Q: What is the typical procedure of the apartment turnover service?
A: If the tenant has left the unit in a good condition after move-out, the cost of service to professionally clean is the tenant's responsibility, however we do check wood floors, and the condition of paint. We also fully inspect kitchen and baths.

Q: How does Skyline Realty handle tenant qualifications?
A: Skyline Realty will never discriminate on the basis of gender, orientation, familial status, race or religion. We abide strictly by Equal Housing Laws.

Our application process requires an interview and approval of both the manager and the owner of a property.
