Built for every type of rental property in Detroit

All of the control, none of the chaos.

More time back. Less admin. We handle the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.

Four headaches every Michigan operator knows. Here’s how Hemlane closes them.

01

Other softwares charge additional transaction fees.

Most platforms charge per ACH payment that add up to tens of thousands a year on a 50-door portfolio. Those fees are yours.

How Hemlane fixes it

100% of late fees back to you, $0 ACH fee.

Hemlane returns 100% of late fees and other tenant-paid fees to the property manager. ACH rent collection is $0 fee. The number on the lease is the number that lands in your account.

2 AM repair calls force you to hire a team you do not want.

Tenants don’t call about repairs during business hours. The 2 AM water heater call is real and so is the cost of dealing with it alone. Our repair coordination team picks up, troubleshoots, and dispatches so you don’t have to.

03

You are running five tools that do not talk to each other.

Five tools. Five logins. Five places where data goes missing. Most operators run their portfolio across platforms that don’t talk to each other. Hemlane replaces all of it with one login, one team in one platform.

How Hemlane fixes it

One product, one login, one team.

Leasing, screening, listings, rent collection, maintenance coordination, delinquency tracking, and eviction support all live inside one Hemlane account, with one login, one team, and one set of state-specific workflows.

What applies here

Local ordinance

Detroit Rent Ordinance

Detroit has no rent-control ordinance. Michigan state law preempts local rent control, so cities and towns cannot cap rent increases. Landlords may raise rent by any amount at the end of a lease term with proper notice, subject to federal fair-housing and anti-retaliation protections.

Fun fact

Fun Facts about Detroit

Did you know Michigan bans local rent control? No city in the state, including Detroit, can set its own cap.

Long-term rentals, under control.

Whether you’re an owner, property manager, real estate agent, or brokerage, Hemlane provides a professional and stress-free way to manage your rentals, use AI and real human support.

One experience with leasing a property is when one of my tenants that rented the upper unit of a 2 family flat that I managed asked me if I could find another home for her because she had MS and it was very hard for her to walk up and down the stairs and some days she just stayed home in the bed in pain. She was on disability and could not afford more than what she was currently paying for the 2 bedroom flat. At that time I was purchasing a 3 bedroom ranch home from one of my Investors for an investment property and so I told her I had the perfect home for her. I drove her to the house and when she saw the house she immediately looked at me and started to cry. She could not believe it. She gave me a big hug and cried. It made me happy to see her happy. That was 5 years ago and she is still a tenant in the home. That is why I enjoy working in real estate and property management. It allows me to help people find a nice home and help owners to relax knowing their investment is in good hands. I am a licensed realtor with experience in managing single and multi family homes as well as apartment complexes. I provide Project Management services for my investors who want to fix and flip properties . I have owned my own Property Management company which I considered a One Stop Shop because I was able to provide the following services: Leasing Rehab / Renovation Maintenance Buy and Sell Listing on MLS I had the experience of managing a Rehab of a Multifamily home into a single family home for retail sale. The property was in disrepair and we had to totally gut it down to the studs. It was totally re-wire, re-plumbed and all new drywall was put in. We opened up walls to extend the kitchen in the lower unit and also removed kitchen in upper unit and extended the bedroom to include a huge walk -in closet. It sold for $169K.

Detroit

I am a first-time homebuyer and owner-occupant who purchased a two-unit property in Detroit at 22 years old through the Detroit Down Payment Assistance Program. I currently live in the upper unit while renting the first-floor unit, giving me firsthand experience with the responsibilities of being both a homeowner and a landlord. My experience includes preparing a rental unit for a tenant, understanding tenant needs, creating property guidelines, coordinating security measures, and learning about rental requirements and Section 8 housing. I have also gained experience managing property-related responsibilities, including maintenance planning, renovations, budgeting, and improving the safety and appearance of the property. As a young homeowner, I have learned how important communication, organization, financial responsibility, and problem-solving are in rental property management. My goal is to continue expanding my knowledge and experience in real estate and eventually grow my rental property portfolio while providing safe, well-maintained, and affordable housing to tenants.

Local Agents For Your State

Michigan-specific questions, answered.

Common operator questions about running rentals on Hemlane. Each answer ties back to the state-specific workflow Hemlane runs.

You do not need a license to manage your own rental properties through Hemlane. If you manage rentals on behalf of others for compensation, your state may require a real estate broker’s license. Hemlane’s local agents are licensed professionals, so owners using the Agents service are always working with a licensed local expert.

Most states strongly recommend or require written lease agreements for all rental terms. Hemlane provides state-specific lease templates that include required disclosures and legally recognized terms which are ready to send with eSign in minutes.

Hemlane automates rent collection from end to end. Tenants pay online, and funds are deposited directly to the owner and not held in a third-party account. 100% of the rent goes directly to you. Automated reminders and late fee notices reduce manual follow-up so you get paid on time without chasing tenants.

Hemlane lets you configure automated late fees that align with your state’s legal limits. The platform sends automated reminders before rent is due and late notices after. Once the process is set-up, it runs without you having to make a single call.
