For Tenants

Renting should be simple. You find a place you like, you apply, you get answered quickly, you move in, things work, and when something doesn't work you get a responsive landlord who fixes it. That's the bar at Lockwood Property Management.

We manage single-family homes, duplexes, townhomes, condos, and small-to-mid apartment communities across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Every property is professionally managed — which means fair screening, clear lease terms, rent handled online, maintenance requests handled promptly, and a real phone number with a real person on the other end.

Current Tenants

Pay Rent Online

Rent is paid through the tenant portal. ACH from your bank account or card payment — your choice. Payments post quickly, and you get a receipt in your email every month. No checks getting lost in the mail, no drop boxes, no in-person trips to an office.

Call (817) 332-7368

Submit a Maintenance Request

Maintenance requests go through the portal. Describe the issue, upload photos if relevant, and submit. You'll get an acknowledgment and a service window. Emergency issues — active water leaks, gas smell, HVAC failure in extreme weather, anything that threatens safety — call (817) 332-7368 directly.

Renewals & Move-Out

Lease renewal conversations start 60–90 days before your lease ends. We'll reach out with renewal terms, answer questions, and make the renewal paperwork simple. If you're moving out, the portal walks you through the move-out process — notice timing, final rent, cleaning expectations, forwarding address for your security deposit.

Prospective Tenants — What to Expect

The Application

Every adult who will live in the home (18+) submits an application. There's an application fee that covers the screening costs (the amount is disclosed up front in the listing). We run a credit check, a criminal background check, an eviction history search, rental history verification, and employment/income verification.

Screening Criteria

We apply the same written criteria to every applicant. Generally we look for:

• Verifiable household income of approximately three times the monthly rent
• Positive rental history with no prior evictions
• A credit profile that reflects on-time payment habits
• Clean criminal history (subject to fair-housing and local-law constraints)

Specific standards for each property are posted with the listing. If you don't meet every criterion, tell us up front — sometimes a larger deposit, a qualified co-signer, or documented circumstances work around a specific gap.

Fair Housing

Lockwood Property Management complies with the federal Fair Housing Act and Texas fair-housing law. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, disability, or any other protected class. If you believe you've been treated unfairly, tell us and we will investigate immediately.

Move-In

Once approved, you'll sign the lease electronically, pay the security deposit and first month's rent, schedule move-in, and walk through the property with a documented move-in condition report. Take photos of everything on move-in day and keep them. That protects you and protects us.
