A clear plan for your rental, from finding a tenant to managing an occupied home. Choose the service that fits your property and see the fees and agreement terms before you sign.
Tenant Placement + Management combines tenant placement with ongoing rent collection, owner and tenant portals, maintenance coordination and lease enforcement. Basic, Preferred and Concierge offer different inclusions.
An occupied home to manage
Management Only is for an existing tenancy. Choose Preferred or Concierge, and prepare the signed lease, tenant ledger, deposit records, keys and open work orders for the handoff. Existing-tenant management does not include the placement bundle benefits.
A tenant to place, then self-manage
Tenant Placement Only includes listing, showings, screening and lease preparation. Our role ends at lease execution and payment of the placement fee. You handle move-in and ongoing management.
Use the exact property address when checking the rental plan. A city or neighborhood label alone is not enough to establish a rent estimate, a property’s condition or the rules that apply.
Build an address-specific rent comparison
Separate detached homes, townhomes and condos. Record bedrooms, bathrooms, condition, parking, outdoor space, included utilities and the available date. Ask for dated comparable listings and distinguish advertised rent from a completed lease. Use those details to discuss a starting rent and when to reassess it.
Gather any association or condo rules, existing permits, rental registrations, inspection records and insurance requirements for your address. Verify outstanding requirements with the relevant authority or association. Agree in writing on repairs, access, owner responsibilities and the services included in your selected plan.
Property-tax protests, historic-district applications and tree-removal permits are owner responsibilities; do not assume they are included in a management plan.
Fees and service terms
Basic $139/mo, Preferred $179/mo and Concierge $349/mo with annual billing. Monthly billing is $149, $199 and $369/mo respectively.
Tenant Placement + Management has a $350 listing and activation fee, a placement fee of one month's rent when a tenant is placed, and the selected management fee. Tenant Placement Only has a $500 listing launch fee plus one month's rent at lease execution, with no ongoing management. Management Only starts with a $500 activation fee and offers Preferred or Concierge; Basic is not available for that service. Every home after your first has no activation fee: sign up your next home with the same email or phone and it comes off automatically, no code needed.
Repairs carry a 10% maintenance coordination fee in addition to the vendor invoice. Renewals, inspections and other charges depend on the plan. Annual pricing has a term commitment; review notice, termination and refund provisions before signing.
The Perfect 10ant System™ is our 10-point tenant screening process: identity, income, employment, credit, rental history, previous landlord references, criminal background, sex offender registry, bankruptcy and foreclosure history. Screening supports a placement decision; it does not guarantee future rent payments or eliminate every risk.

Choose Management Only if you want us to manage an existing tenancy. Preferred and Concierge are available. If your home needs a tenant and ongoing management, choose Tenant Placement + Management. If you intend to manage it yourself after leasing, choose Tenant Placement Only; our role ends at lease execution and payment of the placement fee, and you handle move-in.
Start by reviewing your current management agreement for notice, termination and fee requirements. Before the handoff, gather the signed lease, tenant ledger, security deposit records, keys and access details, and open maintenance requests. Agree on a cutover date and confirm who will collect rent, how the tenant will receive new payment instructions, and how outstanding balances will be reconciled. Check the first payment after the transition. If you already have a tenant, Flat Fee Landlord offers Management Only on Preferred or Concierge. Timing depends on your agreement and the records available; a switch cannot be guaranteed to have no disruption.
Yes. Every home after your first has no activation fee: sign up your next home with the same email or phone and it comes off automatically, no code needed. Already an owner with us? Your next home is already $0 to activate. The monthly management fee stays the same flat rate per home.
With Tenant Placement + Management, if no completed application is generated within 21 days of the home being rent-ready and listed, we waive the first two months of management fees. This is an application milestone, not a guaranteed lease-signing or move-in date. Owner restrictions, pricing outside our recommended range, access or readiness delays, and events beyond our control are excluded. It does not apply to Tenant Placement Only or Management Only.
Tenant assurance applies to tenants we place through a Preferred or Concierge Tenant Placement + Management bundle: 9 months on Preferred and 12 months on Concierge. For a qualifying lease breach or eviction during that window, we find a replacement without another placement fee, subject to the agreement. Owner-caused departures, agreed early exits, military SCRA terminations, owner sale or occupancy decisions, and events after the management agreement ends are excluded. Third-party costs such as photography may still apply. Basic, Tenant Placement Only and Management Only do not include tenant assurance.
For tenants we placed, annual Preferred and Concierge Tenant Placement + Management bundles include our eviction coordination fee. Basic and monthly bundles have a $750 coordination fee; management-only plans require a separate $750 engagement. Tenant placement only does not include ongoing eviction coordination. Filing fees, court costs, sheriff or constable fees, and vendor invoices are paid by the owner. If court representation is needed, the owner retains and pays an attorney directly. We provide coordination and paperwork support, not legal representation.
The Perfect 10ant System™ is our 10-point tenant screening process: identity, income, employment, credit, rental history, previous landlord references, criminal background, sex offender registry, bankruptcy and foreclosure history. Screening supports a placement decision; it does not guarantee future rent payments or eliminate every risk.
Monthly and annual options are available. Annual pricing carries a term commitment, and early termination can require payment of the remaining management fees. Notice, renewal, refund and termination rules depend on the service agreement you select. Review those terms in the quote builder before signing; the monthly rate alone is not the full agreement.
Request a rental analysis for the exact address. Compare similar homes by property type, condition, size, parking, lease terms and availability date. Ask when each comparison was collected and whether it is an asking rent or an executed lease. A neighborhood average alone cannot establish the rent for your home, and an estimate does not guarantee a signed lease at that price. Request your rental analysis.
The 90-day satisfaction guarantee applies to Tenant Placement + Management and Management Only. Give written cancellation notice to hello@flatfeelandlord.com within 90 days after you sign. We refund the monthly management fees you paid, with no early termination fee. This refund excludes the listing or activation fee, placement fees for an executed lease, pass-through costs and vendor invoices. Activation-fee refunds follow the separate Satisfaction Window in your agreement. Tenant Placement Only does not include the 90-day management-fee guarantee. Post-termination reconciliation rules still apply.
