It Takes Teamwork!

These are tough times and the coronavirus pandemic is forcing many people to make changes their lifestyle. The quarantine is forcing changes in the way business is conducted as well. Landlords in San Diego should not try to do all this alone.

It Is Overwhelming

California is proactively responding to COVID-19. The governor has issued executive orders that guide the eviction of those people who are being affected by the pandemic. The California Judicial Council is restricting eviction cases in California and local governments are thinking of provisions on eviction if any person is affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Compassion is the guiding influence on all these public measures.

Property owners are not heartless, but they have a business to run and bills to pay. The new regulations on how to handle the pandemic threaten business continuity and can overwhelm any landlord in San Diego. We have not seen anything like this before and everyone is trying to adapt to the crisis. Unfortunately, property owners are faced with the possibility of severe financial trouble. The present and the future can overwhelm even the most sensible person.

Send In the Professionals!

These are times when a landlord should not try to do it all alone. There are too many problems coming from all directions. Property management companies in San Diego deal with emergencies all the time. A landlord ought to consider seeking help from these third-party professionals, especially if that same landlord has an extensive portfolio.

Property management companies have contingency plans in the event of grave emergencies. Although what we are experiencing now is out of the ordinary, action plans can be adapted to fit the situation. A property manager knows how to do that.

Bringing Back Order From Chaos

What is critical is the ability to bring back continuity to business activity. It is not just the rent but also the upkeep of the important units. A property management company in San Diego can make arrangements for rent to be paid through electronic transfer and suggest to a landlord some various alternative ways of paying rent (e. g. Allowing a tenant to pay a certain amount of rent and devise a way to pay the balance later on). 

Many landlords do not have a direct relationship with tenants. A property manager does, and that person can be an excellent communication medium between the landlord and the tenants.

Tenants want to know what to do in this emergency. It is wrong to assume that a resident is not conscientious, and many want to do the right thing. Landlords rarely have the time to gather all the information required to educate tenants best. This is something that a property management company can do better than anybody else. They are in contact with public agencies and can share information with those renting apartments.

Repair work is still a priority item. Because of their relationship with repair contractors, property managers can find out what protocols a contractor is using to keep employees and tenants safe during any repair work. A property manager can also perform an inspection of the property that keeps everyone safe and reduce the chances of any infection. Alta Vista Properties can help a landlord in San Diego survive the problems brought on by coronavirus.
