Leaving Your Property Manager
Ready to self-manage?
We handle the transition.
You stay in control of every decision. We just make sure nothing falls through during the switch. LeaseBase manages the handoff so your tenants see a professional transition — not a downgrade.
The math doesn’t work anymore
You’re paying $100–200 per unit per month. For a 10-unit portfolio, that’s $12,000–$24,000 a year. You know you could do it yourself — you just don’t want to deal with the transition.
What do I tell the tenants? How do I get the leases? What about the vendor contacts? What if something breaks during the handoff?
That fear is why most owners stay with PMs longer than they should. Not because the PM is great — because the switch feels risky.
What the other side looks like
Your tenants got a professional transition letter. They set up their portal in 2 minutes. Rent comes directly to your bank account — no PM cut. Maintenance requests come to you with photos, triaged by priority. You see everything in one dashboard.
You saved $18,000 this year. And nothing broke.
The handoff checklist
Everything you need from your PM before you go.
Get copies of all active lease agreements — you’ll upload these to LeaseBase.
Names, emails, phone numbers. LeaseBase uses these to send portal invitations.
Plumber, electrician, handyman, HVAC. Add them to your LeaseBase vendor directory.
Amounts held, accounts, and any existing deductions.
Property keys, lockbox codes, gate codes, utility account numbers.
Any pending work orders so nothing falls through the cracks.
LeaseBase handles compliance, rent collection, and maintenance in one place.
