Solving Tenant Disputes: Expert Property Management Strategies for Conflict Resolution - Article Banner

Tenant relationships are not always easy to manage, and tenant disputes can be even more difficult to manage. 

This is an excellent reason to hire a professional property manager; you won’t have to worry about conflict and confrontation. 

We like a pre-emptive approach when it comes to solving tenant disputes: avoid them. 

This is easy for us, thanks to our process of rigorous tenant screening. We know that placing and retaining well-qualified tenants will lead to a pleasant and profitable rental experience for our owners. There won’t be many disputes to deal with, and we prioritize establishing positive and professional relationships with all of our residents. 

Solving tenant disputes also requires compassion and empathy. The entire rental experience is improved for everyone when residents feel supported, heard, and respected. 

Disputes will happen between tenants and owners. Conflicts will happen when your tenant is unhappy with you. You’ll need to know how to manage and resolve those issues without having those problems escalate. 

We want to talk about how to manage and solve tenant disputes, whether they’re between two tenants or you and a tenant. Remember that not every tenant complaint can be solved, but when you are engaged and empathetic, you can often come to a reasonable resolution.

The Benefits of Building a Strong Community in Your Rental Properties | Nashville Property Management

The Benefits of Building a Strong Community in Your Rental Properties | Nashville Property Management - Article Banner

If you rent out multifamily properties, it’s a good idea to think about those properties as communities, rather than just buildings or developments. Tenants are hungry for a sense of belonging. They want to feel like they’re at home, even when they’re renting. They feel more valued and appreciated when there’s a strong sense of community where they live. 

Venn Neighborhoods conducted a study that was released last year which showed that renters are willing to pay more for a great rental experience

The study revealed that things like hardwood floors and granite counters aren’t nearly as important to renters as a strong sense of community. In fact, over 80 percent of the 1,500 multi-family renters surveyed reported that they wanted to live in a neighborhood with local businesses, and around 75 percent of those surveyed said they wanted to be more social with their neighbors. 

Check out the full survey results here. What we really found interesting is that when tenants have friends or acquaintances in their building or their neighborhood, they’re one and a half times more likely to renew their lease agreement

There are several benefits to building a strong community in your rental properties. Here’s why it’s important.
