Clayton is a city in Montgomery County, Ohio, situated in the northwestern Dayton metropolitan area. With a population of approximately 13,000, Clayton was incorporated in 1967 through the consolidation of former Butler Township and takes its name from United States Senator John M. Clayton of Delaware. The city is part of the Northmont City School District service area, which gives it a strong suburban school identity shared with neighboring Englewood and Union.
Clayton's built environment is predominantly residential — well-maintained single-family neighborhoods developed from the 1960s through 2000s, with a modest commercial presence along State Routes 49 and 40. Northmont High School, which serves students from Clayton and surrounding communities, holds an 8 of 10 GreatSchools rating — one of the stronger public high school scores in Montgomery County. Flat Fork Park and the township's green infrastructure give residents accessible recreational space. Proximity to Dayton International Airport in adjacent Vandalia provides employment access for aviation, logistics, and air freight workers.
With approximately 82% owner-occupancy and a median household income near $91,000, Clayton is among the more affluent and ownership-dominated communities in the northwestern Dayton metro. The rental market is small but well-defined: households renting in Clayton typically do so to access Northmont schools and the northwest Dayton location while they position for ownership — producing financially stable, longer-tenancy renters in a market where competing rental supply is very limited.

What Owners Are Saying
Real reviews from EquityTeam’s clients & customers.
“Very reliable, responsive, transparent, and professional. I simply could not ask for more. Maintenance is great, reports are thorough and on time. I have had previous experience with another management company and the difference is night and day.”
“I had a property I couldn't sell and 'tried' to be a landlord. I wish I would have turned the property over to the EquityTeam years ago. They are professional, honest, and quick to answer any questions you have. They found me a great tenant in 7 days after listing it.”
“EquityTeam has managed my property for over a decade. The property has been vacant for less than a month in that time, which is outstanding. They do a great job of managing the tenant relationship while also taking great care of my property.”

• Monthly Management Fees: 8% to 12% of monthly rent.
• Leasing Fees: 50–100% of one month’s rent, sometimes a flat fee of around $800–$1,000.
• Lease Renewal Fees: from a flat fee of around $100 per renewal up to 6% of the total lease term’s cumulative gross rents.
• Maintenance: Some companies charge hourly rates (starting around $60–$70 per hour and up) for an internal technician, while others outsource all maintenance to local vendors and pass the vendor bill through to the owner with a slight markup. Typically, those with internal maintenance techs respond faster, do better work, and cost the owner less in the long run.
It can be hard to find these prices online since many management companies are not transparent with their pricing. EquityTeam publishes its pricing online on our Residential Property Management page.
