VENDOR VETTING AT LULA

At Lula, vendor vetting is a critical part of how we deliver reliable, high-quality maintenance. Our Pro network is carefully curated, and fewer than 15 percent of applicants are accepted.

VETTING REQUIREMENTS

Every Pro must meet the following minimum requirements:

• Active general liability insurance
• Workers’ compensation coverage
• Required trade licenses, where applicable

STEP 1: INITIAL SCREENING

All applicants go through an initial review that includes:

• Application review
• Service vertical and experience validation
• Online reputation and reference checks

STEP 2: SUBJECT MATTER & INTERVIEWS

Qualified applicants move on to deeper evaluation, including:

• Trade-specific competency assessments
• Interviews to evaluate professionalism and communication
• Review of past work and service history

STEP 3: BACKGROUND SCREENING

Before approval, Lula conducts:

• Criminal background checks
• Sex offender registry checks

STEP 4: ONBOARDING & TRAINING

Once approved, Pros are onboarded and trained on:

• Rental property maintenance best practices
• Resident and property manager communication standards
• Documentation and photo requirements
• Lula platform workflows and expectations

ONGOING COMPLIANCE & QUALITY CONTROL

Vendor vetting continues after onboarding:

• Insurance and licensing are monitored year-round
• Coverage lapses are flagged and addressed immediately
• Pro performance is tracked across reliability, quality, pricing, and communication
• Pros who fail to meet standards may be coached, restricted, or removed

Lula’s vendor vetting process is designed to give property managers confidence that every job is handled by a qualified, insured, and reliable professional.

By accepting fewer than 15 percent of applicants, Lula builds a high-performing Pro network that meets both technical and service expectations.

Property managers benefit from:

• Verified insurance, licensing, and compliance
• Background-checked vendors
• Pros trained specifically for rental property environments
• Ongoing credential monitoring
• Continuous performance oversight

This structured, end-to-end vetting approach ensures consistent service quality, reduced risk, and better outcomes across your portfolio.
