When it comes to renting an apartment, you can choose to rent from a property management company or an individual landlord. Both options have their own set of benefits and potential drawbacks. When you choose a reputable property management company like Avenue Living Communities, the advantages become even more compelling.
Let’s explore why renting with a property management company can elevate your rental experience.
Access to Exclusive Benefits
When you choose to rent through a property management company, you can gain access to deals and promotions that individual landlords simply can't offer. For example, Avenue Living Communities has a partnership with Zenbase, where renters can split their monthly rent into two manageable payments and also gain access to their CreditBuilder program. Additionally, TELUS offers discounted internet and TV services to all Avenue Living Communities renters while also gaining access to building-specific promotions which helps you save even more on your services.
Protection From Scams
One of the biggest reasons people choose to rent with a property management company over individual landlords is because of scams. Recently, there has been an increased risk of renters being scammed through fake online listings and unregulated apartments. When you choose to rent with a property management company you know you're getting a quality suite that meets legal standards—significantly reducing your risk of getting scammed. By choosing a reputable property management company, you safeguard yourself against fraudulent practices and enjoy a trustworthy renting environment.
Expertise and Industry Knowledge
One of the standout advantages of renting with a property management company like Avenue Living Communities is the extensive expertise and industry knowledge. Most property management companies stay updated on local laws, regulations and market trends, ensuring that your rights as a renter are always protected. For instance, at Avenue Living Communities we provide valuable guidance in choosing the right apartment, negotiating lease terms and determining fair market rental prices. Our expertise allows us to handle any challenges or disputes that may arise, offering you a smooth and worry-free renting experience.
Hassle-Free Maintenance and Repairs
Maintenance and repairs can also be a source of frustration for renters, especially when dealing with an individual landlord who may not have the resources or contacts to address issues promptly. But when choosing a property management company like Avenue Living Communities, the hassle is taken out of maintenance and repairs because of the reliable internal contractors and maintenance teams that ensure any issues from leaky faucets to electrical problems are quickly and efficiently addressed.
Streamlined Communication and Prompt Assistance
Effective communication is another reason renters should consider renting with a property management company over an individual landlord. It’s an area where property management companies excel because they have much larger teams with access to sophisticated tools. For instance, at Avenue Living Communities you have access to our Customer Experience Centre 24/7, who can help you with any inquiries and complaints. Unlike individual landlords who might be unavailable or slow to respond, our dedicated team is always here for you. Whether you have questions about your lease, need to report an issue, or require assistance, our streamlined communication channels, including dedicated phone lines and online portals, make it easy to reach out and receive prompt support.
While renting from an individual landlord may offer a more personal touch, the benefits of renting from a professional property management company like Avenue Living Communities are substantial. From access to exclusive promotions and scam protection to expert industry knowledge and hassle-free maintenance, we provide a level of professionalism and reliability that can greatly enhance your rental experience. When you choose to live with us, you’re opting for a comfortable, secure, and enjoyable place to call home.
