Property Management Benefits
InfoLink Resident Screening Service The surest way to protect your rental investment is to carefully screen your prospective residents. InfoLink provides comprehensive, easy-to-read credit reports, unlawful detainers, and background checks at discounted rates for SDCAA members. Upon activation of your screening account, you may access background information on your prospective tenants online, by fax, or by phone to make an informed decision.
Operational Advice Your membership includes free, unlimited counseling calls for assistance in all aspects of your rental business.
The SDCAA housing counselor is not an attorney but will give operational advice and direct SDCAA members to California Civil Code sections pertaining to landlord/tenant law and will assist in explaining the proper usage of our rental forms. You are advised to consult with an attorney before taking any action. SDCAA member attorney referrals are available upon request.
Professional Development Classes and Seminars To help keep pace with the rapid changes in rental housing, the SDCAA provides numerous educational opportunities, including the Certified Apartment Manager (CAM) designation series. These seminars will give your staff the skills necessary to operate rental property in the most independent and efficient manner and help show your owners your commitment to being the best in the business!
