Owning a rental should pay you, not run you
Most owners we meet did not sign up for a second job. Then the first maintenance call comes in at 9pm, the rent is four days late, and suddenly it is one.
Red Roof Rentals is a Tacoma property management company, and we work the way a local company should. Our office is on Pacific Avenue in Tacoma. Our team is here in Pierce County. We have zero remote workers, so when you call, you reach someone who already knows your street.
We manage single-family homes, condos, small apartment buildings and commercial property across Tacoma, Lakewood, Puyallup, Spanaway, University Place and the rest of Pierce County. We take the parts that eat your evenings: marketing and showings, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance, inspections, and a monthly statement your accountant will actually thank you for.
You get four written guarantees, pricing that starts at 8 percent, and a straight answer when you call 253.222.3387.
We also handle the part most owners do not see coming. Tacoma runs two rental codes at the same time, and both changed on January 1, 2026. A rent increase inside city limits now takes 180 days of written notice on a City form, and penalties start at $500 per violation. One of the largest management firms in this market writes Tacoma city limits out of its eviction guarantee. We do not. Tacoma is our home market and our street address.
Four guarantees, and what each one actually pays
01
Results Guarantee
When we are leasing your property, all of the work happens up front. You do not pay us until a qualified tenant is placed.
02
Leasing Guarantee
If a tenant does not fulfill at least nine months of the lease term, we find you a new tenant for free.
03
30-Day Rental Guarantee
If we cannot lease your home in 30 days or less, you get one month of management free.
04
Pet Guarantee
For any pet we approve, you get up to $1,000 in damage protection above and beyond what the security deposit covers.

Any manager can tell you your home is worth more than you think. We would rather show you the public numbers we start from, with the source and the date attached to every one. Different sources measure different things, so we never blend them into a single figure.
Two honest notes on that table. First, the Tacoma median is down 1.6 percent from a year ago. Pricing a unit off last year’s number is a common way to end up with an empty home. Second, there is no reliable published vacancy rate for Tacoma or for Pierce County. The only figure we can cite is the West region rental vacancy rate of 5.3 percent, from the US Census Housing Vacancy Survey for the second quarter of 2026, and that is a regional number, not a Tacoma number. We will always tell you that instead of printing something that is not real.

A local team, with zero remote workers
When you call 253.222.3387 during business hours, you reach a person who works in our Tacoma office. We have no remote workers. Nobody is managing your Tacoma property from another time zone.
Adiam Mehretab is our Managing Broker, with a 25 plus year career, a finance degree from the University of Oregon, and licenses in both Washington and Oregon. Celina Hatch is our Office Manager and Finance Director she studied Elementary Education and Business at St. Martin’s University. Cassidy Speno handles client support and came to us from title and escrow.
Between them, the team brings more than 40 years of combined investment property management and real estate sales experience, and we are a NARPM Member. We also run a real estate brokerage, so if the right answer for your property is to sell rather than rent, we can tell you that and handle it. See what our owners say.
How it works, in three steps
Start with a free rental analysis
Send us the address. We look at the property, compare it to what is actually renting nearby, and give you a rent range plus a short list of what we would do first. No fee and no obligation.
We market, screen and lease
Professional photos, wide listing syndication, showings, and a screening process applied against published written criteria and Tacoma’s income-to-rent limits. Under the Results Guarantee, you pay nothing until a qualified tenant is placed.
You get paid, every month
Tenants pay online through their resident portal. Once rent clears and any approved invoices are paid, your funds go out by ACH direct deposit and your monthly owner statement posts to your AppFolio owner portal. Maintenance requests, inspections, renewals and notices are handled from there, and you can see all of it without calling us. See all of our property management services.

I have never worked with a more pleasant property management company. Cassidy and Celina are incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, informative, and very friendly. They made the rental process go so smoothly and relieved a lot of the stress of a very stressful process. I can’t say enough great things about this team.
Thank you guys!
Everyone was super nice and friendly, I've never worked with a management company that's so hassle free. They got our move-in set up quickly and they made the process smooth and enjoyable.
My family and I recently moved into one of their apartment complex and Cassidy from the office was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole process. Her team was incredibly accommodating with our move in situation and got us in exactly when we wanted to be. I am so happy with the whole experience.
Red Roof has always been pleasant to work with! Highly recommend!

Areas We Serve
Questions Tacoma owners ask us
-
Our management fee is 8 to 10 percent, with a leasing fee of 50 percent of one month’s rent and $250 lease renewals. Tenant screening, rent collection, the owner portal, monthly statements, ACH payments, maintenance support and eviction assistance are all included at no extra fee.

-
Yes. Tacoma city limits is our home market and our office address. Tacoma applies two rental codes at once, TMC 1.95 and TMC 1.100, and they carry rules on notice periods, late fees, move-in costs and evictions that do not apply elsewhere in Pierce County. We handle those rules for you, and we do not exclude Tacoma from our service.
-
Median rent in Tacoma is $1,677 across all unit types, $1,433 for a one bedroom and $1,790 for a two bedroom, per the Apartment List Tacoma Rent Report for September 2026. That median is down 1.6 percent year over year. Your own number depends on the home, the condition and the street, so start with a free rental analysis.
-
We put it in writing. Under our 30-Day Rental Guarantee, if we cannot lease your home in 30 days or less, you get one month of management free. Actual time to lease depends on price, condition and season, which is why we begin with current market data rather than a guess.
-
Yes, and Washington law requires it. RCW 59.18.255 makes source of income a protected class statewide, so a voucher cannot be a reason to refuse an applicant. The law also requires the voucher portion to be subtracted from the rent before any income-to-rent ratio is applied. Voucher holders are screened on the same published criteria as everyone else.
-
Single family homes, condos, apartment buildings, multi-family and commercial property. We also run a real estate brokerage, so we can help you buy or sell an investment property. Our service area covers Tacoma, Lakewood, Parkland, Spanaway, Puyallup, University Place, Fircrest, Graham, Roy, Yelm and the rest of Pierce County.
