Prevent Tenant Issues From Happening

Antiquated Rent Collection

Unpaid rent is a problem. Landlords must have a steady stream of income from the properties. Tenants in San Diego are ordinarily prompt, but they sometimes forget. Old-fashioned methods of collecting rent such as drop box or mailing in the check are inefficient and can create lengthy delays.

Repair Negotiations

Landlords in “Evicted” would negotiate with tenants about repairs. The property owner would agree to not collect money owed in return for repairs performed. It is a terrible mistake. Tenants are not skilled electricians or plumbers. They quickly make mistakes that create emergencies. The amateur repair work might not be compliance with building codes. A landlord can face severe fines for letting residents fix things.

Working With Professionals

Landlords have a lot on their plate. If there are several apartment units, a landlord can easily get swamped with all the work needed. It makes things better if property management companies in San Diego are used.

These are professional companies that work with clients to manage the properties. A property manager will interact with tenants on a routine basis and keep operations running smoothly. Alta Vista Properties is a property management company in San Diego that works well with a client’s tenants.

Making Things as Easy as Possible

It is always better to make matters as simple as possible for tenants. Rent collection can be accomplished when automatic electronic transfers are used. Alta Vista Properties will create electronic transfer arrangements between the tenants and the landlord’s accounts. The landlord receives the money on a set date and tenants do not have to worry about mailing things in on time. This helps with cash flow for our clients.

We do not want tenants doing any repair work on the units. We prefer they report any damage as soon as possible. We make this easy by having a damage report page on our website. Once we find out about repair work, we contact one of the contractors we use to take care of the damage. These are highly reputable companies and they will not charge for work they don’t do.

An excellent way to deal with unruly tenants is not to have them in the first place. Alta Vista Properties does a meticulous screening of all prospective tenants. We make sure in our background check that the individual is reliable and does not cause problems. We will go over the lease with a new person and answer any questions he or she might have about living in a client’s apartment or rental house. Our relationships with the tenants allow us to maintain good communities and not worry so much about eviction notices.

Owning a rental property should never be a significant problem. We can take care of all the needs of a client, including creating financial reports while keeping the tenants satisfied at the same time. Alta Vista Properties has a reputation for highly efficient and effective service. We are there to make life easier for the client.

Please do inquire at any time about our property management services. We can be reached at 858-274-3600 or by email at info@altavistaproperties.net. We look forward to hearing from you and answering your questions
