TENANTS
Respecting boundaries & relationships
To establish and maintain a mutually beneficial relationship between tenant, landlord and the property managers, requires a healthy dose of empathy. As property managers we prefer to listen before we speak, we seek your perspective, we pass that on to the owner and we look for balanced, effective and timely solutions.
Well-tested and documented procedures define and support our service standards, however it’s the fact that we care and our respect for all parties that drives our behaviour.
We understand that a tenant’s comfort and safety is paramount. It’s often stressful and inconvenient when a plumbing or electrical issue is raises its head and all the more so if its taking longer to attend to than would be the case if you owned the home you currently rent.
No property manager or company can provide any guarantees or KPI’s on response times on such issues as these are most often beyond our control but they are within our influence. If you are a good tenant we want to keep you as it can be hard to find another.
That is why we remain proactive in resolving issues, that is why we act on any issue and continually follow up until it’s resolved.
Most tenants understand that we are not in control of all decisions. Most often the landlord directs our actions and time frames. Empathy for your property manager’s often unenviable position of being the ‘meat in the sandwich’ is a good place to start and for our part caring about retaining you as a tenant and our empathy for you is key to the health of our business relationship and in the interest of all parties.
