We handle everything for you
Complete Philadelphia rental license support from start to finish
Address-based eligibility check
We confirm your property is within Philadelphia city limits and determine whether a rental license is required or if an exemption applies.
Violation status check + 'what's blocking approval' report
We check for open violations that could block license issuance and help identify what needs to be resolved before filing.
Tax account + CAL/Activity License setup
We ensure your Philadelphia tax account is compliant and help obtain the Commercial Activity License (CAL) or Activity License Number required before submitting the rental license application in eCLIPSE.
Lead certification guidance and tracking
We coordinate lead-safe or lead-free certification (or exemption documentation), which is a major gatekeeper for both licensing and leasing in Philadelphia, especially for pre-1978 properties.
eCLIPSE filing support
We handle the eCLIPSE portal filing process, submitting all required documents, proof of ownership, agent details, lead documentation, and attestations on your behalf.
Renewal tracking + Suitability Certificate workflow
We track license renewals and help ensure you provide Certificates of Rental Suitability to tenants before move-in (required, no fee, obtained through eCLIPSE).
Legal occupancy verification
We help confirm lawful occupancy status and ensure all required approvals are in place before filing.
