Lease Your Home Without Ongoing Property Management Fees
Professional marketing, tenant screening, and lease coordination handled for you from start to finish so you can secure a qualified tenant without committing to a traditional monthly management model.
How Property Owners Commonly Lease Out a Home
Most owners choose between a traditional full-service property management company and a more streamlined leasing service that focuses on marketing, screening, and lease setup before the property is turned back over to the owner.
Our model is built for owners who want strong front-end leasing support without paying an ongoing monthly management fee after the tenant is placed.
Traditional Property Management
Full-service property management companies often coordinate repairs, collect and distribute rent, handle day-to-day tenant communication, and manage lease enforcement issues if they arise.
That model often includes an upfront leasing fee equal to one month’s rent plus an ongoing monthly management fee that commonly ranges from 6% to 9% of the monthly rent.
Our Hybrid Lease Listing Model
We market your property at our expense, screen applicants, coordinate the approval process, and draft the lease once a tenant is selected. After the lease is signed, rent and security deposit funds go directly to you and the property returns to you in a clean bundled package for ongoing management.
Need Help After the Lease Is Signed?
For owners who want extra help with the practical details, Ensor & Co. Concierge Client Services can provide a local support layer before, during, or after the lease-listing process.
- Vendor access and make-ready coordination
- Vacant-home check-ins before tenant move-in
- Package, mail, trash bin, and plant-related support
- Move-in, move-out, and lease transition assistance
Concierge Services for Lease Owners
This is not full-service property management. It is practical, task-based support for owners who need help handling the details that come with preparing, maintaining, or transitioning a lease property.
Concierge services are optional, quoted separately, and subject to service area, scope, timing, access requirements, and availability.
What We Handle for Lease Listing Clients
1. Marketing Your Property
- Professional property photos
- MLS entry and listing setup
- Syndication to major broker-related and consumer-facing rental websites
- Social media promotion
- Facebook and Instagram retargeting campaigns
- Additional digital exposure designed to attract prospective tenants
2. Applicant Screening
Once we receive an application, we run it through RentSpree Pro so you have meaningful screening information before making a decision.
- Credit review
- Employment verification
- Reference checks
- Prior landlord and rental history review
- Eviction history search
- Criminal background screening where permitted and applicable
3. Lease Coordination
After screening is complete, we send the applicant report to you for review. You decide whether to approve or decline the applicant. If approved, we draft the lease and coordinate signatures with all parties.
At that point, rent and security deposit funds go directly to you and the property becomes owner-managed unless you choose a separate management solution.
Why Owners Like This Model
- You receive professional exposure for your rental without paying a trailing management fee each month.
- You still control the final approval or denial of applicants.
- Funds are paid directly to you after lease execution.
- You get leasing support without handing off long-term management from day one.
Who This Service Fits Best
This service is often a strong fit for owners who want help securing a qualified tenant but prefer to remain directly involved after the lease is in place.
It can also be a practical option for owners who already have a plan for ongoing management and simply want the listing, marketing, screening, and lease preparation handled professionally on the front end.
Our Fee

Tenant Eligibility Criteria
We also provide a Tenant Eligibility Criteria document that we commonly use with landlord clients. If you have additional standards or preferences you would like added, we can review those before the listing goes live.
This helps create a clearer approval process while giving you the opportunity to confirm expectations up front.

Frequently Asked Questions About Leasing Out a Home
Do you provide full-service property management after the lease is signed?
No. This service is structured as a hybrid lease listing and tenant placement model. Once the lease is signed and the tenant is placed, the property returns to the owner for ongoing management unless a separate management arrangement is made elsewhere.
How are prospective tenants screened?
Applications are processed through RentSpree Pro. Screening information may include credit review, employment verification, references, rental history, eviction history, and criminal background information where permitted and applicable.
Who decides whether an applicant is accepted?
The property owner makes the final approval or denial decision. Once we receive the screening report, we send it to you for review before moving forward.
How is your fee structured?
Our fee is a one-time flat fee equal to 80% of one month’s rent, payable at lease signing. There is no trailing monthly management fee under this model.
Where will my rental listing appear?
Your property is entered into the MLS and syndicated to major broker-related and consumer-facing rental websites. We also support the listing with social media promotion and retargeting campaigns designed to increase visibility.
