Product · In private pilot

An AI operations assistant for small California landlords

For landlords with 1 to 20 units. It picks up after the lease is signed and works alongside the listing and rent tools you already use. It drafts, triages and reminds. You approve every binding action.

What it handles after the lease is signed

Tenant text & email line

One number and one address for your tenants. No app to download. Routine questions get answered from your lease and your policies; anything else comes to you.

Maintenance triage, one-tap approval

Tenants report issues with photos. The assistant asks the right follow-up questions, flags emergencies, and brings you a clear decision to approve.

California compliance guardrails

Checks for rent-increase caps, security-deposit rules and notice requirements before anything goes out, so you catch problems early.

Move-in / move-out photo evidence

Guided, time-stamped photo sets at move-in and move-out, organized for when you need them.

Renewals

Reminders ahead of lease end, with renewal options prepared for you to review and approve.

Rent watchdog

Keeps track of expected vs. received rent and tells you when something does not look right.

Schedule E books

Income and expenses organized by property and ready for your tax preparer.

You stay in charge

This is software that helps you manage your own rentals. It is not a property manager, broker or law firm.

  • You approve every binding action: repairs, notices, renewals and anything that costs money.
  • You set the policies: quiet hours, preferred vendors, and which topics always come to you.
  • Every message and approval is kept in a record you can export.

What it never does

  • Never holds rent or security deposits.
  • Never negotiates leases.
  • Never screens rental applicants.
  • Never takes a binding action without your approval.

How the pilot works

  1. Join the waitlist. Tell us where your rentals are and how many units you have.
  2. Set up your properties. Add your signed lease and set your policies.
  3. Let tenants reach one line. Tenants text or email; you approve decisions from your phone.

Join the waitlist

We are starting with a small private pilot of California landlords with 1 to 20 units. The button opens an email to us; this site does not collect form data.

Questions

Do I have to switch from the listing or rent tools I use now?

No. The assistant is designed to work alongside the listing and rent-collection tools you already use. KESLEN is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any listing platform.

Do my tenants need to download an app?

No. Tenants use regular text messages and email.

Is this legal advice?

No. The compliance guardrails are checks and reminders based on California rules. They are not legal advice, and you remain responsible for your decisions. Consult an attorney for legal questions.

What does it cost?

Pricing is not final.

Where is it available?

California only, to start.
