Ekot Group / Switch to Ekot
Salt Lake City · Property management & brokerage
Change managers without changing a resident’s day.
Leases, deposits, records and keys move across on a dated plan. Residents hear from us before anything changes, and nothing about their lease does.
01 The handover, day by day
Thirty days, six steps, one named contact.
Most agreements end on thirty days’ written notice. We start the clock with you and finish before it runs out.
-
Day 0
The conversation
We review your current agreement, notice period and any fees owed, and give you a dated plan in writing.
-
Day 1 to 7
Notice and records
You give notice to your current manager. We request leases, ledgers, deposits, keys, inspection reports and vendor history.
-
Day 7 to 14
Residents first
We introduce ourselves to residents in writing, explain how to pay and request maintenance, and confirm their lease terms are unchanged.
-
Day 14 to 21
Funds and deposits
Security deposits and any prepaid rent transfer to Ekot trust accounts and are reconciled against the ledger.
-
Day 21 to 30
Walk-through and baseline
We inspect each home, photograph its condition, open the owner portal and schedule your first statement.
-
Day 30
Steady state
Rent is collected through AppFolio, your first statement is issued, and your named contact is confirmed.

02 Switching questions
What owners ask before they move.
Can I switch mid-lease?
Yes. A lease is between you and the resident; the manager changes, the lease does not. We honor its terms until renewal.
What if my agreement has an early-termination fee?
We read it with you first. Sometimes waiting for the notice period costs less than paying the fee; we will tell you which.
How are deposits handled?
Deposits transfer to Ekot trust accounts in full and are reconciled to each lease before your first statement.
Do residents need to sign anything?
No. They receive written notice of the new manager and payment instructions. Nothing in their lease changes.
03 Plan the switch
Tell us about your current setup.
