For owners

Keep your property. Keep your neighborhood. Keep your peace of mind.

Kinship works with property owners who want management that protects your home, your tenants, and the character of the place you live in.

Who this is for

Kinship is a good fit if:

You inherited a family home and need to rent part of it to hold onto it.
You're a homeowner renting out a room, an ADU, or a unit of a duplex.
You own one or a few small buildings and want them cared for.
Rising costs are squeezing you, and you're worried about being pushed out of a neighborhood you love.
You're already renting out a place but want tenants to sublet without the stress landing on you.
You care who your tenants are, and you want them treated well.

Two ways to work with us

You don't have to hand over the keys to get help.

Full property management

We take over rent collection, maintenance coordination, tenant communication, and sublease handling. You get a steady deposit and almost no stress.

Co-tenant partnership

Not ready for a full contract? We can join your existing tenants' lease as a co-tenant, coordinating subleasing, repairs, and rent reliability from inside the household while you stay in the driver's seat.

What you get

Steady rent, paid on time

Rent collection, payment reminders, utility distribution, and the awkward conversations. Handled.

Better-cared-for properties

We teach tenants to handle small repairs themselves, which means less wear and tear and tenants who feel real ownership of where they live.

Sublease protection

Vetting, paperwork, and financial protection so you don't absorb the risk.

Honest pricing

Transparent fees designed so you stay in your home or property, not so we grow rich off you.

Only people you trust at your door

We never send an unknown contractor. Tenants learn to handle the small stuff themselves, and anything bigger goes only to people you know and approve. When a tenant hits a rough patch, we connect them to resources like RAFT before it becomes your problem.

Help staying put

If you're holding onto a home as costs rise, renting part of it shouldn't mean losing control of it. We help you stay, and help your neighborhood stay intact.

The problems you've already lived through

If you've rented to tenants before, you know exactly how it goes wrong. Here's what each of those looks like with Kinship in the picture.

Then: rent arrives late, or you're the one chasing it.

With Kinship: we run collection and reminders, and if a tenant hits a rough month we connect them to help before it becomes your problem.

Then: you find out about damage or clutter months later, on a visit.

With Kinship: your lead tenant keeps a date-stamped status board — basement, doors, bins, exits — that you can check any morning.

Then: a small tension with tenants grows in silence until it's a fight.

With Kinship: the Ambassadors Program trains your tenants in communication and upkeep, and we mediate early, while things are still small.

Then: a subletter you never met stops paying, and it lands on you.

With Kinship: we vet, paper, and financially back every sublease. The risk stops with us.

Then: fixing anything means letting strangers into your building.

With Kinship: your tenants are trained to handle the small repairs themselves, and anything bigger is done only by people you know and approve. No surprise contractors, ever.

Your dashboard

See your property's status any morning, without a phone call.

Invited owners get a private dashboard: a living checklist of the things you care about, kept current by your lead tenant, with a note and an automatic date on every update. Repairs beyond routine upkeep wait in an approvals queue until you say yes — one click, your choice of who does the work. Everything is asynchronous: no calls, no meetings unless you ask, and nothing that needs an answer today.

What we ask of you

Charge fair, stable rent (we'll help you figure out what that means). Keep the property a healthy, safe place to live. Treat your tenants as neighbors, not line items.

In exchange, we handle almost everything else.
