Property Management

What does a property manager actually do?

The short answer

A property manager prices the rental on current comps, markets it, screens tenants under Florida and fair-housing law, drafts and enforces the lease, coordinates maintenance, handles notices and — if needed — the eviction process, and sends you monthly owner statements. You approve costs; the manager runs the operation.

A property manager runs your rental so you don't have to — pricing it, filling it with a screened tenant, collecting the rent, handling maintenance and legal compliance, and reporting it all back to you. Done right, it's the difference between an asset and a second job.

The short answer: a manager handles the full lifecycle of a rental — pricing, marketing, screening, leasing, rent collection, maintenance, legal compliance, and owner reporting — and absorbs the day-to-day problems so you collect income instead of phone calls.

The actual job

Setting rent on current comps; marketing and showing the unit; screening applicants the way Florida law requires; drafting and enforcing the lease; collecting rent; coordinating maintenance; handling renewals and, when necessary, the eviction process; and sending clear monthly statements.

Why it matters in Florida

The compliance piece is bigger here than people expect — deposit rules, notice requirements, and the ban on self-help eviction all carry real penalties for getting them wrong. A good manager keeps you on the right side of all of it. See self-manage vs. hire to weigh it for yourself.
