Add A Degree of Separation from Tenants
For many property owners, dealing with tenants is one of the more critical as well as stressful aspects of managing a property. According to BusinessWire, difficult and late-paying tenants are a landlord’s second-biggest pain point, with maintenance requests as the biggest source of stress. A full 60% of property owners reported they hired a property manager for these reasons alone.
From conducting background checks and collecting rent to handling tenants’ maintenance issues and emergencies, a property management company adds a degree of separation between landlords and their tenants. An added bonus? Project managers who are quick to respond and value customer service directly impact and improve tenants’ satisfaction with their rental experience.
Market Your Rental
If you’ve ever wondered which platform or method would be best to advertise your rental property, both to secure the right tenant and achieve the earning potential you want, marketing is a particular area of expertise for a property manager.
Property managers know the platforms that are best for marketing residential, office, industrial, and retail rentals. They also are skilled at drafting copy for the advertisements, directing and selecting high-quality photos to showcase the property, and – in most cases – fielding any inquiries and conducting in-person tours.
Oversee Landlord-Tenant Laws & Liabilities
Commercial real estate is an entire world in and of itself, and with that comes a plethora of responsibilities and laws that you must uphold as a landlord. There are laws about fair housing, evicting tenants, business operations, accounting & taxes, and much more.
Property managers understand the seriousness of upholding landlord-tenant and property laws, and they can be held responsible if they fail to follow these laws themselves. Hiring a property manager that is local to the rental property is also incredibly important for landlords, as states and some counties differ in the intricacies of their commercial property laws.
