expect a credit and background check—it’s standard for all applicants.
   2. Review the lease. Read every detail carefully: rent due dates, maintenance responsibilities, and pet or parking policies.
   3. Pay your deposit. Security deposits protect the property and are refunded (minus damages) when you move out.
   4. Schedule a move-in inspection. Walk through the property with management and note any pre-existing issues.
   5. Enjoy your new home! Pay rent on time and report maintenance needs promptly.

At Jones Assurance Property Management, we strive to make renting simple, transparent, and fair for everyone. Our online portals make applications, payments, and maintenance requests easy—from anywhere, anytime.

Routine property inspections are one of the smartest ways to protect your investment. They help identify issues early, ensure lease compliance, and maintain property value.

Preventive protection: Small leaks, electrical hazards, or pest problems can escalate quickly. Regular walk-throughs catch issues before they become emergencies.
Lease accountability: Inspections confirm tenants are caring for the home and following agreed-upon terms, like pet or smoking restrictions.
Documentation: Photos and written reports provide a record for insurance or future maintenance planning.

In Easley’s humid climate, quarterly or semi-annual inspections are recommended. These visits reinforce to tenants that you care about their comfort and the property’s upkeep.

Jones Assurance Property Management conducts detailed, documented inspections using digital tools—so you’ll always know the exact condition of your rental.
