Santa Monica Property Management, Fully Handled
Martin Feinberg Team Property Management Group handles residential property management across Santa Monica, so owning a rental stays hands-off and compliant. The team manages single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and small residential buildings for Westside owners who want steady income without chasing tenants, coordinating repairs, or tracking the city’s rental rules.
What We Manage
Martin Feinberg Team Property Management Group runs the full cycle of owning a Santa Monica rental:
- Leasing and tenant screening, so units fill with qualified renters
- Rent collection and owner payments, on time and documented
- Maintenance, vendor coordination, and required inspections
- City and state compliance, from rent caps to registration
- Owner accounting and clear monthly statements
The result is ownership without the day-to-day, and without the compliance risk that comes with an LA rental.
Santa Monica Compliance, Handled for You
Santa Monica has some of the strictest rental rules in the country, and getting them wrong is where owners lose money. Martin Feinberg Team Property Management Group manages each property to the exact rules that apply to it, so an owner never has to learn the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) to stay on the right side of it.
For rent-controlled units in the City of Santa Monica, built on or before October 1, 1978, the team tracks the RSO limits set by the LA Housing Department (3% cap through June 2027) and handles annual LAHD registration, which owners are barred from raising rent without.
For newer units, the team applies the statewide AB 1482 cap of 5% plus inflation, up to 10%. Deposits are held to California’s one month’s rent limit in place since July 2024. And for property inside the City of LA, unincorporated LA County, or an independent city like Culver City that answers to different agencies, the team confirms the right rule set before a single notice goes out.

Priced for the Santa Monica Market
Vacancy in Santa Monica rarely comes from a shortage of renters. It comes from mispricing and weak screening. Martin Feinberg Team Property Management Group prices each rental to the current Santa Monica market and screens tenants who pay and stay, which is what protects an owner’s return.
For a two-bedroom, HUD’s Fair Market Rent benchmark for the LA metro was $2,903 as of May 2026, and real market rents on the Westside often run above that. Owners weighing whether to hold, rent, or sell can start with an ROI calculator.
We Work Where You Are
Martin Feinberg Team Property Management Group is based in Culver City and serves owners across the Westside of Santa Monica, including Mar Vista, Palms, and surrounding communities. The team manages single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and small residential buildings, with the local knowledge that comes from working one market closely rather than the whole county thinly.
Maintenance and Inspections, Covered
Santa Monica rental maintenance comes with local obligations most owners never see coming. Much of the Westside’s rental stock predates 1978, which can place a building under the City’s mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit program for older wood-frame buildings with ground-floor parking.
Martin Feinberg Team Property Management Group coordinates repairs, trusted vendors, and required city inspections, and flags compliance work before it becomes an order to comply. Owners get their property maintained and their obligations met without managing any of it themselves.
Why Santa Monica Owners Choose Martin Feinberg
Owners choose Martin Feinberg Team Property Management Group for a local track record, not a call center. Martin Feinberg has worked the Culver City and Westside market for over 37 years, and client relationships tend to run long.
One owner writes they have “been using this company for almost a decade,” with “excellent tenants, maintenance services, documentation and prompt payment of rent” for a Culver City condo. Another credits the team with bringing rent to market value and screening for creditworthy tenants.
That is the difference between a manager who reacts and one who already knows the rule, the neighborhood, and the number.

Got Questions? Common Questions About LA Property Management
-
How much does residential property management cost in Los Angeles?
Management fees are usually a percentage of the monthly rent, with a separate one-time leasing fee to place a new tenant. The right figure depends on the property and scope of service. Contact Martin Feinberg Team Property Management Group for a quote specific to your rental.
-
What happens if my tenant stops paying rent?
Non-payment is one of the first things Martin Feinberg Team Property Management Group steps in on. The team serves the required notices, follows the just-cause process Los Angeles law requires, and works to resolve the situation quickly. Whether that means creating a payment plan or moving toward recovering the unit, owners are not left to handle a non-paying tenant alone.
-
Can I raise rent to market rate when a tenant moves out?
In most cases, yes. When a tenant voluntarily leaves a rent-controlled Los Angeles unit, an owner can generally reset the rent to market for the next tenant, after which the annual RSO cap applies again to the new tenancy. The team prices the vacant unit to the current market so an owner captures that reset.
-
Can you take over property that already has tenants?
Yes. Martin Feinberg Team Property Management Group regularly takes over occupied Los Angeles rentals. The team reviews the existing lease, confirms the property's rent and registration status with the city, and steps in on rent collection, maintenance, and compliance without disrupting current tenants.
