Maintenance problems
Maintenance issues are one of the most common tenant issues. As a property owner, it’s your responsibility to handle and delegate all maintenance requests. Also, it’s important that maintenance requests are handled in a timely manner to keep your tenants happy.
An easy way to avoid confusion is to include in the lease instructions on how to request maintenance services, expected response time, and what to do in case of emergency. An efficient way to keep track of all maintenance requests is to use an online system. This way there is a record of all the maintenance issues in case of a future dispute.
With Rental Heroes, your tenants are able to conveniently submit and track all maintenance requests using our Tenant Portal. As an owner, you can login to the dedicated Owner Portal at any time to view the status of any maintenance work for your property or properties.
Lack of communication
Your tenants don’t want to live somewhere where they feel ignored and that their concerns are unimportant. As an owner, it’s important that you establish a reliable means of communication with your tenants before they move in, whether that’s through email, text, or phone calls.
Rental Heroes can help you with this! We offer a variety of communication methods for tenants, including the Tenant Portal, email, phone, and text. And if you have questions, you will always be able to send a message to us at any time through your Owner Portal account. In addition, we are always here to answer your phone calls during regular business hours.
