Tenant Placement Specialists

Wrong Tenant.
Real Damage.

Missed rent, property damage and turnover can put your rental income at risk.

Flat Fee Landlord offers tenant placement and flat-fee management. Placement fees are separate; guarantees depend on your service and plan.

No commitment. Review pricing before choosing a service.

The Problem

Understand the Risks Before You Hand Over the Keys.

Missed rent. Legal fees. A property left in worse shape than you found it. Costs vary with your property, the tenancy and the work required. No screening process can eliminate every risk.

Compare a provider's screening process, communication, fees and written terms. A fee model alone does not establish the quality of its service.

Choose the service that matches the work you want to hand off.

Three ways to work with Flat Fee Landlord

Tenant Placement + Management

For a home that needs a tenant and ongoing management. A listing and activation fee, a placement fee and the selected management rate apply.

Tenant Placement Only

For owners who will manage the tenancy themselves. We handle leasing through lease execution and placement-fee payment; you handle move-in and ongoing management.

Management Only

For a rental with an existing tenant. Preferred and Concierge are available; Basic is not offered for this service.

Our Process

How Our Tenant Placement Process Works

The Perfect 10ant System™ combines 10-point screening with a defined leasing process. Timing depends on the home and market.

1

Prepare and Market Your Listing

We review comparable rentals, recommend an asking rent, arrange professional photography and publish your rental listing. An asking-rent recommendation is not a guarantee of achieved rent.

2

Screen Rental Applicants

The Perfect 10ant System™ is our 10-point tenant screening process: identity, income, employment, credit, rental history, previous landlord references, criminal background, sex offender registry, bankruptcy and foreclosure history. Screening supports a placement decision; it does not guarantee future rent payments or eliminate every risk.

3

Lease Execution & a Clear Handoff

We prepare and execute the lease. With placement only, you handle move-in, hold the deposit and manage the tenancy after the lease is signed and placement fee is paid.

4

Tenant Assurance on Eligible Bundles

Preferred and Concierge placement-and-management bundles include 9 or 12 months of tenant assurance for qualifying events. Basic and standalone services do not include it; agreement exclusions apply.

Our Guarantees

Know Which Benefits Apply to Your Plan.

Eligibility, remedies and exclusions differ by service. Review your selected agreement before signing.

Flagship

9–12 Month Tenant Assurance

Preferred & Concierge — Bundle Only

Tenant assurance applies to tenants we place through a Preferred or Concierge Tenant Placement + Management bundle: 9 months on Preferred and 12 months on Concierge. For a qualifying lease breach or eviction during that window, we find a replacement without another placement fee, subject to the agreement. Owner-caused departures, agreed early exits, military SCRA terminations, owner sale or occupancy decisions, and events after the management agreement ends are excluded. Third-party costs such as photography may still apply. Basic, Tenant Placement Only and Management Only do not include tenant assurance.

21-Day Placement Promise

All Plans — Bundle Only

With Tenant Placement + Management, if no completed application is generated within 21 days of the home being rent-ready and listed, we waive the first two months of management fees. This is an application milestone, not a guaranteed lease-signing or move-in date. Owner restrictions, pricing outside our recommended range, access or readiness delays, and events beyond our control are excluded. It does not apply to Tenant Placement Only or Management Only.

Eviction Coordination

Annual Preferred + Concierge bundle

Eviction coordination is included with annual Preferred or Concierge Tenant Placement + Management for tenants we placed. Owners pay court filing costs and attorney fees.

90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee

Bundle & management plans

The 90-day satisfaction guarantee applies to Tenant Placement + Management and Management Only. Give written cancellation notice to hello@flatfeelandlord.com within 90 days after you sign. We refund the monthly management fees you paid, with no early termination fee. This refund excludes the listing or activation fee, placement fees for an executed lease, pass-through costs and vendor invoices. Activation-fee refunds follow the separate Satisfaction Window in your agreement. Tenant Placement Only does not include the 90-day management-fee guarantee. Post-termination reconciliation rules still apply.

Flexible Terms

Monthly and annual options are available. Annual pricing carries a term commitment, and early termination can require payment of the remaining management fees. Notice, renewal, refund and termination rules depend on the service agreement you select. Review those terms in the quote builder before signing; the monthly rate alone is not the full agreement.
