Property Management
People tend to spend all year waiting on one of the joyous holidays of the year – Christmas and New Year. Holidays can be a chaotic time as this is the season where family members and guests are coming and going and so many distractions. The holiday season can be a stressful time for most landlords. And for these reasons, most landlords would want to hire a company that provides property management services to help them manage their rental properties during the busy season.
Here are some of the advantages why landlords should hire a property manager for the holidays.
#1 Smooth out the process for any additional people coming and going out of the property
Most lease agreements specify a limit on the number of people who can occupy the rental property at any given time. As the limits are for insurance purposes or fire code purposes. At times, tenants overlooked the limitation and can become a problem during the holidays when friends or family coming to visit would extend with them for a period.
A property manager can help landlords smooth out the process for any additional people coming and going out of the property. This means that as a landlord you will not have to spend your time sorting the agreements, issuing passes, or constantly on phone calls because the property manager will handle it for you.
#2 Collecting Rental Payments
During this season, most people tend to find themselves short of funds, and as a landlord, during these situations, chasing for delinquent payments can take away your time from your own family during the holidays.
A property manager will collect rental payments for you. A property manager will handle the dealings with delinquent tenants, so you don’t have to use your precious time with your family during this season chasing for delinquent payments. Having an experienced property manager to look after your rental properties helps you run smoothly your rental “business”. This will allow you to enjoy your holidays as you should.
#3 Monitoring Safety Issues during holiday
Over Christmas, there can be a lot of extra fire hazards in the home. Electric lights hung outside the building, the Christmas tree, candles everywhere, etc. There are safety issues that landlords must consider during this season.
Christmas tree can cause a fire when the tree becomes dried out and becomes brittle, so it is advised that a Christmas tree should be watered. It is unsafe that a Christmas tree is left in the home or alongside the building after they die.
A property manager can help enforce safety guidelines and rules regarding the disposal of Christmas trees.
Exterior lights can malfunction and could lead to a fire. When you have a property manager, he/she can monitor and warn tenants of the risk, as well as the property manager could conduct inspections if necessary, to ensure the safety of the tenant and of the property.
