Leasing Your Home Shouldn't Feel Like a Second Job.
We screen, place, and guarantee tenants for Northern Virginia landlords — so you don't have to. 2,000+ placed. Less than 1% eviction rate.
Vacancy Is Expensive.
A Bad Tenant Is Worse.
Every empty week costs hundreds — but filling fast creates its own risk. One bad tenant can cost $5,000 to $15,000 in lost rent, legal fees, and repairs.
Most Northern Virginia landlords face the same decision: spend nights and weekends managing it yourself, or hand over 8–10% of your rent to a traditional property manager who offers no guarantee on the tenant they place.
Either way, the risk stays with you — and when something goes wrong, the cost is yours. Missed rent, lease violations, property damage, and eviction filings add up fast — whether you're in Arlington, McLean, Reston, or anywhere across Northern Virginia.
There is a third option.

What Other Landlords Say.
Sarah T.
“So happy we decided to go with Flat Fee Landlord to lease our home. We were not having any luck selling and I reached out to Mo who answered all of my questions with super quick responses. Once we decided to move forward, they had all paperwork done, pictures completed and our home listed for lease within a few days and a few days later, had a tenant.”
David K.
“Always immediate callback and great online portal that lets me check on my house, account, and maintenance.”
Michael R.
“I’m not sure if signing up and starting the rental process of our house with Flat Fee could have been easier. All within a week of signing the contract, I was contacted by the realtor, had pictures done, had 2 showings, and a potential tenant. Our realtor has been great to work with. Highly recommend him and Flat Fee to anyone looking to rent out their house.”
Jennifer L.
