Scottsdale, Arizona
Action Properties Management provides professional property management in Scottsdale, AZ. We handle everything from tenant screening and leasing to rent collection, maintenance coordination, and owner reporting, so Scottsdale rental property owners can protect their investment without the day-to-day stress.
Why Scottsdale Owners Trust Us
Scottsdale is one of Arizona's most competitive rental markets. Whether you own a condominium near the Scottsdale Fashion Square corridor, a single-family home in McCormick Ranch, or a luxury property along the DC Ranch greenbelt, your investment demands consistent, professional attention.
Tenants in Scottsdale expect responsive communication, well-maintained properties, and smooth online payment experiences. Delivering all of that while staying compliant with Arizona landlord-tenant law and Scottsdale City Code requires a team that knows this market inside and out.
Action Properties Management has served property owners in Scottsdale for over 25 years. Our all in-house team manages every detail so you don't have to.
Make the Right Choice
Not all property managers are the same. Here is what to look for when evaluating companies to manage your Scottsdale rental property.
Any company collecting rent or managing property in Arizona must hold an active real estate broker license from the Arizona Department of Real Estate. Always verify this before signing.
Scottsdale has distinct sub-markets. A manager familiar with leasing timelines in Kierland Commons versus Grayhawk versus Old Town will price and market your property far more effectively.
Monthly management fees, leasing fees, renewal fees, and maintenance markups all affect your net income. Ask for a complete written breakdown before you commit.
Strong tenant placement starts with thorough screening: credit checks, income verification, employment history, and rental references. A weak screening process leads to costly turnover and evictions.
Companies that outsource maintenance or accounting lose control over quality and turnaround. An in-house team gives you faster response times and consistent standards across every property.
Scottsdale property owners deserve to hear from their manager promptly. Ask how quickly calls and emails are returned and whether a live person answers the phone during business hours.
What We Do
We manage every aspect of your Scottsdale rental property under one roof, with no outsourcing and no surprises.
Professional photography and listings syndicated across MLS, Zillow, Redfin, and paid channels to minimize Scottsdale vacancy days.
Credit, employment, income, and rental history checks on every applicant. Our Triple-Filter Manual Screening protects your Scottsdale investment.
Online rent collection with owner distributions by the 10th business day. We maintain a 99% collection rate across the portfolio.
In-house maintenance techs handle routine and emergency repairs. Fast response times keep tenants happy and protect the property value.
24/7 access to monthly statements, expense reports, work orders, and year-end tax documents from any device.

Before You Decide
These are the factors that most impact your rental income and ownership experience in Scottsdale.
Under Scottsdale City Code Section 18-150, every rental property must be registered with the City of Scottsdale before leasing. The fee is $10 per property and must be updated within 10 days of any ownership change. Failure to register can result in fines of $150 to $500 per offense.
Arizona law caps security deposits at 1.5 times the monthly rent. Deposits must be returned with an itemized statement within 14 days after the tenant vacates. Failing to comply gives tenants the right to recover double the amount withheld.
In Arizona, landlords must provide a 5-Day Notice to Pay or Quit for non-payment of rent, and a 10-Day Notice to Cure or Quit for lease violations. These must follow proper delivery procedures or the eviction case can be dismissed.
Scottsdale enforces a strict party house ban for short-term rentals. All Airbnb and VRBO-style rentals require a city license and must comply with Scottsdale's noise ordinance. Violations can result in immediate fines and license revocation.
Arizona does not have rent control, meaning property owners in Scottsdale can adjust rental rates at lease renewal without restriction. This is a significant advantage in a market where median rents have consistently performed above the national average.
Scottsdale's desert climate creates distinct leasing patterns. The strongest long-term leasing activity runs October through March. Summer months can extend vacancy periods, so pricing strategy and marketing timing directly affect your annual income.

We built our reputation by solving the exact problems Scottsdale rental owners face every day.
Our President is an Arizona-licensed Designated Broker. Every management agreement is backed by proper licensure, protecting you legally from day one.
We have managed properties across the Scottsdale market for over two decades. We know how to price a home near the Salt River Fields corridor differently than one near Pinnacle Peak.
Our leasing agents, maintenance technicians, and accounting staff are all employees, not third-party contractors. You get consistent service from people who know your property.
We manually review every application, not just run an automated check. Credit history, income, employment, and rental references are all verified before we present a tenant to you.
If a tenant we place needs to be evicted, we cover the cost of the eviction process. Our screening record means this guarantee rarely needs to be used.
Your owner portal shows every expense, every repair, every payment. Monthly statements and year-end tax documents are ready when you need them with no surprises.

Scottsdale Expertise
Scottsdale is not a generic rental market. These local realities shape how we manage your property every month.
Scottsdale summers regularly exceed 110 degrees. Air conditioning is a habitability requirement under Arizona law, not an amenity. We conduct proactive HVAC inspections each spring to prevent emergency failures during peak heat.
Many Scottsdale rental homes in communities like Silverleaf, McCormick Ranch, and Scottsdale Ranch feature private pools. Arizona requires pool safety barriers, and liability exposure is significant. Our leases include pool safety addendums and we coordinate licensed pool maintenance vendors.
Scottsdale's summer monsoon season, running July through September, can cause roof damage, drainage issues, and landscape debris. Our pre-monsoon inspections identify vulnerabilities before the storms arrive.
A large share of Scottsdale rentals sit within master-planned HOA communities including Gainey Ranch, Troon Village, McDowell Mountain Ranch, and DC Ranch. We stay current on each association's CC&Rs to keep your property in compliance and prevent fines.
Lease-up activity peaks from October through March as the population surges with seasonal residents and corporate relocations. Listing a property in late September with strong marketing gives you maximum applicant volume and the best chance of securing a qualified long-term tenant.
The City of Scottsdale requires all rental properties to be registered under Scottsdale City Code Section 18-150 before a tenant takes occupancy. We handle this registration as part of our onboarding process at no extra charge.
Action Properties Management manages rental properties across Scottsdale's most sought-after neighborhoods. From condo and townhome communities along the Old Town corridor and the Fashion Square area to luxury single-family homes in DC Ranch, Silverleaf, and Grayhawk, and family-oriented master-planned communities in McCormick Ranch, Scottsdale Ranch, and the Via Linda Corridor, our team knows the rental dynamics of each area. We also manage properties in Kierland, Gainey Ranch, Troon Village, and along the McDowell Sonoran Preserve access zones where proximity to trail systems like Tom's Thumb and Brown's Ranch consistently attracts outdoor-lifestyle tenants.
