Our $1,500 Eviction Guarantee
We Cover the Costs, You Stay Protected

Even with the most rigorous screening, evictions can still happen. When they do, the process can be costly, stressful, and time-consuming. At Sheepdog Property Management, we protect you from the financial burden with our $1,500 Eviction Guarantee—covering up to $1,500 in legal fees, waive all re-leasing fees, AND we write you a check for a month's rent.
How We Minimize Eviction Risk
Not all tenant screening is created equal. Many property managers approve tenants based on a quick credit check, but we go deeper to select stable, long-term renters who are most likely to pay on time, respect your property, and renew their lease.
Our tenant screening process includes:
- Credit Check – Looking beyond just the score to assess financial responsibility.
- Employment & Income Verification – Confirming job stability, pay consistency, and workplace reputation.
- Debt-to-Income Ratio – Ensuring rent affordability beyond just income numbers.
- Eviction History Check – Identifying past evictions, legal disputes, or rental issues.
- Criminal Background Check – Reviewing history while ensuring fair housing compliance.
- Previous Landlord References – Personally calling past landlords to verify rental history, payment consistency, and lease adherence.
Full-Service Eviction Management
If an eviction becomes necessary, we handle the entire process from start to finish while keeping you protected and minimizing downtime.
- Serve all required legal notices on your behalf
- File and manage the full eviction process, including court proceedings
- Recover possession of the property in compliance with Colorado law
- Pursue unpaid rent and other outstanding balances
Fast Re-Renting to Restore Your Cash Flow
Once an eviction is complete, write you a check for one month's rent, waive our re-leasing fee (if tenant was placed by Sheepdog) and move quickly to re-rent the property to a qualified new tenant, minimizing lost income and ensuring a smooth transition. With Sheepdog Property Management, you’re never left to handle evictions alone. Our $1,500 Eviction Guarantee ensures that your investment stays protected, no matter what

Sheepdog Property Management Risk Mitigation Plan: Terms & Eligibility
Sheepdog Property Management Risk Mitigation Plan: Terms & Eligibility
Sheepdog Property Management provides a risk mitigation plan designed to protect landlords from financial losses due to tenant defaults or pet-related damages. Below are the eligibility requirements, coverage details, and terms of the program.
Eligibility & Coverage
The risk mitigation plan is available to landlords who maintain an active account in good standing with Sheepdog Property Management and have no violations of the property management agreement. Termination of the agreement immediately voids any coverage under this plan, and Sheepdog Property Management will not be responsible for any past or future claims.
Only tenants placed by Sheepdog Property Management and under a lease agreement executed by our team are eligible for coverage. The lease must have a start date of [INSERT DATE] or later for inclusion in the program.
Eviction coverage is not available for tenants participating in government-subsidized programs, including Section 8.
Eviction Coverage & Legal Process
If a tenant defaults on rent, Sheepdog Property Management has the sole discretion to determine if and when eviction proceedings will begin. The eviction process, including all legal filings, will be managed by Sheepdog Property Management on the landlord’s behalf.
Legal fees incurred during an eviction will first be charged to the tenant. Sheepdog Property Management will make reasonable efforts to recover the costs from the tenant before applying risk mitigation funds. Any amounts collected from the tenant will be applied first to outstanding balances before any reimbursement is issued.
Sheepdog Property Management will cover up to $1,500 in eviction-related legal fees if costs exceed what is recoverable from the tenant and security deposit.
Security Deposit Handling & Pet Damage Coverage
Any costs associated with damages, including those from approved pets, will first be deducted from the tenant’s security deposit. If the security deposit does not fully cover the damages, Sheepdog Property Management will cover the remaining amount up to the plan’s maximum payout.
This guarantee applies only to pets that have been approved by Sheepdog Property Management. It does not apply to unauthorized animals, including those not disclosed to management. Service animals and emotional support animals, as defined by Fair Housing laws, are not covered under this plan.
Payout Terms & Limitations
Reimbursement will only be issued after the tenant has vacated the property and the security deposit disposition has been completed. Lease administration and pet-related fees charged to the tenant will be retained by Sheepdog Property Management and are not included in the risk mitigation plan.
Sheepdog Property Management retains a first claim position against any tenant for payments recovered due to legal fees or damages.
This plan is structured to provide landlords with additional protection against financial loss while ensuring all necessary legal steps are followed. By combining thorough tenant screening, structured lease enforcement, and financial safeguards, we help landlords protect their investments while minimizing risk.
