Overcoming Challenges Landlords Face in Santa Rosa and Escambia Counties

Owning rental property can be incredibly rewarding—but let’s be honest, it isn’t always easy.


From late-night maintenance calls to tenant turnover and changing laws, many landlords in Santa Rosa and Escambia counties run into the same pain points that drain time, energy, and profit.


The good news? With the right systems and support, you can overcome these challenges—and even turn them into opportunities.

Here’s how.


Challenge #1: Finding Quality Tenants—Consistently


The Problem:
You get applications, but not all are qualified—or worse, a bad tenant slips through and causes months of issues.


The Fix:
Professional tenant screening makes all the difference.
At Clover, every applicant goes through:
• Credit and background checks
• Rental history review
• Employment and income verification
• Pet screening when applicable


Better screening = fewer evictions, longer leases, and better property care.


Challenge #2: Keeping Up with Maintenance

The Problem:
Maintenance issues pile up, vendors are slow to respond, or you're constantly fielding tenant complaints.


The Fix:
We manage it all—start to finish.
• Emergency and routine maintenance handled 24/7
• Twice-a-year inspections to catch problems early
• Trusted local vendors at negotiated rates
• Detailed maintenance logs available in your owner portal


Result? Fewer surprises. Happier tenants. Protected properties.


Challenge #3: Dealing with Vacancy and Turnover

The Problem:
Every week your property sits empty, you’re losing money—and rushing to fill it can lead to more problems.


The Fix:
Clover leases properties faster and smarter by:
• Using professional marketing photos
• Writing compelling, optimized listings
• Posting to 50+ rental platforms
• Coordinating quick showings and tenant onboarding

We also focus on tenant retention—because keeping a good tenant is always cheaper than finding a new one.


Challenge #4: Navigating Legal and Compliance Risks

The Problem:
Florida’s landlord-tenant laws are strict—and getting it wrong can cost you big in court.


The Fix:
We protect you with:
• Legally compliant leases
• Proper handling of deposits and notices
• Eviction coordination (when needed)
• Ongoing legal updates and education for our owners


If it’s a legal risk—we’ve already got it covered.


Challenge #5: Trying to Do It All Yourself

The Problem:
You bought a rental for passive income—but it’s turned into a second job.


The Fix:
We manage the day-to-day, so you can focus on your life.
• Hands-off rent collection
• Owner portal with real-time updates
• Transparent reporting and communication
• Dedicated team who knows your property inside and out


With Clover, you get the freedom and returns you were promised when you bought the property in the first place.
