We are committed to keeping you informed and working together to make your rental property the best it can be.
There are three main types: the property manager and maintenance technician.
While this can be a lengthy process, true professionals are able to fix the leak in a matter of hours or days. They also have the ability to leverage the skills of local plumbers and build relationships with them.
Winter season can bring with it difficult conditions for rental properties. Heating costs increase, systems fail and hazards emerge. Tenants will need to call you for assistance. You may also be responsible for the worst maintenance or repair losses.
Property managers are responsible for creating an environment people love to live and visit. This includes making sure that the property is clean and all appliances work properly. The property manager assigns janitors to clean the property on a regular basis. The manager assigns work requests by tenants and guests to the maintenance technician in order to ensure customer satisfaction. The technician will complete the job faster.
From collecting rent to facilitating repairs, as a property manager, you juggle a lot when it comes to managing your business operations. Whether you oversee multifamily apartment buildings or single-family homes, it’s essential to maintain your properties if you want to keep your property values up and your residents safe and satisfied.
Aside from seasonal maintenance, there are other regular actions that can be taken to protect residents and properties.
There are many moving parts in maintenance. It's important to ensure that tasks are done in a certain order and that there is little lag. Automated workflows and task-management systems can help you keep everything on track.
One tenant may notice a leak in the ceiling of their apartment. He or she submits a request for maintenance through a portal. The request is reported to the property manager. He assigns the technician. After the technician finds a temporary solution they contact a plumber who can fix the problem permanently.
Tenants may neglect winter property maintenance. You can encourage tenants to take care by simply sharing this information with them via a reminder sent through your property management platform communications system. They can become a liability and cause contractor visits.
Being as specific as possible about the responsibilities and unique challenges of maintaining your properties will allow you to find the most suitable employee possible. Furthermore, finding a technician with specific relevant experience for your properties’ unique requirements decreases training cost and time.
While some routines can be used to maintain properties, most of the time they are reactive. Routine maintenance involves regular cleaning and building walkthroughs. Reactive maintenance covers repairs for drain clogs and appliance failures as well as flooding.
How can owners be happy? Many unexpected repairs are rare. It is easier to avoid emergency repairs when properties are well maintained. Owners are able to budget for routine upkeep and won't have need to dip into the emergency reserve fund for more expensive repairs. You can equip your units with smart home technology that will make them more efficient and spot problems quickly. This will add value to your renters.
Your maintenance operations have many moving parts, and it’s essential that tasks are completed in a specific order and that lag time is minimal. Having a system with automated workflows and task management rather than needing to manually input information or monitor processes can make it easier to keep things on track.
