If you’re a property owner or a tenant, property management services can offer huge benefits to all stakeholders.
So what is property management all about?
Property management is the daily oversight of residential, commercial, or industrial real estate by a third-party contractor.
Who regulates Property Management Companies?
The Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA) is responsible for licensing and regulating property service providers in Ireland.
What do Property Managers do?
The Property Manager should ensure the effective operation of the property. They should anticipate and monitor potential problems and maintain regular contact with tenants. Property managers, and all property professionals, should act within the limits of their experience, knowledge, and competence.
What Does Property Management Involve?
1. Rent collection
Collection and management of payments made periodically by a tenant to a Landlord for sums owed in relation to rent, service charge, insurance and any other amounts due.
2. Managing client accounts
All monies collected as part of the rent and service charge ( if applicable) should be kept in a separate account with transparent records for all expenditure and income.
3. Liaising with the owner
As well as the financial administration of the property, the management company looks after leases and other rental agreements. The Property Manager should ensure a positive relationship with their client, understanding their objective and requirements.
4. Tenant Liaison
It is also vital that the Property Manager builds a positive relationship with the tenants
5. Health and safety obligations
Health and safety obligations include statutory required preventative maintenance works such as fire alarm testing, emergency lighting etc.
6. Legal issues
Property management companies are very familiar with property laws and regulations as they often have to ensure that the Occupiers are compliant with the terms of their lease. This can include contacting tenants for non-payment of rent, service charge, etc.
