Long Term Tenant

Pros

Easy access to transportation; large living rooms/bedrooms.

Cons

Management unresponsive. Maintenance requests go unanswered. Front door frequently broken. Older units are neglected.

Advice to the owners

Invest in your tenants, especially those in rent controlled units. When tenants in market rate apartments leave the building because of its lack of amenities, or leave the city because of increasing crime, your lower income tenants will remain. Give them a good reason to stay by responding to their maintenance requests, keeping the building clean and pest-free and treating them kindly.
