Hemlane review

Hemlane is built for landlords who may not live near their rentals. The free Starter plan covers advertising to Apartments.com, Zillow and other sites, a full rental application, $40 tenant-paid screening with credit, criminal, eviction and income checks, and rental accounting with bank sync and cash flow reports. Basic adds lease tracking, e-signature, document storage, rent collection with late fees and no ACH fees, and private messaging, for a $28 platform fee plus $2 per unit, or $30 a month for one unit. The service tiers are what set it apart: Essential, at $20 per unit plus the platform fee, adds 24/7 repair coordination with troubleshooting and work orders, and Complete adds a management assistant who handles tenant communication. The platform fee makes Basic pricier than flat-rate tools for one or two units, so it makes the most sense when you will use the service tiers.

Who it is for

Remote landlords who want software now and the option to hand off repairs or tenant communication later.
