Property management software
Hemlane
Hemlane is property management software for long-term rentals. According to Hemlane's website, it covers online rent collection (with rent and late fees paid directly to you), tenant screening that includes credit, criminal, eviction and income reporting, lease templates with e-signing, rental accounting, and 24/7 repair coordination. Hemlane lists a free Starter plan, with paid services such as tenant placement available as add-ons. Check Hemlane's site for current plans and pricing.
Software doesn't replace knowing your state's rules. Late fee caps, entry notice and eviction notice periods still apply, so check the state guides before you set a policy.
Banking and security deposits
Baselane
Baselane offers landlord banking, rent collection and tools for holding security deposits.
Some states have rules on where deposits are held and whether interest is owed. Check your state guide first.
Forms and templates
Landlord Forms Co. has editable landlord templates. Templates are not legal advice; check your state's rules before you use one.
