Anyone who has rented in Los Angeles knows the usual problems: a repair request that goes unanswered, a move-in with no clear steps, a landlord who is hard to reach. Studio B is a Los Angeles property management company set up to avoid those problems. We manage residential and commercial properties in Downtown LA (DTLA), Mid-City and West Adams. We handle the day-to-day work for owners and stay in touch with the residents who live in the properties.
Here is how that works at the four points where management either holds up or doesn’t: repairs, move-in, flexible stays and move-out. Owners get their own section below.
Repairs: how maintenance requests are handled
When a resident reports a problem, whether it’s a leaking faucet, a broken appliance or something bigger, we coordinate the vendor and keep the resident updated until the work is finished. We aim to acknowledge every request within 24 hours. After the repair, we follow up to confirm the problem is actually solved.
Residents can report issues through our contact page or by calling 424-367-3670. For the full process, see How Studio B Manages Tenant Problems.
Move-in: what residents get before they get the keys
- A walkthrough of the lease, so nothing in it is a surprise
- Digital signing
- A move-in checklist
- Smart lock setup, in units that have one
- One point of contact at Studio B from the first day
Still deciding on a place? Read our neighborhood checks to make before signing a lease and how to read a floor plan before you tour. After move-in, The First 30 Days in a New Rental covers the first month. You can browse available units any time.
Furnished stays of one to six months
Alongside standard long-term leases, we manage furnished mid-term rentals of one to six months. They suit travel nurses and other healthcare workers, consultants, and anyone relocating who needs a base while they look for something longer-term. Depending on the property, that can include Wi-Fi, kitchen essentials, beds and laundry access, so check each listing for exactly what’s included. Our post on furnished rooms in Los Angeles explains the room option.
For owners: what we handle
We manage residential properties, including duplexes, fourplexes, ADUs and single-family rentals, as well as commercial spaces. Whether you own one unit or a mixed portfolio, the process is the same:
- Leasing and tenant screening
- Rent collection and lease renewals
- Maintenance coordination, so you aren’t chasing vendors yourself
- Monthly owner reporting
- A single point of contact for questions

Move-out
We give residents clear move-out instructions and a timeline, do a walk-through with written documentation, and process the security deposit according to the lease and California rules.
