Short, straight-to-the-point videos on how DFW Property Management works — for owners and tenants across Dallas-Fort Worth.
Pets, ESAs & Service Animals — The Complete Policy
Renting with a furry family member in Dallas–Fort Worth? Our complete animal policy in one guide: up to two pets per home (12+ months old, spayed/neutered, vaccinated), the published restricted-breed list, what's not allowed, the fish-tank exception, and exactly what pets cost — no pet deposit, a one-time $400 fee and $30/month pet rent per pet. Plus the part most companies get wrong: service animals under the ADA and emotional support animals under the Fair Housing Act are not pets — no pet fees, no breed restrictions, ever. Every animal registers through our PetScreening portal, and the always-current policy lives on our site. Equal Housing Opportunity.
Our Rental Criteria — The Deep Dive
Know exactly how you'll be judged before you spend a dollar. The complete deep dive on our published rental criteria: how the five rent-based tiers work (your tier is set by the home's monthly rent — not your income), how credit, income, and rental history each map to your security deposit (the highest single multiplier — never stacked), the assets-based path for strong savers, the hard stops, how groups and qualified cosigners work, and how to strengthen a weak application starting with our free eligibility calculator. A thin credit file is not a rejection. Every number is published on our site. Equal Housing Opportunity.
How to Rent a Home in DFW — The Complete Guide
The complete guide to renting a home in Dallas–Fort Worth with DFW Property Management — from finding the right home to getting your keys. Browse every home on our website, check the published rental criteria and free eligibility calculator before paying anything, tour on your own schedule with self-guided tours seven days a week, apply online with every adult 18+ (pets registered up front, including ESAs and service animals), then deposit, e-sign, renter's insurance, utilities, and keys. Everything after that lives in your 24/7 tenant portal. Equal Housing Opportunity.
How We Lease Your Home Faster
A vacant home costs you money every day — here's how DFW Property Management gets yours leased faster. We make it market-ready and price it right from day one with a comparative market analysis. Professional photos, then syndication everywhere renters look: Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, Zumper, Apartments.com, Realtor.com, the MLS, and our own site. Electronic lockboxes let prospects self-tour seven days a week, every inquiry gets a fast answer day or night, and online applications with five-point in-house screening move qualified tenants to an electronic lease. Fewer vacant days, better tenants. Equal Housing Opportunity.
How Renting With Us Works — Start to Finish
Renting a home with DFW Property Management, start to finish: book a self-guided tour (verify by text, get your PIN, walk through on your schedule); apply online and register any pets or animals — we screen credit, income, background, and rental history, with decisions back within days; once approved, pay your deposit by cashier's check, sign your lease online, then set up renter's insurance and turn on your utilities; and on move-in day, get your keys and walk the home with our move-in checklist. From there, everything lives in your 24/7 tenant portal. Equal Housing Opportunity.

What Your Property Manager Should Be Doing for You
Own a rental? Hold your property manager to this standard: fast leasing with professional marketing, the MLS, and self-guided tours 7 days a week; 5-point screening of every applicant with placement guaranteed; an in-house maintenance team backed by vetted vendors and 24/7 emergency response; on-time rent collection with full transparency — owner portal, monthly statements, year-end 1099s; and the hard parts — delinquency and evictions — handled, with real people who answer.
Our Rental Criteria, Explained
Applying for a rental home in Dallas–Fort Worth? Here's exactly how we qualify applicants — no surprises. Our criteria are published in five rent-based tiers, so requirements scale with the rent. Full approval starts around three times the rent in income (a little less can still qualify with a larger deposit). Your security deposit comes from your credit or your rental history — whichever is higher, never both. Everyone 18+ applies ($65 each), groups qualify on the lowest credit score, and our free eligibility calculator shows where you stand before you pay anything. Equal Housing Opportunity.

Tour rental homes across Dallas–Fort Worth on your own schedule — no agent needed. Browse our listings and tap Schedule Tour on any home, verify your identity by text (a quick, one-time security step), pick a time — tours run 7 days a week — then a unique one-time PIN arrives by text. Enter it on the electronic lockbox, let yourself in, and take your time. Loved it? Apply online in minutes. Touring is always free. Equal Housing Opportunity.

DFW Property Management vs. a Typical Property Manager
Every property manager charges a fee — not every one earns it.

Our Property Management Packages Explained
Every rental is different — so we built three ways to manage yours. Every DFW Property Management plan is full-service: marketing and leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, in-house maintenance, 24/7 emergencies, and monthly statements. Silver is essential full-service management; Gold adds a 6-month placement guarantee and an annual walkthrough; and Platinum — our most popular — adds a 12-month guarantee, semi-annual and annual walkthroughs, home-warranty claim handling, and eviction court fees covered.
Self-Managing Your Rental vs. Hiring a Property Manager
Thinking about managing your rental yourself to save money? Let's do the real math. Between vacancy, repairs, a bad tenant, and an eviction you have to file yourself, self-managing often costs more than it saves — before you count your own time and the legal risk. A good property manager doesn't cost you money; it makes you money. See how DFW Property Management leases fast, screens every applicant, handles maintenance in-house, collects rent on time, and handles evictions for you.
