Services
Leasing Services
We handle complete tenant acquisition processes including property marketing, applicant screening, lease preparation, and move-in coordination. Our systematic approach ensures qualified tenants while protecting property owner interests. Services conclude with successful tenant occupancy and comprehensive documentation of property condition.
Property Management
Day-to-day management includes tenant communication, maintenance oversight, financial administration, and regulatory compliance. We address repair requests, manage vendor relationships, and handle complex issues like legal disputes and government citations to reduce owner responsibilities while maintaining property value.
Emergency Support
Critical maintenance issues receive immediate attention through our afterhours emergency contact system. Available 24/7 for urgent matters like plumbing failures, heating emergencies, and structural damage, we ensure rapid response to protect both tenants and property investments through established protocols and contact procedures.
Maintenance Requests
Standard maintenance issues are processed through our PropertyMeld portal for efficient tracking and resolution. We manage service requests from submission to completion, while clearly defining tenant responsibilities for minor issues and coordinating major repairs with qualified vendors.
Tenant Portal Access
Our online portal enables electronic rent payments, maintenance requests, and document sharing. Tenants access account information and submit requests while owners view property status reports. The system streamlines communication and transactions while maintaining secure data handling practices.
Questions
What should new tenants document after moving in?
Complete a move-in checklist noting any deficiencies within a week, including photos, and submit through your portal for future reference during move-out inspections.
How can tenants pay rent?
Pay through the tenant portal with electronic debit ($3 fee), mail personal checks to The The Rental Source, or use your bank's free bill pay service for check mailing.
How do I request maintenance services?
Submit standard requests through PropertyMeld portal. For emergencies after hours, contact Damon at 415-606-9036 or Marcela at 415-762-4280 as listed in your emergency flyer.
What maintenance issues aren't covered?
Lightbulb replacement, condo common area issues, drain plunging, and post-move-in improvements aren't covered. We'll pass plumber bills for routine drain clearing to tenants.
Do you assist with lockout emergencies?
We maintain spare keys for managed units and can provide access during business hours. Afterhours lockouts require tenants to contact a locksmith at their own expense.
What constitutes an emergency maintenance request?
Failing refrigeration, heating failures, plumbing backups, roof leaks, fire damage, or structural issues like fallen trees require immediate attention through our afterhours emergency system.

Not only do they not respond to your calls and emails on time. They do t care about their tenets and if you ask for repairs they won't fix it at all. I have been having issues with my neighbors on the same floor and have reported multiple times and they never do nothing about it cause THEY DONT CARE. Worst management! No communication at all

I found my new apt via The Rental source. It was a nice Victorian apt with the affordable price. My agent is Kent. He was very nice, responsive and informative during the whole process. I was nervous because it was a first time I used this service but it turned out great.

Thus far I've had a great experience with Rental Source as a renter. I found a great apartment at a reasonable price and pleased to find it managed so well. I'm looking forward to moving in.

Apartment hunting made easy, we pretty much like the place, apply and got it within a week. Joan was so nice and helpful for a minute I started doubting it was maybe too easy, haha. We are happy and had an amazing experience with them, totally recommend it!
