Cons:
-Bad Communication: Property Manager(s) & individuals in the office don’t have a good grasp on what’s happening; In the building, in your apt, or even the details in your lease.
-Properly Management turnaround is high! In less than 3 years, we are on our 3rd supper, 2nd VP, and at least 4th office personal/tenant point of contact. If you’re not on top of things, they will not be!
-The property management’s goal is to fix things as cheap as possible. This typically results in follow-up building & apartment maintance requests… which can inconvenience other tenants such as turning off water or heat to fix a single apartment’s issue but all tenants are affected.
Advice to owner:
I understand a business’s goal is to make money. However, when one is in the industry of living, quality of life must be a top priority. Investing in quality will lead to long lasting equipment, tenants, and employees.
