A lot of landlords have encountered irrational tenants, who only report unjustifiable complaints. The best way to handle tenants like that is to keep a record and make up some complaint forms, list of materials for the repairs, schedule matrix of maintenance, inspection reports and receipts. These are only some of the most important papers you must keep track of.
If you hire a property maintenance company, all the documents mentioning their maintenance work must be submitted to you. In addition, communication between you and the manager or personnel should always be open and very honest. These days there are various means of communicating such as emails and phone calls.
If you keep an emergency funds account this can help you to immediately respond to valid repairs requests from your tenants. Upon hiring a property maintenance company, find out if it offers a trust account to be used solely for maintenance in case you are unavailable at the time of the reported damages. This may require a few hundred dollars, but think that such amount would be a lot less compared to the expenses that might arise when damages are not fixed in a prompt and timely manner.
No one can foretell when damages would occur. You still have ways to prevent them. Make sure you have regular inspection at least once a month. This is also your way to be ensured that the tenants abide by their task to take care of the house or unit they are renting from you. When you employ the services of a property maintenance company the measures you implement, handling complaints would be the least of your worries.
