HOW TO BE A GOOD RESIDENT OF AN EL PASO RENTAL PROPERTY

Jun 07, 2019
At Century 21 Haggerty Property Management, we love working with tenants who are reliable, responsible, and willing to communicate with us to ensure everyone has a positive and productive rental experience. If you’re moving into one of our properties, we have some advice on how to work with us and maintain your rental property.

Be Timely with Rental Payments
Paying the rent on time is important! It creates less stress for both the resident and the owner. It avoids the drama and confusion of evictions. When you pay rent on time, you set a good precedent for your tenancy and it allows us to tell future landlords and property managers that you’re a great tenant. Being proactive now leads to a better rental future for you and a more positive relationship with us. We make it easy for you with online rental payments.

Report Maintenance Issues Promptly
Report any rental property maintenance issues as soon as they arise. This will fix the problems as quickly as possible and prevent further damage from occurring. The sooner an issue is reported, the less chance that it will get worse. Over time, wear and tear issues occur. People make mistakes and cause problems to arise. Whatever the cause of the problem, it’s important to alert us as soon as possible so we can make the necessary repairs.

Utilize Your Online Portal
We make it easy for you to complete tasks online. Rent may be paid online, which is quicker and more convenient for you and for us. Not only can you pay rent every month; you can also schedule future or recurring payments. You can also request maintenance and submit work orders online. You’ll be able to see that a contractor has been contacted, and you can follow the progression of the repair. Tenants appreciate that they can even see contact information for the vendors and contractors who are sent out to make the repair. This allows you to schedule times and coordinate directly with our third-party contractors. It allows the work to happen faster and with minimal disruption to your schedule.

Your tenant portal is an efficient and secure way to share information with your El Paso property management team. Use it to send us messages or view documents such as your lease agreement.

Keep Your Home Clean

It helps to keep your property clean and tidy. We know that everyone has different standards of cleanliness, but when you stay on top of cleaning and maintenance, you won’t have big messes to clean up and you won’t attract pests and rodents. When you move out, you’ll be expected to return the property in the same condition it was in when you moved into the home. If you keep up with daily cleaning, you won’t have a huge project to worry about during move-out.


Whether you’re thinking about renting one of our properties or you’re already living in one, we welcome questions and conversations. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at Century 21 Haggerty Property Management if you have any questions or need any residential help.

Benefits of Great Customer Service in Property Management

By Rob Carrillo • 01 Dec, 2020
Property Managers often have to work a balance towards pleasing clients that don't always share a common goal. Where you have a real estate investor who is trying to accomplish maximum returns while maintaining little expense, you in turn have a tenant who wants great value with affordable rent. Excellent customer service can be an effective way to accomplish getting your tenants the value that they want all while producing those ROI(return on investment) numbers that your rental property owners are looking for. Cutting Corners Unfortunately too many landlords often look towards cutting corners that only end up hurting them in the long run. Often we find landlords that forego hiring a professional property management company and try to go it alone so that they can avoid paying property management fees . Not only do they soon find themselves stuck within an industry that involves state and federal laws that they are not entirely aware of, but they also will realize that their rental property and their tenants require frequent upkeep and communication. Ignoring a tenant leads to bad blood and quickly sours a relationship. And ignoring an investment property 's needs often leads to increased costs down the road that could have been avoidable. Bring in Professionals Mismanagement and bad customer service leads to a cycle of short tenancies, more vacancies and a loss in revenue. The more investment savvy rental property owner will look towards a professional property management company, like Century 21 Haggerty Property Management, to help improve customer service and tenant relations with advanced tools that allows for constant communication, easy rent payment options, quick work order turnovers and other tenant benefits. They also provide the owners with added benefits such as deferred maintenance inspections which not only checks-in on the tenants, but will also help to catch any hidden maintenance issues that have the potential to grow into a much more expensive issue if not tended to.
