What Do Property Managers Do?
The main reason someone hires a property manager or management company is to protect their real estate investment and passive income. Investors hire property managers to manage their rental properties for a variety of reasons, from wanting a local professional to handle a property to a desire to take a more hands off approach with their properties.
But what does a property management company or manager do when tending to the properties they oversee? Let’s go over a few common responsibilities typically held by property managers. (I have covered this topic on other pages but I will provide it again as a quick summary.)

Please contact me today if you are in need of a Fill in Property Manager, Leasing Person, Maintenance tech, or porter in San Jose or San Francisco area.
I work with several companied that provide additional or fill in assistance and would be happy to provide a referral or arrange assistance.
1. Follows Landlord-Tenant Laws And Regulations
As an investor, especially if you own multiple properties in several different states or areas, it can be difficult to keep track of all the different landlord-tenant laws and regulations. A property manager can help avoid potential legal headaches by taking care of these regulations. Since we are typically experts in the specifics like rent control limits, fire ordinances, local fair housing requirements, or even crime prevention in areas that we work, we are often better equipped to deal with local laws and regulations.
As an example, in some states there are specific requirements on how much a tenant can be charged as a security deposit. I have to know the area might be better equipped to make sure tenants are charged the correct amount rather than the property owner accidentally asking for a deposit beyond the legal limit and creating a potential legal issue because they weren’t aware of the local laws.
2. Acts As A Local Presence For Out-Of-Town Owners As the expert on-site, property managers also act as a local presence for out-of-town owners. If a property owner has lived in Hawaii their entire life, they may not be equipped to deal with the intricacies of managing property somewhere they’re unfamiliar with, like California in my case. A property manager takes care of the details locally – along with other things that come up, like maintenance and other operational issues that would be difficult to handle remotely.

3. Handles Maintenance Requests
A property manager or property management company also handles maintenance requests and other in-person upkeep. A landlord that is slow to respond to maintenance issues can quickly cause tenant frustration – which is why it’s useful to have a manager onsite to address tenant concerns right away.
Maintenance requests could be anything from broken appliances to unwanted pests or wildlife in a tenant’s home, so having someone on-site to take care of these issues as they arise is vital. A lack of landlord support with issues in rental properties can cause tenants to take their business elsewhere when their lease is up, so it’s important to have a strong local presence to take care of tenant needs.
4. Shows And Leases Vacant Units Working with a property manager can also help owners eliminate the potential financial loss of having an empty unit sitting around for an extended period of time. Rather than trying to market a property remotely to potential tenants, its usually better to rely on a property manager to attract new tenants and renew existing leases.
Tenants aree often uneasy about or unwilling to move into a property without seeing it first - and showing off properties may not be an option if the owner lives out of state. Working with a property manager allows owners to have someone present on the property to fix problems and show off the full potential of spaces to potential tenants.
5. Collects And Deposits Rent Property managers also collect and deposit rent as a part of their duties for the properties they oversee. Some property managers and property management companies will collect rent using online sites or payment apps to help get money to the property owner quicker but its often essential to have someone there in person. We often also handle delinquent payments, collections and evictions. The tasks that might be difficult for investors to handle from afar are dealt with efficiently to save owners money and time.

An Intorduction to Leases
Portfolio 1
What Is a Lease?
Leases are generally legally-binding contracts between two parties: the lessor and the lessee. They involve a piece of property rented out by the owner (the lessor) to the lessee or the tenant. Leases can be verbal agreements but are normally drawn up in writing. Both parties agree to the terms of the lease, including the rental amount, length of time for the contract, as well as any consequences that may result if either party doesn't uphold the terms and conditions of the contract.
A lease is a contract outlining the terms under which one party agrees to rent an asset—in this case, property—owned by another party. It guarantees the lessee, also known as the tenant, use of the property and guarantees the lessor (the property owner or landlord) regular payments for a specified period in exchange. Both the lessee and the lessor face consequences if they fail to uphold the terms of the contract. A lease is a form of incorporeal right.How
What Benefits Do Leases Provide for Landlords and Tenants? Signing a lease provides both landlords and tenants with clear terms and conditions outlining the relationship and the rental agreement. Doing so also establishes the rights and responsibilities of each party involved. For instance, leases provide both parties with structure, in that they establish the cost associated with renting and the length of time under which the lease is exercisable. This provides both parties with stability. A lease also gives both parties a clear understanding of what happens when either party breaks or goes against any of the terms laid out within the lease contract.
