Sometimes when i can't sleep I'll play around with AI. Tonight I asked for a winter preparation checklist, and figured I'd share:
Preparing a multifamily apartment building for winter is crucial to ensure the safety and comfort of residents, as well as to prevent potential damage. Here’s a...

1.) ensure snow removal and icing contractors are in place.
Optionally if needed check centralized heat if the building even has it.
Also optionally send out an email explaining to residents that winter is colder than summer and an obligatory “winter is coming meme”.
I'm just curious... how many of you have residents ask you for a lease violation notice? Oddly enough, it happens to me fairly frequently. for example, a resident has a friend come to visit and the visitor is overextending their welcome. You need a notice of unauthorized occupants? No problem. A resident's sister insists on bringing her dog with her whenever she stops by and he need a notice for unapproved pets? You got it. How about a roommate that... Show more
One day they're putting in a maintenance request to have a lightbulb changed, while their rent is late, and the next day they're putting in their notice because they bought a house. Sure, good luck with that.
Emergency Maintenance sent me this picture. I replied "yes, it is very cold out."

The flooring installers usually do not replace wood from my understanding. And sometimes they flop before everything is dry too.

Okay, you've clogged your kitchen sink. What now? It doesn't affect the landlord one bit. You can use your bathroom sink for your cooking and cleaning dishes until he can get over there and clear it. And he can charge you if he suspects you poured grease down the drain. And you just invited him in so he can do a cursory inspection of your apartment for lease violations while he's there.

Resident “……..Oh”
Nothing like getting 1.5 feet of snow overnight to change your plans for the day.

Okay, a moment to get deep. As a property manager, I love my property. I love my residents. I love even the toughest most challenging parts of my job. With that said, my job is to find things wrong. Find that piece of trash on the ground, find that missing signature, find that area that needs touch...

Just a reminder to those who need it today... don't buy into your resident's drama until you have all the facts.
Yesterday I had a resident come to the office frantic that somebody hit their car in the parking lot, stole their gas, and moved a bunch of stuff around in their car. Terrible, right?
