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.
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.

Local ordinance
La Mesa Rent Ordinance
La Mesa has no local rent-control ordinance, so California's statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) applies. Annual rent increases are capped at 5% plus the regional CPI, up to a 10% maximum, and just-cause eviction protections apply after 12 months of tenancy. Single-family homes and condos owned by individuals, and buildings less than 15 years old, are generally exempt.
Fun fact
Fun Facts about La Mesa
Did you know La Mesa has no rent-control ordinance of its own? California's statewide AB 1482 cap (5% + regional CPI, up to 10%) is what limits rent increases here.

I have experience in leasing residential as well as commercial properties. Commercial leasing is fun and challenging because you need to understand the business and the owner's requirements to find the right location to be successful. Most agents won't spend the time to work with residential rentals; however, I think it's important to provide my service and experience as it can be awkward for renters dealing with an owner and vice versa, sort of like a first date. I'm the go-between to make sure it's a win-win outcome. I also provide property owners with a full rental analysis of their property. This will include my opinion of the property's value, comparable rental leases, and sell and hold strategies. Remember, you make money when you buy real estate, not when you sell. San Diego is a great place to live and one of the best cities to own real estate.

Hello, I'm Thomas Baker. In 1982 I was in the supermarket when I had a chance meeting with a friend from college. She was in Real Estate and felt that I would be great in the business. Well all these years later, I'm still at it. I love the business, and what owning a home can mean for most people, and their future. I served in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve from 1985 to 2015, retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer. I was recalled to active duty four times including in support of Desert Shield/Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2017 I earned the professional certification Military Relocation Professional (MRP). In addition, I also hold the Graduate REALTORS, Institute (GRI) designation, and the Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) designation.

Leisure Life Property Management believes that clients come first. We pledge to be in constant communication with our clients and tenants as communication is key to a successful relationship.

At the end of the day, ensuring that your tenants also have a healthy customer service experience leads to strong reviews, good word-of-mouth, and tenant loyalty. We believe that if you're not left with an amazing experience, we haven't done our job. Leisure Life Property Management measures its success through the satisfaction and success of its clients and residents as they are the lifeline of our business. Here's a funny fact about property managers: Did you know that property managers have a secret superpower? They can magically fix any leaky faucet or creaking door just by pretending to understand what they're doing! It's like they have a special connection with household appliances, and with a simple "Hmm, let me take a look," they can make things right. It's as if their mere presence scares the plumbing or the door into behaving properly. It's definitely a talent that comes in handy when dealing with all the quirks of different properties. Just don't tell them we know their secret!

I’m not just a property manager, I’m an active rental property owner myself. I own and operate my own rental properties and manage homes for multiple landlords across San Diego, which means I approach every decision with the same mindset I use for my own portfolio. My focus is always on minimizing vacancy, placing quality tenants, controlling operating expenses, and protecting the long-term value of the asset. Having personal capital at risk gives me a practical, no-nonsense perspective on property management. I understand the real impact that prolonged vacancies, deferred maintenance, or poorly screened tenants can have on returns. Because of that, I emphasize proactive communication, preventative maintenance, and clear financial reporting, so owners always know how their property is performing. I also understand that every landlord’s goals are different, whether that’s maximizing cash flow, preparing for a future sale, or holding long-term for appreciation. My role is to manage each property strategically, not just administratively, and to treat every home I oversee with the same level of care and accountability I expect for my own investments.

Since I am a real estate agent some of my clients were in the need of a company to help them manage their properties or to find a tenant for their investment properties. That's how I stated this. We like to help our clients on the real estate side and property management. We like to make sure my clients understand the process, feel comfortable and satisfied with our service, for that we have developed a system to guide you in the simplest way, step by step to know what to expect. Communication and keeping our clients well informed is one of our priorities. We take serious our job, for that we use the most updated tools, to advertise and find the right tenants to fit our clients needs.

We've been residential real estate agent since the early 2000's. We're passionate about helping our clients secure their financial futures via real estate. Real estate is a cornerstone for building generational wealth and opening doors for future success and security. Property management is one way we support our clients. San Diego has a very low vacancy rate, making the rental market competitive for tenants. We take the time to evaluate all applicants and select tenants who have demonstrated the ability to meet their rents in full and on time. This rental income stability makes my homeowners happy, and creates the opportunity to properly maintain properties and uphold the long-term viability of rental properties. By staying on top of regular maintenance and repairs and managing turnover well, we ensure that property owners have good resale value in the future. The goal is to manage properties in a way that ensures long-term occupancy and a property's value.

Local Agents For Your State
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.
