How Our Team Screens Our Rental Applicants

Schedule a Consultation

Our in-house screening method combines both personalized processing and advanced data search technology. This minimizes the risk of placing a difficult tenant. We are proud to have processed over 1,500 rental applications. Of those, we have a 99% rent collection rate.

Placing high-quality, long-term residents who pay their rent on time is fundamental to taking care of a property. In fact, many property managers agree that the selection of a tenant is the most important aspect of the job. This is why our industry-leading screening process’s results are so important.

The Martin Feinberg team has processed over 1,500 rental applications. This means our team knows exactly what to look for. It also means we know what to avoid. 99% of our tenants pay rent each month. Our eviction rate is 1%.

Prospects can sign up for automatic notifications of upcoming rental properties. This speeds up the leasing process and creates a virtual “waiting list” for upcoming vacancies.

Overview of FEHA

The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) also prohibits discrimination in all aspects of housing (rental, lease, terms and conditions, etc.) because of a person's disability as well as age, ancestry, color, creed, denial of family and medical care leave,marital status, medical condition (cancer and genetic characteristics), national origin, race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation. We do not use any of those protected classes in the screening process.

Discover What We Do As Your Los Angeles Property Manager

Priced for the Los Angeles Market

Vacancy in Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles, 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

Los Angeles 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.
