Services
Property Management
Our property management service handles all aspects of rental property operations, from tenant acquisition and lease agreements to maintenance oversight and financial reporting. We conduct thorough tenant background checks, coordinate property showings, and manage repair requests through trusted contractors. Monthly accounting statements and direct deposit payments ensure owners receive timely financial updates while maintaining compliance with local housing regulations.
Tenant Screening
We implement comprehensive tenant screening that includes credit history verification, employment confirmation, multi-state eviction records checks, and current residence inspections. This rigorous process helps property owners select reliable tenants while adhering to fair housing laws. Our screening reports provide actionable insights to minimize rental risks and ensure long-term tenancy stability for San Diego County properties.
Maintenance Coordination
Our maintenance coordination covers emergency repairs and routine property upkeep through a network of trusted professionals including plumbers, roofers, and landscapers. We prioritize 24/7 emergency response for critical issues while managing regular maintenance requests through a structured approval process. Property inspections and reserve fund management help maintain asset value across our managed portfolio in eastern and southern San Diego County.
Online Rent Payment
Our secure online payment portal enables tenants to pay rent electronically while allowing owners to track transactions and access payment history. The system automates late fee calculations and payment reminders, reducing administrative burdens. Owners receive timely monthly distributions through direct deposit, with itemized reports detailing any deductions for repairs or maintenance expenses.
Eviction Assistance
We provide eviction assistance through proper legal documentation and court representation when necessary. Our process begins with three-day notice preparations for rent delinquency and progresses to full legal proceedings if required. We act as property owners' representatives throughout the eviction process while maintaining strict compliance with California landlord-tenant laws and fair housing regulations in San Diego County.

We have been happy with MTM for 23 years. We wouldnt have stayed so long if we had not been treated well. In the end they proved their worth by helping us through a tough situation. Kudos to Dave and Stacy.

The crew at MTM were great. I couldn't ask for better people to manage our rental home. They seem to always have our back when problems arrived. And we're not bothersome like some of the other property management companies. I think they were one of the best companies I've worked with. I recommend them to all other people thinking of renting a house thank you Cody and David Andrew.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Great property management! We were coming up to our 4th year as tenants, but we recently relocated to a different state. The entire team are professional, friendly, and responsive. They have diverse property portfolio which are all great value especially in San Diego. The only downside are no pets allowed, however that is the decision of the landlord rather than theirs. In addition their user-friendly website made it easy to login account, pay rent or view billing history, and submit maintenance requests. Definitely 5/5 stars!
