About EZ Properties

EZ Properties has provided high-quality housing to Xavier University students for 20 years. We renovate and maintain our buildings to make them safe, attractive, energy-efficient and comfortable; in return, we expect tenants to take care of the houses and protect the investment we've made in them.

Erik Zimmerman bought his first rental property while he was a senior at Xavier. He is active, involved, and hands-on in the management of properties and has a lengthy list of contractors who can fix an air conditioner, a plumbing leak or a dishwasher on short notice. He lives close to campus and is always available by email or cell phone.

At EZ Properties, we value tenants who communicate clearly about their living space. Because we are not in the houses on a regular basis, we depend on tenants to observe and report any possible problems. We'd rather know about an issue and decide for ourselves what to do about it than learn about an ongoing problem when it's too late for an easy fix. And while we expect college students to have fun, we are not fans of parties with hundreds of people at our properties or red and blue cups strewn across the front yard. Students looking for such a house are advised to look elsewhere.

The renovations on EZ Properties houses are often far more extensive than people expect to find in student housing. We look for long-term value and use materials such as ceramic tile, hardwood floors and low-VOC paint. We strive to make the houses energy-efficient, so most have newer, high-efficiency furnaces, and many have new windows. The houses are generally indistinguishable from neighboring owner-occupied housing. We do this not to make a quick buck--in fact it takes a long time to recover the cost of these investments--but because we think well cared-for housing is valuable to students, the university, the surrounding community and ultimately to our company.
