Services
Property Management
We manage rental properties with marketing, tenant screening, and maintenance services. Our Elite Landlord Protection Plan covers legal fees during evictions while ensuring rent payments continue. Property owners receive direct deposits with 24/7 online payment options available for tenants.
Rent-to-Own Program
Our rent-to-own option provides flexible home buying opportunities. Tenants pay a deposit and monthly premium that contributes toward future property purchase. This program requires no upfront cash for qualified applicants while offering landlords guaranteed rent payments and potential buyers immediate occupancy.
Maintenance Services
We handle all property repairs with in-house staff and licensed contractors. Emergency maintenance responds within 24 hours while renovations complete in under 72 hours. Services include plumbing, electrical work, flooring installation, and code compliance upgrades to meet city inspection requirements.
Eviction Assistance
Our eviction services cover non-payment cases, lease violations, and squatter removal. We manage the entire legal process while maintaining property cleanliness during tenant transitions. Over 20 years of experience ensures efficient resolution of complex landlord-tenant disputes and documentation preparation for court proceedings.
Tenant Screening
We verify tenant identities, credit histories, and criminal records before lease approval. Our system checks rental payment history through national databases while confirming employment status. This process minimizes risks for property owners while ensuring qualified renters gain housing access without unnecessary delays.

Very unorganized and unprofessional. What should have been a 3 day application process has turned into over a week long process with the run around. The agent never calls you with updates, you have to call for any information. Apparently, the owner of the property had been on "vacation" for a week and couldn't be reached....my personal opinion? It's just a way of them trying to stall and find more applicants. They do NOT follow protocol on their own website...they say they don't base approval on credit alone but we were "sort of denied as of right now" even

One star isn't a low enough rating for this business. If you are a homeowner looking to rent your property, DO NOT use Help U Rent in Wyandotte! This organization is run by the most unprofessional group of individuals I've ever encountered in business. They do not provide any of the services advertised on their website or uphold the language of their contracts. Inspections, including move in and move out, are not conducted. Don't let them manage your property unless you have money to throw out the window and want a hassle when your contract is complete. Conversations turn threatening

Amazing service. Found me a qualified family to rent my home in two days. I got a 3 year lease. I did some calling around for prices before going with Help U Rent, seems all the companies pretty much charge the same prices. Completely hands free, no hassles. No work on my part. Staff was especially friendly. Super nice office. Thank You!
