Leasing and Marketing: Master effective marketing, unit showings, applicantscreening, and lease negotiations to attract and keep tenants. Maintenance and Property Operations: Understand preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, vendor management, capital improvements, and software tools.
When leasing software ties directly into applicantscreening, digital document storage, and rent collection, it reduces the chance for errors and cuts the time it takes to complete each lease. These tools remove bottlenecks from the leasing cycle and help teams move tenants in quickly without bouncing between systems.
You’ll need to follow the rules around: Security deposits Fair housing compliance Proper notice for entry and lease terminations Habitability standards Eviction process And if you’re managing this yourself, you’ll be responsible for lease drafting, applicationscreening, and knowing how to deny an applicant legally if needed.
More work is generated as a result, including more advertising, applicantscreening, rent collection, move-ins and move-outs, and upkeep. It is more difficult to administer multifamily dwellings because you must deal with multi-family tenants.
While fair housing covers every aspect of renting, it’s during the marketing and applicationscreening phases that we see the most mistakes. Then, stick to it and always remember that common sense and striving to treat everyone equally are your guiding principles.
ApplicationScreening Many property owners don’t truly understand the importance of properly screening tenant applications. Our Los Angeles property management team relies on complete background, credit, criminal, and employment checks, as well as references from past landlords.
Follow strict policies and procedures from applicantscreening to rent collection. We don’t just qualify an applicant to get the property rented faster.

But the question is: Do you have that much time to run ads, invite applications, screen their authenticity, onboard new tenants, collect rents every month, run maintenance activities, and more? It’s simple. No, probably. That’s the reason you need a helping hand that can do all the above on your behalf.
It can also help eliminate any false positives that may have slipped past the applicationscreening criteria. By asking targeted questions, you can promptly discern whether the applicant aligns with the property’s basic requirements, ensuring that only the most fitting candidates proceed to the next steps.
It can involve using single-family property management software to streamline tasks such as rent collection, applicantscreening, property maintenance requests, and accounting, among others. At Second Nature, we think of automation and outsourcing as two sides of the same coin. Either way, you're getting your time back.
