What should owners know about leasing and move in?
Leasing and Move In helps rental owners make a clearer decision about leasing, tenant screening, cash flow, risk and long-term property performance. The best answer depends on the property, local demand, rent readiness, owner goals, legal requirements and the cost of vacancy or mistakes.

- Measure the issue in dollars and time, including vacancy, repairs, leasing delays, compliance risk and management effort.
- Use a documented process so tenant decisions, leasing steps and owner expectations are consistent.
