Cleveland Property Management Advice about Tenant Retention

Cleveland Property Management Advice about Tenant Retention

Turnover is expensive for Cleveland rental property owners. Vacant properties are not earning any rent, and the owner has to pay out-of-pocket for maintenance, cleaning, and landscaping. Not only are you losing rental income, you’re also spending money between tenants.

Cost Effective Renovations, Remodels and Upgrades for Your Cleveland Investment Property

Cost Effective Renovations, Remodels and Upgrades for Your Cleveland Investment Property

One of the best ways to increase your ROI and earn more on your Cleveland investment property is by making simple and cost-effective property upgrades and updates. You don’t necessarily have to start adding new rooms or putting in a penthouse level. If your property is already in good condition and well-maintained, you’re probably having an easy time attracting good tenants and earning reliable rental income. However, a few affordable and minor changes can really make an impact in how quickly you attract those tenants. These upgrades can also lift your rental value.

Avoid at all costs, if you’re able! They really don’t care about their tenants or their property. Our old landlord sold the duplex we live in and this company bought it. First few months we spent fighting with them trying to overcharge us after being told by multiple people are rent would not change once ownership was transferred. We finally get that figured out after MONTHS of back and forth with the office. Then, right after we sign a new lease with them we have new neighbors move in below us in the duplex who smoke cigarettes inside stinking up their unit as well as our entire unit. I am severely allergic to cigarette smoke, management simply doesn’t care. I left a note directly to our neighbors as well as reported them to management every single time I smelt cigarettes coming through OUR vents into OUR unit. They say they deal with it but the neighbors continue to do it with complete disregard to us and our pets living above the getting secondhand smoke. Our lease has a huge clause about smoking and how its terms for lease termination, yet 6 reports later I am still waking up to cigarette smoke coming into our bedroom through the vents. For FOUR STRAIGHT MONTHS! They don’t care about their property CLEARLY but the lack of care for tenants is where I get frustrated.

The team at PUPM is honestly among the best I’ve ever worked with in any industry. They are incredibly quick to respond, and the best part is that they actually get things done right the first time. Sam and Bob make living at 1442 completely hassle-free; they keep the building spotless and always make sure it feels safe. If you get the chance to move here or work with this team, jump on it. You definitely won't regret the decision.

My recent experience was great. Bob the technician installed a new doorbell for my home. He also installed a new lock for my screen door because the old one was broken. Jam from PUMP reached out to me about my maintenance request to make sure everything was fixed. Jam was polite. Thank you!.

I had a great experience with Leon (technician). He recently fixed my kitchen stove and now it works fine. He was also helpful and nice. Faye received my maintenance request and I got a response within hours. She was nice and submitted the request fast. Thank you!. Also, Bob came this morning to installed a doorbell and the lock on my screen door. Everything is working now!. I didn’t have to wait long for my maintenance request to be submitted either.
