This system allows users to manage their rental property effectively and alleviate the burden that otherwise might fall on the shoulders of property owners. This article will discuss the benefits of PMS in detail that is brought for both the tenants as well as the property owners.
One of the most used full features of the PMS is that it could screen out the tenants. Screening includes background checks, credit assessments, and rental history verification. This KPI helps the landlord to decide whether to rent out the property to the tenant or not. Risk mitigation becomes easier when using PMS. Secondly, the PMS has access to a large pool of tenants which allows faster placement of suitable tenants, which also reduces property vacancy period.
One of the challenging aspects of any business deal is to collect money or receivables, the same is the case when renting out the property, and tenants are always reluctant to pay on time. PMS solved this issue too, it provides a systematic approach to rent collection, which ensure timely payment from the tenants. Some features like an online payment system, a soft remainder to the tenants, enforcement of late payments penalties in the case, and details of financial records help out the landlord to keep track record of their cost and profit ratio. And provide a smooth cash flow to the landlords.
Depreciation devalues any asset but the property’s value could be appreciated if carefully maintained with time. PMS has a built-in feature of routine maintenance remainders. The remainder could be for HVAC servicing, cleaning, and landscaping. Moreover, if there is any need for emergency repairmen the PMS will send an urgent notification to the landlord to ensure the tenant is safe and reduce the risk of further damage to the property. Landlords can also connect with contractors and services providers using PMS portals, this can make it easier for the landlord to maintain their properties and can reduce the turnover of tenants.
