Leasing Your Long Beach Rental Home

Leasing your rental property shouldn’t be stressful or complicated. Owners know that renting out your property is where a good investment experience starts. When you partner with HCM Property Management in Long Beach, you can be sure we’ll find you a qualified renter quickly, to reduce vacancy loss and ensure a profitable rental process.

Efficient Marketing and Leasing Leads to Lower Vacancy

We are proud of our unique 34-point marketing plan, which is proven and effective. It enables us to advertise your property to a large pool of qualified tenants who are ready to sign a lease and move in. We attract renters with a history of positive rental experiences and reliable income. There’s less vacancy loss when you aren’t waiting weeks and months to find that perfect tenant.

Screening Tenant Credit and Financials

Screening Long Beach tenants should be detailed and consistent. It also has to be fair to avoid running afoul of strict California fair housing laws. You can count on us to comply with all federal and state fair housing laws while finding a tenant who has acceptable credit, income, and rental references. 

Effective tenant screening will include careful evaluation of an application, including the credit report, employment and earnings, as well as criminal history and general background. We look for prior evictions and verify identity.  

A qualified tenant will be screened for:

  • Satisfactory credit
  • Income at least three times the monthly rent
  • Verifiable identification and social security number
i

Evaluating Rental History

Even tenants who look perfect on paper come with an element of risk. Just because there’s a high income and perfect credit doesn’t mean your property is safe. So – we closely examine rental history and talk to current and former landlords. We have high expectations for how a tenant will treat your home.

The screening process at HCM includes seeking tenants who pay bills on time, particularly their rent, utilities, and other housing-related expenses. We look for judgments or collections or money owed to former landlords or apartment communities.

Our application asks for permission to complete a full background check, including credit, criminal, and landlord references.

Applicants know this ahead of time. They receive a written list of rental criteria before they apply.

    Avoiding Long Beach Evictions

    There aren’t a lot of Long Beach property managers who can celebrate an eviction rate that’s holding steady at 0.00%. At HCM, we can. We simply do not have to evict the tenants we place. This impressive statistic reflects the effectiveness of our screening process and our ability to identify and recruit only highly qualified residents.

    Evictions in Long Beach are expensive and time consuming. They also come with their own risk that your case will be thrown out or overcomplicated. Mistakes are easy to make, and it only takes one missed detail to set you back to the start of the process. You don’t want to find yourself having to remove a tenant, and when you partner with HCM, we make sure that’s unlikely to occur.

    This doesn’t mean we won’t evict for unpaid rent, property damage, lease violations, or criminal conduct. It simply means we rarely need to take this step.

      Long Beach Property Management and Leasing: Work with HCM

      HCM has a standard full-service property management fee, which includes our leasing programs. You can work with us for a low fixed rate starting at $99 per month for single-family homes, condos, and town-homes.

      There are no set-up fees and no fees while your property is vacant. We only earn our property management fees when we are collecting rent from your tenants.

      If you have a multi-unit property, please contact our office for a no-obligation quote.

      I was so very impressed from start to finish about the professionalism and convenience of each step. Signing up for the in person viewing was quick, all via text, with a very professional verification service. The visit was quickly followed by a check in text asking if we wanted to apply, which we did. Transition from automated service to person was fast! Dianne Carlyle is fantastic!!! She helped guide us and was incredibly responsive. She was also kind and funny, which is not necessary, but certainly a plus that put us at ease. Also, the property is obviously everything we wanted at a great price point. We saw two other places with another property management company the same day and the contrast between the two was stark. The other places had serious defects that I felt were not acknowledged because the asking price was still high AND the agents were not as good as Dianne. Total process was from viewing to approved was 2 days and now we are happy as clams!

      Dianne was extremely helpful and accommodating! I went and saw a condo on a Thursday and told her I needed to sign a lease immediately and move in that weekend and she was able to get everything done in that 24 hour window. Dianne was very nice and answered all questions. I would definitely recommend her.

      Have been with HCM since March and have been very happy with their service. Had a horrible experience with a non paying tenant and a property management company that did not know what they were doing. Switched to HCM once tenant was out and very quickly found what seems to be a very good tenant so far. They have been very professional and easy to work, and not to mention cost effective with their management fees. This has meant a lot after having gone through the previous horrific experience. Would definitely recommend them!!

      Gabby, from the LA Leasing Department with HCM, has since day one, been a pleasure to work with! She is quick to respond, always helpful, and kind. I have contacted her about things outside of just leasing and she still goes above and beyond to get me what I need or answer any questions I may have, quickly too. If you need a reliable leasing agent, I highly recommend working with Gabby Lopez! Thank you!

      Luisa brought clarity and accuracy to many transactions that were previously confusing on our owner statements. I appreciate her reorganizing the year to date statements as prior statements were choppy in dating and numbers were off! Please pat yourself on the back, Luisa, because this is much clearer in understanding for me as an owner and for our CPA.She is an asset to her role.
