Property Management for Central Maine Rental Owners
You own the property. We handle the day-to-day management: leasing, tenant communication, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and owner reporting.
Standard Management Company works with local and out-of-state landlords in Waterville, Augusta, Rumford, and surrounding Maine communities. Whether you own one rental home or a multifamily portfolio, start with a clear discussion of the property, the work, and the fees.

Leasing and rent collection
- Rental marketing and showing coordination
- Applicant screening through AppFolio
- Electronic lease preparation and signing
- Rent collection, reminders, and tenant communication
- Lease renewals and turnover coordination
Maintenance and owner reporting
- In-house maintenance and outside-vendor coordination
- 24/7 tenant call response
- Scheduling for routine and seasonal maintenance
- Monthly owner statements and book entries
- Online owner access to property information
Scheduling and coordination are part of management. Repair labor, materials, vendor work, cleaning, and capital projects are separate costs. Emergency call response does not mean that after-hours repair labor is included in your management fee.
Know the fees before you hire us
Management pricing is based on the number of units you place under management across your portfolio. Our published percentage tiers are 10%, 8%, and 6%, with custom arrangements for larger portfolios. We will confirm the applicable tier and scope in your written quote.
| Service | Rate |
|---|---|
| New tenant placement with full management | 50% of the first month's rent |
| Tenant placement without ongoing management | 100% of the first month's rent |
| Lease renewal | $100 |
| In-house maintenance, regular hours (8 a.m.–5 p.m.) | $65 per hour |
| In-house maintenance, after hours | $130 per hour |
Maintenance has a one-hour minimum. Materials, outside-vendor work, cleaning, paid advertising, and larger projects are billed separately. Rates above apply to new clients under the pricing schedule effective May 14, 2026. Existing clients retain their contracted rates. Your management agreement governs your services and charges.
Request a quote for your propertyAlready have tenants or a property manager?
You do not need to wait for a vacancy to discuss professional management. We will review your current situation before setting a start date. If another manager is involved, check your existing agreement's notice and termination terms before making a change.
- Review the property. Share the address, unit count, leases, current rents, occupancy, and open maintenance issues.
- Agree on scope and timing. We discuss your priorities, management fees, repair expectations, and the records needed for a handoff.
- Coordinate the transition. Once the agreement and start date are set, we plan tenant communication, keys, records, and ongoing management.
Local help for out-of-state landlords
Distance should not leave you managing every repair call yourself. Our team coordinates work locally while your owner portal gives you access to statements and property information. Before onboarding, we discuss communication, repair approvals, and what needs your decision.
