Your first rental license, done right.
Navigating the L&I system for the first time is where most delays happen. We make sure your first application is flawless.
Before you can legally lease a residential property in Philadelphia, you need a Rental License from License & Inspection (L&I). Getting it right the first time depends on a stack of prerequisites most first-time landlords don't know to check. We handle the whole application: confirming the property's zoning use, verifying the Commercial Activity License and tax status, coordinating lead-safe or lead-free certification, and submitting a complete package to the city.
The result is a clean first submission, fewer back-and-forth requests from the city, and a license in hand so you can start collecting rent legally.
How it works
1. Property review
We confirm zoning use, ownership, and tax standing, and flag anything that would stall an application before it's filed.
2. Certifications
We coordinate the lead certification and any prerequisite inspections with trusted, certified partners.
3. Submission
We assemble and file the complete application with L&I and track it through to approval.
4. License in hand
You get your active rental license and a clear record of everything filed on your behalf.
