Tenant Placement in San Antonio
We market the home, screen applicants and sign a Texas lease. You manage from there.
Leasing Help Without Full Management
Tenant placement in San Antonio is for owners who want a professional to find the tenant and are happy to manage the home themselves after move-in. Harvest Real Estate Property Management handles the part of landlording that carries the most risk: setting the rent, marketing the home, showing it, screening applicants and signing the lease. Once the tenant has the keys, the property is yours to run.
It suits an owner who lives nearby, has a handyman they trust, and wants to collect rent directly, but does not want to guess at the rent or screen strangers alone.

What Placement Includes
- Rent pricing from comparable rentals near your home, the same analysis we run for every free rental analysis.
- Make-ready advice on what to fix or clean before the home hits the market, because condition sets both the rent and the kind of applicant you attract.
- Marketing and showings so the home is seen and shown without you taking calls from every inquiry.
- Screening against written criteria applied the same way to every applicant.
- The lease, on the Texas REALTORS® residential lease form, signed by you and the tenant, with the home's condition documented in a photo inspection at move-in.
Why Screening Is Where Owners Get Hurt
A bad placement costs an owner far more than a placement fee. Missed rent, damage beyond the deposit and an eviction can each wipe out months of income. A careful screen looks at whether an applicant can afford the rent and how they have handled past rentals, and it does so the same way for everyone.
That consistency matters legally too. Fair Housing law applies to every rental, and screening that changes from one applicant to the next is how well-meaning owners end up with a complaint. Written criteria, applied evenly, protect the owner and give every applicant a fair answer.
After Move-In
Once the lease is signed, you hold the security deposit and you are responsible for repairs, rent collection and the move-out accounting. Texas gives a landlord 30 days after the tenant surrenders the home to refund the deposit or provide an itemized list of deductions, and the move-in photos from placement are what make that list stand up.
If managing turns out to be more than you want, the home can move to full-service management at any point in the lease.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tenant placement cost?
Tenant placement on its own is priced by quote. Call 210-889-7495 or send a message with the property address. With full-service management, the leasing fee is 50% of one month's rent.
Who holds the security deposit with tenant placement?
You do. With placement only, the owner holds the deposit and handles the move-out accounting, which Texas requires within 30 days after the tenant surrenders the home.
Can I switch to full-service management later?
Yes. A home placed by Harvest can move to full-service management at any point in the lease.
