Ziprent handles leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination and statutory deposit accounting for Humble owners — one flat monthly fee per property.
Humble sits where the San Jacinto meets Lake Houston, and the city’s own building code is written around that. Article 4.03 of the Humble Code of Ordinances, “Setback Lines and Floor Elevations,” sets floor elevation requirements at section 4.03.003 and additional requirements for specific areas of the city at section 4.03.004. For property within the 500-year floodplain designated for residential use, the code requires that the top of the subfloor of the lowest habitable floor be elevated to two feet above the 500-year flood elevation.
Water heaters, furnaces, air conditioning systems, electrical distribution panels and any other mechanical or electrical equipment must be elevated to at least two feet above the same line. For an owner planning a substantial repair or a rebuild after a flood loss, that requirement — not the insurance settlement — usually sets the scope and the schedule.
Texas Property Code 92.153 lists the security devices a Humble dwelling must have, all at the landlord’s expense: a window latch on each exterior window; a doorknob lock or keyed deadbolt on each exterior door; a pin lock and either a handle latch or a security bar on each exterior sliding glass door; and a keyless bolting device and a door viewer on each exterior door. They must stay operable through the tenancy.
Section 92.156 adds that a key, card or combination device must be rekeyed by the landlord, at the landlord’s expense, not later than the seventh day after each tenant turnover date. Skip it and section 92.164 lets the tenant install or rekey and deduct the cost from rent, terminate after written notice, or sue for a compliance order, actual damages, punitive damages and a civil penalty of one month’s rent plus $500 with attorney’s fees.
| Area | Typical rental stock | What owners ask about there |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown / Main Street Humble | Older small homes and converted units inside the city limits | Whether the property sits inside city limits and which code applies |
| Deerbrook corridor (US 59) | Condos, townhomes and apartments near Deerbrook Mall | Commute-driven demand and how fast a unit leases at the current median |
| Atascocita / Atascocita Forest | 1980s–2000s detached family homes, Humble mailing address | That these are unincorporated Harris County, not the City of Humble |
| Eagle Springs | 2000s-onward detached homes, master-planned | HOA leasing rules, minimum lease terms and amenity access for tenants |
| Fall Creek | Newer detached homes, gated sections | Rekey timing under 92.156 when a gate fob and a house key both change |
| Walden on Lake Houston | Waterfront and golf-adjacent homes, some townhomes | Floodplain elevation, flood insurance and what a rebuild would have to meet |

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!”

Humble 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.
