Tenant Complaints
Landlord-tenant relationships are at the crux of owning a rental property. This can be great if everything’s going smoothly. Unfortunately, as with any service, complaints are an inevitability when it comes to real estate management. While evictions and other legal action are mercifully a fairly rare occurrence, tenant complaints are a much more frequent—and consistent—drain on your resources.
Managing your tenants’ complaints and expectations all on your own can sometimes be exhausting and overwhelming. It’s time-consuming, it’s frustrating, and often even the best attempts at diplomacy can end in bad interactions after your tenants file a complaint. Most of all, though it’s an ineffectual use of your precious time.
You Can Depend on Our Tenant Services

Common Tenant Complaints
While every tenant is unique, there are common housing complaints that arise among renters that you can expect to deal with at some point in time. Some of the most common issues that you’ll likely have brought up by your tenants include:
- Unforeseeable maintenance issues
- Ineffectual communication or poor customer service
- Privacy violations
- Pests or vermin
- Unreturned funds
- Unpleasant interactions with neighbors
- Discrimination-based issues
Go Preventative Instead Of Reactive
This may seem like a lot to undertake if you’re new to leasing, but that just makes it all the more important to employ preventative strategies to ensure any potential issues are taken care of swiftly.
One of the most important things you can do is establish a personal yet professional relationship with your tenants. Then, should any issues arise, your tenant can trust that you would take them seriously and that you care both about your property and their comfort.
If you don’t have time for that kind of relationship, a property manager can be an invaluable resource to you as a property owner. Not only do property managers effectively establish community expectations with your tenants, but their regular presence commands respect that discourages tenants from neglect and rule-breaking—making the lives of your other tenants stress-free, and less apt to lodge tenant complaints.
The Best Offense Is a Good Defense
Property managers are your first defense against the kinds of problems that start small but quickly spiral into expensive disasters if not addressed. They’re able to take on tenant issues before they become big problems. Plus, they can also provide these other services:
- Property Showings
- Tenant Screening
- Rent Collection
- Move In/Out & Renewal Evaluation
- Pre-Leasing
- Pet Screening
- Lease Creation & Signing
- Maintenance Management
- Utility Management
- Landscape Management
- Drive By Evaluations
You Don’t Need To Do It Alone
Everyone has horror stories of bad landlords, and no property owner wants to be the subject of one. This is why it is absolutely critical for property owners to look into options like a property management company in order to find truly diligent property managers that can establish a caring relationship with your tenants without eating too much into your own time.
