-
Accomplishes financial objectives by collecting rents; paying bills; forecasting requirements; preparing an annual budget; scheduling expenditures; analyzing variances; initiating corrective action.
-
Maintains property by investigating and resolving tenant complaints; enforcing rules of occupancy; inspecting vacant units and completing repairs; planning renovations; contracting with landscaping and snow removal services.
Block Management
As a leaseholder, you should take a keen interest in how your building is being managed and who it is being managed by. A poorly managed property can have an impact on the long-term enjoyment of your home and potentially its future value.
It's normally the landlord who is responsible for the overall management of the building. This could be an individual person, a company or a local authority.
Some landlords may choose to manage the building themselves but it's more common for them to appoint a professional managing agent to manage and maintain the property on their behalf.
