Four headaches every California 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.
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
South San Francisco Rent Ordinance
South San Francisco 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 South San Francisco
Did you know South San Francisco 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.

Hey there, I'm a property manager, and I've been in this field since 2018. It's been quite a rollercoaster ride, let me tell you! I've had the privilege (or sometimes the challenge) of renting to a wide range of tenants, from those on Section 8 assistance to your regular, everyday renters. One thing I've learned over the years is that the world of property management is never dull. I've seen it all, from nightmare situations that could rival a horror movie to those heartwarming, picture-perfect scenarios where tenants stay for years, pay their rent on time, and treat the property like it's their own. Through all these experiences, I've gained the expertise to handle just about any situation that comes my way. I've learned that flexibility, empathy, and clear communication are my best tools in this business. So, whether you're dealing with tenant issues, property maintenance, or navigating the complex world of property management laws, rest assured, I've got the experience and knowledge to help you out. Feel free to ask me anything, and I'll share my insights to make your property management journey smoother.

My name is Lisa Trinell J. I am an Investment Entrepreneur. My real estate career started in1998 when I used an FHA loan to buy my first property which shortly after became a rental. I earned my real estate agents license in 2002 originally just for my own personal knowledge, but then moved into sales and property management to others. I obtained my Real Estate Brokers License in 2006 and I have been active fulltime in the business since. My personal portfolio consist of 6 multi-family properties to include: 1-fourplex, 4 duplexes and 1-11 unit commercial apartment building. I currently manage a portfolio of 450 units across the San Francisco-Bay Area over 70 properties consisting of multi-family, single family and commercial properties valued at approximately $600 million dollars. Personally, I have bought and sold approximately $7.5 million dollars worth of commercial and residential real estate. I have invested in California, Michigan and most recently, Wisconsin. Professionally, I have assisted clients with buying and selling approximately $800 million dollars worth of real estate assets.

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.
