As a Landlord or Property Manager, it’s important to find a balance between responsible without micromanaging your tenants, so that no one is overstepping their boundaries. A successful relationship between Property Manager and Tenant is where everybody feels comfortable and secure.
Attend to maintenance issues promptly
Carrying out maintenance issues is the responsibility of the Landlord. Common issues that require prompt response include broken hot water systems, cooktops or air-conditioners and blocked drains and gutters. Keeping Tenants informed of progress helps ease stress while a follow-up call after repairs are made will develop trust.
Conduct regular inspections
Routine inspections are a good time for you to get ahead of maintenance issues. Inspections also indicate that you take an active interest in the condition of your property.
Be positive
This includes being careful and considerate in communicating with your tenants. Listen and be responsive. If you are to reject any requests made by tenants, always provide sound reasons and in writing. When maintenance and repair works need to be made, try to work with your tenant’s schedule.
Consider the tenant’s needs
When making decisions, always keep your tenant in mind. If you’re planning to sell your property, determine what you plan to do with your tenant’s lease as well. When the time for a rent increase arrives, inform your tenant in a timely fashion.
Be realistic
Accidents happen even with the best tenants. However, a good Landlord or Property Manager will have tailored landlord insurance in preparation of any unforeseen events.
