For property managers and rental owners

Every home gets its own number.

You manage people. We handle the consumables nobody in a rental ever gets to — softener salt, HVAC filters, smoke alarm batteries, bulbs, the vents. There's no per-door rate card: each home is quoted on what it is and where it sits.

No minimum door count · No contract · Four visits a year

Getting started

Three steps, whatever the door count

Same four visits a year as a single home. What changes is that the list, the billing and the paperwork arrive in one piece instead of one per house.

Step 01

Send the list

Addresses, and for each one who lets us in and who gets billed. The form below takes it, or text it over. That's the whole intake — no portal to populate, no onboarding call series.

Step 02

We survey every address

The first visit to any house is the inventory: every return and filter size, every detector and its date, fixture heights, brine tank or none, the fridge and whose it is, how the dryer vent runs. That inventory is what the quote for that address is built from — nothing is priced before we've seen it.

Step 03

Then it just runs

We notify the occupant the day before and again when we're on the way, and send a dated record per address after every visit. Which day a given house falls on is ours to work out, not yours to manage.

How we quote it

Three things set the number

There's no rate card on this page on purpose. A per-door figure printed here would be a guess, and you'd be right not to trust it. These are what actually move it.

01

Volume

How many doors you're handing over. A portfolio absorbs the fixed cost of a stop far better than a single house does, and the more of the list we're carrying for you the better the per-home number gets.

02

Proximity

How close your homes sit to each other, and to the rest of what we already service that week. Six houses inside a few square miles is a materially cheaper day than six spread across the valley, and that difference belongs in your quote rather than in our margin.

03

Needs

What's actually in each house — brine tank or none, how many returns, whose fridge, how the vents run. This is the part the survey settles, and it's why two homes on the same street can land on different numbers.

You get one quote covering the portfolio with the per-address lines visible, so an owner can see what their own house costs. Nothing is priced before the survey, and nothing gets added to an invoice after the fact without being quoted first.

Addresses and who lets us in is enough to get a number back

Why the price moves

No two of these houses are the same

"Needs" is the part with the most moving pieces, so here it is in full. Six things decide what a given address is actually asking for.

Softener salt draw

How much a house pulls depends on tank size, how many people are in it and how much water goes through. We bring what the tank takes and leave it at the fill line every visit, and we log the level so a change in usage shows up early rather than as a softener that quietly stopped working.

Returns and filter sizes

Three filters a visit covers most floor plans. Some run one return, some run four, and the upstairs one is routinely the filter nobody knew about. We count them, record every size and MERV, and stock that address specifically.

Whose refrigerator it is

If the appliance is the owner's, the water and air filters go on the quote every six months and we'll track the part numbers. If the tenant brought their own, it comes off — nobody should pay to maintain a fridge that leaves at the end of the lease.

The dryer vent run

A short run out the side of the house and a long one through a ceiling are not the same clean-out. Once a year either way, and on a rental it's the one line item most worth having dated in writing.

Ceilings and fixtures

Two-story entries, vaulted great rooms and recessed cans decide whether a bulb is a five-minute job or a ladder job. Tenants don't change those ones. We carry the ladder.

Detectors and their dates

Every detector counted, batteries done once a year, and the manufacture date read off each unit — so you know which houses are approaching ten years before a tenant tells you something is chirping.

Anything unusual — a second softener, a casita, a filter size nobody stocks — gets quoted at the survey rather than turning up on an invoice later.

The reason this exists

The lease says the tenant does it

And mostly they don't.

Nobody is reading a lease clause about a 16x25 in month seven. It isn't malice — a filter is invisible until the coil isn't, and a brine tank is invisible until the water goes hard. The clause transfers the blame, not the work.

Turnover resets everything.

Each new tenant is a person who doesn't know where the brine tank is, how high the entry fixture is, or that the fridge has a filter at all. The equipment's schedule doesn't restart with the lease. Ours doesn't either.

You find out at the walk-through.

Deferred consumables surface as a loaded coil, a dryer needing two cycles, a softener that quietly stopped softening — usually mid deposit dispute. A dated record per visit makes that a much shorter conversation.

Money, access and scope

The parts you'll actually ask about

Who gets billed

Bill the management company and let it sit inside what you already invoice, or bill each owner directly on their own card. It can differ address to address — one list, one schedule, whatever billing arrangement each owner prefers underneath it.

Passing it through to the tenant

Plenty of owners recover it. A flat monthly line on the lease — a filter and maintenance service, named as what it is — set at or above what that home is quoted. The tenant stops being nominally responsible for a chore they were never doing, the owner's equipment actually gets maintained, and the pass-through covers the bill.

Worth saying plainly

How you paper that with a lease or an addendum is between you, the owner and your counsel. We're not attorneys, we don't draft lease language, and we won't tell you what a Nevada lease can and can't recover.

Access

Lockbox, garage code, or the tenant lets us in — whichever you already use. We notify the occupant the day before and again when we're on the way, so nobody with a key turns up unannounced at an occupied house. A qualified handyperson each visit, in uniform, with photo identification. Background checked, insured and bonded.

If someone won't let us in, we don't argue it at the door. You get told the same day and we pick the address up on the next pass.

What lands after each cycle

A dated record per address — what was replaced, photographs of the equipment, and a note on anything we saw that you'd want to know. A detector coming up on its expiry date, a filter loading faster than it should, a fill line that stopped returning to the same mark. On a rental those notes are the early warning you don't otherwise get, because the person living there isn't looking.

Where our scope stops

We are not a maintenance vendor. We don't take work orders, we don't do turns, we don't diagnose and we don't repair. When something needs a licensed plumber, HVAC tech or electrician, you get a photograph, a plain description of what we saw and the name of someone licensed. We don't quote that work, we don't do it and we don't take a cut of it.

Which means we don't replace your handyman or your trades list. We take the recurring, predictable, always-postponed items off it so what's left is the work that genuinely needs a callout.

How the visits get scheduled

Not around you, and we'd rather say that than imply otherwise. Each home has its own service due dates, and we route against those and against where every other home in our portfolio sits — so a technician works a tight radius on any given day instead of crossing the valley between two of your addresses.

That's a cost decision before it's anything else. Windshield time is the expensive part of this business, and keeping it down is a large part of why proximity moves your quote. The upshot for you is that your houses may well be serviced on different days from each other, and you'll know which day each one is a day ahead.

Why this isn't one of the residential plans

The Autopilot plans elsewhere on this site are built for someone living in the house — a person who notices the water going hard and wants the vacuum dealt with. A rental owner isn't carrying that list. The equipment and the liability are yours, the day-to-day isn't, and nobody is calling us because a hallway bulb went out. So a portfolio is quoted on its own terms rather than sold a tier off the homeowner menu.

No contract on any of it. One phone call cancels, per address — drop a house when it sells and leave the rest running.

If the tenant would rather carry it themselves

Some do, once they realise the lease already put it on them. There's a plan sold directly to tenants covering the consumables a standard lease assigns to them — filters, batteries, bulbs and the vents — billed to them rather than to you or the owner. The softener salt and the fridge filters stay off it, because that equipment is the owner's. Autopilot Renter, for renters. It isn't a substitute for putting a portfolio on one schedule, but it's worth knowing about when a tenant asks.

You don't have to start with all of them

Most portfolios start with the addresses that generate the most calls — the ones with softeners, the ones with the entry fixture nobody can reach, the ones where the last three tenants each said the AC wasn't keeping up. Add the rest at renewal once you've seen a cycle run.

Before you call

Questions managers ask

How many homes do I need for this to work?

There's no minimum. Two addresses is enough to be worth putting on one schedule, and the survey works the same way whether it's two or forty.

Can you bill the owner directly instead of us?

Yes, and it can differ address to address. Some owners want it on their own card, some want it inside what you already bill them. Tell us which per property and that is how it runs.

What happens if the tenant will not let us in?

We don't chase tenants. We note the address, tell you the same day, and pick it up on the next pass or whenever you've cleared it — access is a relationship you hold, not one we should be negotiating over the doorstep.

Do you handle turns and make-readies?

No. A turn is cleaning and repair work and neither is ours. We do a short list of consumable jobs on a schedule, which is the part of a turn that shouldn't have been left to the turn in the first place.

What about a refrigerator the tenant brought with them?

It comes off that home's quote. We record whose appliance is whose at the survey — an owner shouldn't be paying to maintain a fridge that leaves at the end of the lease.

Can I pick which day you come to a particular house?

Not usually, and it's fairer to say so. We route on each home's service due dates and on where the rest of the portfolio sits that week, so a technician stays inside a small radius instead of crossing the valley. That routing is a large part of what makes the quote what it is. You get a day's notice per address, and if a house genuinely has to be worked around, tell us and we'll try.

Why is there no price on this page?

Because a number printed here would be a guess, and you would be right not to trust it. Three things move it: how many doors you have, how close they sit to each other, and what is actually in each house. Send the addresses and we will price it off those rather than off a menu.

Will every home in my portfolio cost the same?

Usually not, and that is the point. A single-story with no brine tank is not the same job as a two-story with a softener and a vaulted entry. You get one quote covering the portfolio with the per-address lines visible, so an owner can see what their own house costs.
