Davis Property Management, Handled by People Who Know This College Town

Davis is a UC Davis college town in Yolo County, and its rental market moves to an academic rhythm. Student, graduate and faculty demand builds through summer and peaks in August and September, so timing a listing well can make the difference between a fast lease and a long vacancy. The city is famously bike-friendly, walkable to downtown and served by the Amtrak Capitol Corridor into Sacramento and the Bay Area, all of which shape what renters will pay.

Local knowledge matters in a market this seasonal. Intempus pairs a local Davis expert with in-house technology: an owner portal for real-time statements, online rent collection and a 24/7 maintenance line. Our fees are transparent and itemized, and careful tenant screening keeps our eviction rate under 1% on placed tenants. We know how to market to the campus cycle so your Davis rental leases to qualified residents at the right time of year.
