Lease My House to a Recovery Home: How the Partnership Works

Recovery Housing Pros LLC master-leases quality homes in metro Atlanta and operates them as structured recovery residences in partnership with Smart Step Inc., a 501(c)(3). Your tenant is one professional operator — not a rotating cast of individual renters. Here's how the partnership works and how to enroll a property.

How to lease my house to a recovery home operator

The structure is a master lease. Recovery Housing Pros LLC signs the lease with you and pays the rent; Smart Step operates the home as a recovery residence under written house standards, with a house manager, resident check-ins, and its own program rules. The people living in the home are Smart Step program participants under an occupancy license with Smart Step — they are not your tenants and have no landlord-tenant relationship with you.

One tenant, one lease

Your counterparty is the operator. Rent, maintenance coordination, and communication run through one professional relationship.

Professionally operated

A house manager, written standards, curfew and chore check-ins, and a repair-request system residents use from their phones.

A well-kept home

Recovery residences run on standards most rentals never see — the house is inspected before enrollment and kept to program standards after.

Terms agreed deal by deal

Every agreement is individual — a management percentage or a single-property arrangement, shaped together on the enrollment path.

The six-step enrollment path

  • Tell us about the property — the questionnaire takes minutes; no documents needed yet.
  • Talk with an account executive — a real conversation about your goals and the home.
  • Agree on terms — individual, deal by deal; nothing is standard-form until you've shaped it together.
  • Underwriting — we model the home's economics and confirm the arrangement works for both sides.
  • Property inspection — a scheduled walk-through against what the program needs.
  • Closing and enrollment — sign the agreement; the home is set up, furnished to program standards, and operated as a recovery residence.

You get a private status link the moment you submit and can watch the property move through every step. Start the questionnaire.

What kind of homes work

Single-family homes and small multi-unit properties across metro Atlanta — Gwinnett, Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Hall, Forsyth, Cherokee, Clayton, and Henry counties. Bedroom count, condition, parking, septic or sewer, and any HOA are the first things the questionnaire asks; underwriting and inspection settle the rest. Vacant, owner-occupied, or currently rented properties are all worth a conversation.

Investors

Recovery Housing Pros also works with individual investors on single-property opportunities, structured deal by deal with full documentation. This page and the enrollment path are informational and not an offer or solicitation of securities; investment discussions are individual and documented separately. Start a conversation.

Frequently asked questions

Who is my tenant if I lease my house to a recovery home?
Recovery Housing Pros LLC, the operator — one professional counterparty on a master lease. The residents are Smart Step program participants under an occupancy license with Smart Step, not your tenants.
Who handles maintenance and problems in the home?
The operator. Residents report repairs through their app; a house manager coordinates. Maintenance responsibilities between owner and operator are set out in the lease you agree together.
What are the terms?
Individual, agreed deal by deal on the enrollment path — a management percentage or a single-property arrangement. Nothing here is a standard rate card, and no figure is promised before you've talked with an account executive.
Is this an investment offering?
No. This page is informational. Investor conversations happen individually and are documented separately; nothing here is an offer or solicitation of securities.
