For Property Owners
GPM offers three service tiers. Essential Leasing is a one-time fee of 75–100% of one month's rent for tenant placement only. Full-Service Management is 10–12% of monthly rent plus a 50–75% leasing fee — our most popular option covering all ongoing management. Executive and Midterm Management is 12–15% monthly plus a $400–$600 placement fee and $1,500–$2,500 setup fee for furnished properties. All fees are fully disclosed before any agreement is signed.

Full-service management covers the complete lifecycle of your rental: tenant marketing and advertising, application processing, thorough tenant screening (credit, income, background, rental history), lease preparation and signing, ongoing rent collection, monthly owner financial statements, maintenance coordination with trusted vendors, routine and move-in/move-out property inspections, turnover and make-ready management, and ongoing resident communication and support. See full service breakdown →
Every applicant goes through a comprehensive screening process via the RentRedi platform. We verify credit score (minimum 550 required), confirm monthly gross income of at least 2.5 to 3 times the rent, conduct a full background check, verify a valid government-issued photo ID, and review rental history for positive references and no prior evictions. A non-refundable $50 per-person application fee covers the cost of credit and background screening.
Yes. All suite tenants must hold a valid, current cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, or relevant professional licence for the services they intend to provide. This is a legal requirement for operating beauty services in Mississippi and a condition of all GPM suite lease agreements. Proof of current licensure is required as part of the application process.
The exact suite address is shared with prospective tenants after an initial inquiry — this protects the privacy of current suite tenants. Submit an inquiry through our salon suites page and GPM will respond within 24 hours to confirm availability, share the address, and schedule an in-person walkthrough at a time that works for you.

Pet accommodation is considered on a case-by-case basis for each property. Please include your pet details — animal type, breed, and size — in your RentRedi application. Additional pet deposits or monthly fees may apply and will be clearly outlined in your lease agreement before signing. Not all GPM properties accept pets, so confirming this during the application process is important.
