OwnerLedger is free and helpful, but it is not your property manager or lawyer, so always verify the company and confirm local rules before you sign anything.
What OwnerLedger is — and is not
OwnerLedger is a free matching service for rental-property owners in the United States. We help owners compare nearby property management companies, but we are not a property management company, real-estate broker, attorney, or accountant.
We do not lease units, collect rent, hold security deposits, screen tenants, coordinate repairs, or manage property. We do not negotiate management agreements for you. The owner stays in control: you review proposals, verify the company, read the agreement, and decide who to hire.
General information only
The information on this site is general information only. It is not legal, tax, accounting, insurance, or real-estate brokerage advice, and it should not be treated as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
Landlord-tenant law, fair-housing rules, license requirements, eviction procedures, trust-account rules, local registration rules, and taxes can change and vary by state, county, and city. Before you act, confirm details with a licensed property manager and, when needed, a licensed attorney or accountant in the area where the property is located.
No guarantees, estimates, or promises
Any discussion of fees, timelines, vacancy, rent levels, repairs, or operations is for general education only. For example, some markets may see monthly management fees around 8-12% of collected rent, leasing fees around 50-100% of one month's rent, plus possible renewal, setup, inspection, or maintenance coordination charges. These are ranges, not quotes.
The real number depends on the market, property type, unit condition, service level, and local labor costs. We do not promise a specific fee, manager, rent amount, occupancy level, leasing timeline, or investment result.
What we collect
To help with a match, we collect basic contact and property-intent details only: name, phone number, optional email, your role, property type, unit count, city, ZIP code, and preferred language.
We do not ask for Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, owner financial statements, or tenant background-check data through this matching service. For more detail, see our Privacy Policy and Terms.
Fair housing and screening
Any information on tenant screening or leasing should be understood through fair-housing rules and local law. Screening standards should be lawful, documented, and applied consistently to every applicant.
Owners and managers should never use screening or marketing language that excludes or steers people based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. Local laws may add more protected classes, so confirm requirements in your area.
Verify before you sign
Before hiring a property manager, verify the company's license if your state requires one, confirm insurance, and ask for references. Read the management agreement carefully and get all fees, responsibilities, and approval limits in writing.
Common red flags include vague or hidden fees, undisclosed maintenance markups, no written management agreement, no trust accounting, no license where one is required, and pressure to sign immediately. If you have questions about this disclaimer or our service, contact us.
