Ziprent handles leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination and statutory deposit accounting for Dunwoody owners — one flat monthly fee per property.
Dunwoody incorporated on 1 December 2008 after a 15 July 2008 referendum, and unlike some young Georgia cities it did not stay on the county code: it adopted its own Code of Ordinances, including its own Chapter 27 zoning ordinance, so DeKalb County’s rules are not the ones that govern your Dunwoody rental. That matters most for short stays.
The City’s Code Enforcement page defines a short-term rental as a residential property rented for less than 30 days, including through Vrbo, Airbnb and HomeToGo, and states that the ordinance at Code section 27-112, residential use categories, forbids short-term rentals in both single-family and multi-family residences. There is no permit and no fee, because there is no lawful version of the use. Enforcement is complaint-driven through the City’s online reporting portal and the Compliance Hotline. Lease for 30 days or more and you are outside the prohibition entirely, in ordinary long-term residential use.
Georgia exempts small owners from most of its security deposit statute — and then takes the exemption straight back. O.C.G.A. 44-7-36 exempts a natural person whose household collectively owns ten or fewer rental units from the escrow, bond, inspection-list and treble-damages sections, but the exemption “does not apply to units for which management, including rent collection, is performed by third persons… for a fee.” Once anyone manages your Dunwoody house, the full article applies: the deposit is capped at two months’ rent under 44-7-30.1, it must sit in a dedicated escrow account with the location disclosed in writing under 44-7-31, the tenant must get a move-in damage list before tendering it under 44-7-33, you must inspect within three business days of move-out, and you must return the deposit or a written statement of exact reasons within 30 days under 44-7-34. Get it wrong and 44-7-35 is three times the sum improperly withheld plus attorney’s fees.

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!”

Dunwoody 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.
