Frequently Asked Questions
How much does property management cost in Durham, NC?
Apple Realty charges 8%-12% of the rent collected per month.
How long does it take to rent a property in Durham?
It depends on price, condition, and season. Durham demand peaks in late spring and summer alongside the university and RTP hiring calendars. In summer 2026, Durham rentals leased in about 8 days on average. A correctly priced, move-in-ready home is in the best position to lease quickly, while off-season listings can take a little longer.
How do you screen tenants?
Every applicant receives a credit check, nationwide criminal background screening, eviction history search, income and employment verification, and prior landlord references. The same written criteria apply to every applicant, in line with Fair Housing requirements.
Who handles maintenance calls after hours?
Tenants can submit requests through the online portal at any hour, and emergency calls are routed to our on-call coordinator. Repairs under your pre-approved limit proceed immediately; anything larger comes to you for approval first.
How much can a landlord charge for a security deposit in North Carolina?
North Carolina limits security deposits by lease length: up to two weeks' rent for a week-to-week tenancy, one and a half months' rent for month-to-month, and two months' rent for leases longer than month-to-month. Deposits must be held in a trust account at a licensed, federally insured bank or trust institution authorized to do business in North Carolina, or secured by a bond. Tenants must be told where their deposit is held within 30 days of the lease start. After move-out, the deposit and an itemized list of any deductions are due within 30 days. We handle deposit holding, accounting, and every statutory deadline on each lease we manage.
What types of property do you manage?
Single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and small multifamily buildings throughout Durham and the surrounding Triangle.
