Decluttering is one thing. Knowing when to call in an organizer or a haul-away service? That's the real pro move. If you're staring down a garage full of duplicate tools or a basement of boxes you haven't opened in years, you don't have to do it alone. I've got a trusted network of pros I can connect you with, just ask!

Your client’s home didn’t sell. Now they want to rent it.

That doesn’t mean you suddenly need to become their property manager.

A rental can involve advertising, applicant screening, Fair Housing, source-of-income requirements, lease disclosures, municipal rules, move-in documentation, maintenance calls and eventually a move-out.

There’s another option.

Refer the rental and property-management work to Munrovey Real Estate, stay connected with your client, and when they’re ready to talk about selling again, you’re still their real estate professional.

You keep the relationship. We handle the rental.

Know an agent with a client who’s considering becoming a landlord? I’d be happy to be a resource.

That stuff sitting in your closet could actually help someone else. Donating clears your space, supports your community, and keeps things out of landfills. Everybody wins. If you're ready to declutter but want a hand getting there, reach out! I can connect you with the right people.

Decluttering doesn't have to be overwhelming. Start small, pick one room or closet, and go from there. Get honest about what you actually need, ask a friend for feedback, and don't be afraid to call in the pros if you need help. A little progress each week adds up fast. Need a referral to a trusted organizer? DM me, happy to connect you!

The most expensive rental mistake may not be a broken furnace.

It may be an inconsistent screening decision.

One applicant is asked for additional documentation. Another isn’t. One source of income is accepted. Another isn’t. Someone mentions an old criminal conviction and suddenly the criteria change.

That is where Fair Housing and compliance problems can begin.

At Munrovey Real Estate, the goal is simple: establish lawful written rental criteria before applications arrive and apply those standards consistently.

Good property management isn’t just collecting rent.

It’s protecting the property—and creating a defensible process around it.

Illinois landlords: there is a new lease requirement for 2026.

For new and renewed written residential leases, Illinois now requires the Summary of Rights for Safer Homes to appear as the first page of the lease.

It’s one more reminder that rental compliance doesn’t stand still.

If you’re an investor, landlord or real estate agent handling rentals only occasionally, the rules can become surprisingly complicated—especially when Illinois, Cook County and individual municipalities all have requirements.

That’s one of the reasons Munrovey Real Estate is building our rental practice around documented processes and compliance—not just finding tenants.

Know an owner who needs help with a rental? I’d be happy to be a resource.

The legal statement in this post is supported by current IDHR guidance.

Your client wants to rent the house instead of selling it. Now what?

Finding a tenant is only one piece of the job.

Fair Housing. Source-of-income rules. Screening criteria. Cook County criminal-history requirements. Municipal licensing. Disclosures. Lease requirements. Move-in documentation. Maintenance after the tenant moves in.

And Illinois added another lease requirement in 2026.

For agents who want to preserve the client relationship—and the eventual sale—without taking on the day-to-day rental compliance and management responsibilities, a referral can make a lot of sense.

Munrovey Real Estate can handle the rental side while you stay connected to your client.

Keep the relationship. Keep the future sale. Let us handle the rental.
