How Our Team Screens Our Rental Applicants
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

We do not use any of those protected classes in the screening process.

Marketing is the key to successful rentals. As a first step, Martin Feinberg Real Estate provides an expert market analysis for each property we manage. Our goal is to maximize your return on investment.
Tenant Screening
We conduct extensive screening on all new tenants. Our team handles everything from moving your qualified tenant into their new home, to rent collection, to handling maintenance issues.
Rent Collection
Our team makes sure you get paid on time, every time. You don’t have to worry about whether rent payments will show up in your bank account or not. We take care of everything. So, you have nothing to worry about.
Maintenance
We conduct inspections upon move-in and move-out. These include documenting the property’s condition and ensuring all maintenance issues are addressed in a timely manner.

It's never been easier to keep tabs on your investment. Our detailed financial reporting tools let you log into an owner’s portal to view statements. You can easily stay in tune with how your investment is performing.

In the unfortunate event that a tenant needs to be evicted from your rental, we will cover the cost of a simple uncontested eviction (some restrictions apply) and ensure your investment is protected.
Lease Execution
We use a tailored screening process and specialized search technology to avoid difficult tenants and attract long term, quality residents.

Tenants can pay rent and submit maintenance requests online for ease and efficiency. Meanwhile, owners can view financial reports, invoices, income statements, and more at any time through the Owner Portal.
Market-Driven Rent Analysis
