Rental Property Management for Landlords
Leasing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and reporting for Greater Boston rental owners. New landlord clients can ask about Green Ocean’s Welcome Suite; offer eligibility and guarantee terms should be confirmed in your management agreement.
What Welcome Suite support can new clients discuss?
Ask about make-ready and maintenance support through our affiliated team at Pro Services Boston, with qualified vendors where needed. Owners can also arrange whole-home maid service and professional carpet cleaning between tenants through our cleaning services benefit.
Your proposal should identify any Welcome Suite benefits, eligibility and applicable charges.

What does rental property management include?
Green Ocean Property Management supports Greater Boston landlords with leasing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, and owner reporting. The management proposal sets out the services, fees, and responsibilities for your property.
Which day-to-day tasks can you hand over?
We coordinate rental marketing, showings, application processing, tenant screening, and lease paperwork. During the tenancy, our team tracks rent payments, handles resident communication, coordinates maintenance, and provides owner statements. Repair scope and authorization should be agreed with the owner.
How do you start or switch management?
Share the property address, number of units, current occupancy, lease dates, and the services you need. We can discuss a proposal and the records needed to start management.
If you are switching managers, review your existing agreement’s notice requirements before giving notice. Organize leases, tenant balances, keys, vendor contacts, and maintenance records for the handoff. Obtain legal advice if termination rights or outstanding funds are disputed.

Rental Property Management Questions
Do you manage individual condo rentals as well as multifamily properties?
Yes. Rental management supports the owner of a rented unit, single-family home, or multifamily property. Boards responsible for a building’s shared finances and common areas should review our condo and HOA association management instead.
What should I ask about fees before signing?
Confirm the monthly management fee and any leasing, renewal, setup, maintenance, or other charges. Ask when each fee applies and which services are included. The written proposal and management agreement should reflect your property’s scope.
How is the asking rent decided?
Discuss comparable available rentals, property condition, layout, location, amenities, and lease timing. A rental assessment is specific to the property; occupancy and rental income cannot be guaranteed.
How do I request a proposal?
Contact Green Ocean about rental management with the property address, unit count, occupancy, and the support you need. We will discuss the next steps and requested scope.
