What are the steps with doing rental in California

Question

Hello! What are the steps for Realtors when doing rentals, working with rental listing agents and management companies in Southern California? I don't need to know anything other than the steps. What forms to use, when to use them, and what forms to submit to get paid? When I reach out to a rental listing agent or management company, what should the conversation consist of if I want to post one of their listings? Do I send the client (Potential tenant) some type of agreement to find them a property to rent? Do I handle their leasing application, or should the potential tenant fill out the application through the listing agent or management companies' website? Is it necessary for me to contract an escrow officer for the potential tenant's down payment if approved? Thank you in advance!

@Natasha Robinson are you a licensed Real Estate agent working for a brokerage?  If so, you can get your questions answered there?  If not reach back out.

Usually the rental listing agent is responsible for the lease agreement. As the agent representing the tenant you are responsible for vetting your client for items like credit score, renting history, income, and bank statements.

@Natasha Robinson You should really speak to your brokerage about these types of questions. If they aren’t helping you with simple things like this you need to switch to a brokerage that will train you. Training and learning is the most important thing for new agents.
