Apartment Building Management
Apr 30, 2025
Perhaps the most common and most popular type of property that property managers manage are apartment buildings. Within this large umbrella of category though, there is a wide variety of different setups. From large townhouse-like units to massive apartment complexes with hundreds of units, each property is unique and fit to serve a different purpose and a different group of tenants. With online property management software, any and all kinds of apartment buildings can be managed easily and efficiently, allowing you to oversee all of your apartment buildings with ease!
Customization Options
As mentioned previously, there is a wide range of what an apartment is, and what is available at each building. The area of units can have a huge difference, and amenities that are commonplace in one building or one area can be missing in a different property, or vice versa. With an online property management system, you can provide detailed information for each building and each unit, specifying exactly what is offered at each property, and can have as many additional features and details as you need to make sure that you have everything that you could possibly need, all in one place. You can change the area size, the amenities, specific keypad codes, parking information, rent price, as well as more commonplace features such as bedrooms, bathrooms, and unit numbers. You can provide as much or as little information as you need, and can combine custom field inputs with detailed attachments for leases or floor plans, keeping you equipped with all aspects of your properties, all through the system. Once all this information is on the software and up to date, it becomes so simple to start adding tenants to leases and start fully managing your properties!
Marketing and Tenants
Speaking of adding tenants to leases, once you have your property information set up, just a few clicks of a button will set you up to start marketing your apartment listings on a variety of different apartment websites! Once you get an applicant that you want to make a tenant, you can directly add them to the lease through the system! You can also add multiple tenants to one unit, as is common in apartment buildings, and can have individual leases, attachments, and payment histories for each one. You can also send out emails and text messages to all your tenants, or to specific properties, units, or tenants, all directly through the system as well. However your apartments are set up, however your tenant situations play out, online property management software covers all of this, built to work for you and your specific needs!
Maintenance Matters
Once your properties and tenants are all set up and operating, the biggest thing that will pop up will be maintenance requests! Every unit and every property will differ with what is needing to be done, and it can be a lot to organize and keep straight. Luckily, with online property management software, you can have maintenance requests separated by category, vendor, unit, and property! Easily check which unit a certain request came from, or look at the maintenance history of one unit in particular to see everything that needs to or has already been completed! By having so many categories and separations, you can view each apartment and each property as their own entity to manage, rather than being overwhelmed with hundreds of open work orders. Now, even with a large scale, you can focus more in-depth on each apartment and every tenant!
