Ziprent handles leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination and statutory deposit accounting for Fountain Hills owners — one flat monthly fee per property.
Fountain Hills wrote its vacation-rental program into Town Code Article 8-6, “Short-Term Rentals and Vacation Rentals,” last substantively amended by Ordinance 22-09 on 15 November 2022. Section 8-6-3 is short and strict: “Prior to use of a property as a vacation rental, the owner shall obtain an annual vacation rental permit from the Town,” the application carries a nonrefundable fee set by resolution, and a permit is “valid for a period of one year from the date of their issuance or unless suspended or revoked.” Fail to apply within thirty days and the Town may impose a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per month.
Section 8-6-13 adds the verified-violation ladder — up to $500 or one night’s rent, then $1,000 or two nights’, then $3,500 or three nights’ in any 12 months — while treating multiple violations from a single incident response as one. Separate sections govern the emergency contact (8-6-4), neighbor notification (8-6-6), insurance (8-6-9) and background checks (8-6-10).
Fountain Hills’ older hillside stock generates code complaints — drainage, retaining walls, pool fencing — and A.R.S. 33-1381 governs what happens next. A landlord may not retaliate by increasing rent, decreasing services or bringing or threatening an action for possession after the tenant has complained to a government agency enforcing a building or health code about a violation materially affecting health and safety, complained to the landlord of a violation of the Act, or organized or joined a tenants’ union.
Evidence of a complaint within six months prior to the alleged act of retaliation creates a presumption that the landlord’s conduct was retaliatory. The tenant gets the A.R.S. 33-1367 remedies — up to two months’ rent or twice actual damages — plus a defense to a possession action. Eviction survives where the tenant’s own lack of reasonable care caused the violation, or where rent is owed, but owing rent does not extinguish liability for retaliation.

Tenants and Owners Love Us
With the reviews to back it up as well 😎
“Extremely well-organized, professional, and efficient!!! […] Ziprent was able to do this with ease and in a very straight-forward way. I believe the best part about this company is how it is structured with several teams handling different aspects of the management (i.e. onboarding, repairs, leasing, etc), which made the whole process seamless. That in addition to also being affordable with flat-rate pricing makes this property management company best-in-class.If you’re looking for a property manager, Ziprent comes highly recommended!”

Fountain Hills FAQ
You got questions? We've got answers.
Our current average time is 14-21 days but depending on price and location it can be anywhere between 3-20 days in general.
Tenants will submit their request via their online account. Our platform will automatically send out bid requests from our extensive vendor network. We will surface the bid to you for your approval and then coordinate with the vendor and tenant to get the issue resolved.
To date we have done on-demand without any major issues. We carry an additional $50k in liability insurance to cover any damages, beyond your coverage, that may occur. Should a key go missing, we will have the locks rekeyed at our cost.
Depends on the location of the property. But at the very least, it needs to be free of clutter and trash, it needs to have been professionally cleaned or cleaned to that quality. Flooring and paint go a long way in making a rental feel refreshed.
We can usually schedule to come out to take photos, do a walk-through and take keys within 24-48 hours. We prefer to take photos when the property is completely empty and move-in ready and can generally get a listing online within 24-48 hours of taking photos.
IOur property management contract can be used for both tenant placement and property management. Our property management fee is tied together with rent collection, so if we aren’t collecting rent through our platform then we aren’t charging our property management fee.
