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
National City Rent Ordinance
National City 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 National City
Did you know National City 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.

Veronica Martin our managing Broker had over 32 years of experience in property management in single-family and multi-family properties and with her knowledge and experience our clients are fully informed throughout the entire process. 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.

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!

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.

As an individual managing properties for friends and family, I have gained some experience in the rental property business. However, I am eager to expand my knowledge and take my endeavors to a larger scale. With the assistance of this software, I believe I can achieve that and grow both in the business and in life. From my perspective as a freelance agent, working with rental properties has been an exciting and dynamic experience. It involves various tasks such as connecting landlords with potential tenants, organizing property viewings, and negotiating lease agreements. Effective communication and interpersonal skills are essential in understanding the preferences and requirements of both parties involved. As a freelance agent, it is crucial for me to stay updated on local rental market trends and regulations. This ensures that I can provide the best possible service to my clients, meeting their needs and keeping them informed about any changes in the rental market. By continuously learning and adapting to the ever-changing rental property landscape, I am confident that I can achieve success and make a positive impact in this industry.

We realize that our mission is not like other property management companies, we only hope that other property management companies see the value in protecting Landlords like AÏ BANKS. AÏ BANKS is actually giving Landlords the opportunity to guarantee income at zero cost, and that's the part that sounds too good to be true. AÏ BANKS witness the failure of a traditional system built around credit scores that 98% of property management companies and landlords simply returned to after seeing it fail during the pandemic.

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.
