One of the biggest problems facing landlords is tenants who do not pay their rent on time. Rent collection is by far one of the most tedious and stressful aspects of property management, and with repeat offenders always paying their rent late, it can cause huge problems if property owners are relying on rent income to help towards their bond repayments or other costs. Maintenance of your property in South Africa is something that has to be done at various points; however when tenants do not take caution in keeping the property well-maintained, routine upkeep becomes constant fixing and maintenance, often at the expense of the property owner. Knowing how to deal with complaints and how to deal with unruly tenants too is something that property management experts are able to do effectively and efficiently, taking out the stress of homeowners having to deal with disputes on their own without the experience and know-how to manage these issues properly. This can be a daunting experience for many property owners, especially if they do not have systems in place and lawyers on hand to assist with the legal ramifications of eviction. Many individuals and property owners do not fully understand what the term means, and have many assumptions about the effectiveness and necessity of such a service. One of the biggest trends in recent years is the investment of overseas property. An overseas property manager is essential to ensure that your property is managed properly, regardless of where it is in the world. By far one of the biggest myths is that the management of property will probably be too expensive, and not worth the costs involved. This is the first and often the trickiest step when managing a property. A company that has experience in dealing with tenants is able to determine what sort of tenant to avoid and which tenants will be the least problematic, while an inexperienced landlord may not know how to approach this without added stress. Another huge aspect of the landlord job is dealing with tenants on a regular basis. Yet another aspect of managing a property in South Africa is the property maintenance and repairs that always arise. Landlords often under-estimate the level of work and patience that this requires, from dealing with the tenant and addressing their queries, all the way through to finding a repairman to fix the problem at stake, and getting the best quote too. Aside from repairs and ongoing maintenance of your property, you may also want to consider property renovation as a way to increase the value of your property. How do you go about ensuring that rent is paid on time each month? This is another huge factor when it comes to managing a property, and with many tenants lapsing on payments, it can become a huge chore to keep track of who has paid their rent.
