Owning rental properties is a great investment, but let’s be honest—managing them can feel like a full-time job. From finding the right tenants to handling maintenance and rent collection, keeping up with the day-to-day operations can be time-consuming.

That’s where Rent To Retirement and Hemlane come in. We’ve teamed up to give rental owners the tools they need to self-manage rental properties efficiently—without the need for a property manager.

In this blog, we’ll walk through how self-managing your rentals can be simple, scalable, and profitable with the right support.

Why More Landlords Are Choosing to Self-Manage

Many landlords assume that managing rentals requires hiring a property manager, but that’s no longer the case. With the right software and services, you can stay in control while reducing your workload and maximizing returns.

Here’s why more landlords are choosing to self-manage with Hemlane:

• Full Transparency & Control: You make the key decisions about your properties without outsourcing everything to a third party.
• Lower Costs, Higher Profits: Property management fees can eat into your rental income. By self-managing, you keep more of what you earn.
• Technology & Automation: Managing leases, rent payments, and maintenance requests is easier than ever with software built for landlords.
• Scalability: Whether you own one rental or multiple properties, Hemlane allows you to grow your portfolio with one consistent rental management system.

Now, let’s dive into how Hemlane can help.

Find and Place High-Quality Tenants—Faster

One of the biggest challenges landlords face is finding reliable tenants who pay on time and take care of the property. Hemlane  makes tenant placement simple by offering:

1. Effortless Listing Syndication – List your rental on 15+ top rental sites like Zillow, Redfin, Apartments.com, and more with just a few clicks. Attract qualified tenants faster without the extra work.
2. Comprehensive tenant screening—Verify income, credit, background, and rental history to secure the right renters.
3. Lease agreements & e-signing—Easily generate, send, and sign legally binding leases—fully compliant with your state’s laws.

With these tools, you can fill vacancies faster and reduce turnover, so you spend less time searching for tenants and more time growing your portfolio.

Automate Rent Collection & Lease Management

Chasing down rent payments can be frustrating, but with Hemlane, the process is hands-free.

1.  Automatic rent collection—Tenants pay rent online, and payments are deposited directly into your account.
2.  Late fee enforcement—Set up automatic late fee reminders so you never have to awkwardly remind tenants.
3. Lease tracking & renewals—Stay ahead of lease expiration dates and send renewal offers with ease.

These features eliminate the stress of tracking payments and allow you to keep a steady cash flow—without having to manage each transaction manually.

24/7 Repair Coordination: Hassle-Free Maintenance, Happy Tenants

As a landlord, dealing with repairs is one of the biggest challenges of managing rental properties. From emergency calls in the middle of the night to finding reliable vendors, maintenance can quickly become overwhelming.

That’s where Hemlane comes in. Our 24/7 repair coordination and tenant communication take the stress out of maintenance—so you can focus on growing your rental portfolio instead of fielding late-night calls.

Why 24/7 Repair Coordination Matters

Maintenance requests don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule. When a tenant’s heat goes out in the middle of winter or a pipe bursts overnight, delayed response times can lead to bigger issues, unhappy tenants, and even property damage.

With Hemlane, you get a proactive and hands-free approach to handling repairs:
