Top 10 Resources for Rental Property Owners in PA (2025)

By Dave Fleming, January 24, 2021. Updated January 19, 2025.
#1 MilitaryByOwner.com Property Management Resources
While you may be using a property management company for your rental, the resources on this page are great information for rental owners. Their resources include landlord basics, how to hire a manager, tenant screening tips, and an e-book guiding you through common issues when renting.
#2 Avail's article on electronic rent collection
Many owner managed rentals collect rent via PayPal or Venmo without realizing business transactions carry a 3% fee as of the writing of this article. While you may be unintentionally getting away without paying the fee, there's always a chance your account will be flagged, and you'll be hit with a huge bill for back due fee collection.
#3 RentPrep.com 
RentPrep has been one of my favorite resources for managing rental properties. They've been progressive and at the forefront of the changing world of everything thanks to tech innovation. Check out their Podcast, newsletter, or Facebook Group which has become invaluable to me as a manager.
#4 Zillow's How to Manage a Rental Property
This article focuses on each party's obligations and record keeping.
#5 Zillow's Rentals Resource Center
Albeit a bit overly focused on Zillow's features and offerings, there is still a good bit of useful information gathered here.
#6 AllPropertyManagement Resources
Another useful spot to find landlord and owner resources for your rental property.
#7 Avail's PA Tenant Landlord Law
A short and sweet version of the most important Pennyslvania laws that every landlord must know!
#8 Landlordology's The Landlord Toolbox
More tools for your landlord toolbox sponsored by Cozy.co, my favorite rent collection website.
#9 MilitaryByOwner.com Person Change of Station (PCS) Checklist
Specifically for military rentals, this is a great checklist to prepare for PCS. This is great info for you and your tenants!
#10 MySmartMove's 64 Essential Online Resources for Landlords
An exhaustive collection of articles and tools to help any landlord, owner, or manager if you want to dig deep.
Some local honorable mentions:
  • Should I Rent or Sell My Home?
