Communication

Have you not heard from your Property Manager in a while? They should be giving you regular updates on your property, from rental payments to maintenance issues.

When researching Property Managers, make sure they regular train and upskill their staff to regularly bring up their expertise.

Maintenance

A Landlord/Property Manager is obligated to provide a safe and healthy environment for a tenant.

They should have access to skilled tradespeople, schedule maintenance and conduct thorough inspections.

Legislative knowledge

Is your Property Manager up to date with constantly changing legal requirements? Your Property Manager should be able to advise you on how legislative updates affect you and your investment property.

Systems
