What does apartment and multifamily property management include?

Apartment and multifamily property management at Uplift covers leasing every unit, collecting rent, coordinating maintenance and capital projects, inspecting units, handling resident relations, and reporting to owners each month. Uplift manages small multifamily buildings and apartment communities across San Diego County and the Temecula Valley, and staffs on-site managers at communities including Bonita Court, Pepper Creek, Villa Del Cerro, and Vista Bonita.

• Leasing: unit photos, pricing based on local comparables, advertising on 50+ rental sites, showing access 7 days a week, and tenant and pet screening.
• Rent and accounting: online rent collection, utility coordination, vendor payments, and online monthly and annual financial statements.
• Maintenance: troubleshooting with residents, licensed and insured vendors, in-house maintenance through JMC San Diego, and 24/7 emergency response.
• Residents: move-in and move-out inspections, renewals, notices, and conflict resolution.

How much does multifamily property management cost?

For buildings with 5 to 15 units, Uplift charges 6% of collected rent each month, with a $125 minimum per unit. A $395 tenant placement fee applies when a new resident signs, and a $99 tenant retention fee applies each year at renewal. Maintenance coordination and project management are included, and vendor invoices are not marked up. For other building sizes, contact us for a quote. Every fee is listed on our Services & Pricing page.

Do you provide on-site managers?

Yes. Uplift employs on-site property managers at apartment communities it manages, including Bonita Court, Pepper Creek, Villa Del Cerro, and Vista Bonita. Whether your building needs on-site staff depends on its size and resident needs, which we review during the property consultation.

How do you keep units occupied?

Uplift prices each unit to current local rents, markets it on 50+ rental sites, and starts renewal conversations before leases end. Across its portfolio, PropertyManagement.com verified 92.9% occupancy, an 85.4% lease renewal rate, and a 4-day median repair time. Results for any one building depend on its condition, location, and rents.

How are repairs and capital projects handled?

Routine repairs are completed under your maintenance limit and shown on your monthly statement; anything above the limit needs your approval first, except emergencies causing active damage. Larger projects such as unit turns and renovations are coordinated at no extra management fee. See how Uplift handles maintenance.
