COVID-19 has caused many an issue in the current world. All industries are taking precautionary measures to help support the global fight against the spread and risk of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So why not do the same in residential property management? The residents of your property are likely to come in close contact with various other people on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Property management firms, landlords and owners should start scratching their heads and asking the right questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point in time, it is definitely a bad idea to keep information to yourself, and not extend the virtue to your residents. You must be proactive – keeping them updated all throughout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell them what you are going to do about the situation. Perhaps, close off a common area, restrict access to amenities or anything else. Be transparent – it goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharing information extends beyond checking in once and then withdrawing for the rest of the event. You should establish a team of people who can keep questions at bay, and answered on a consistent basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We recommend starting a Whatsapp group or using any other communication channel, where your residents can keep in touch, help each other if needed and make sure everything is all fine and dandy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also your responsibility to keep your tenants and occupants informed of what they are supposed to do. Encourage them to follow health protocols and provincial guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with the speed of the virus – owners have been set back, left to reacting and not carefully acting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a site-specific disaster plan for each of your properties. Determine which staff is essential, who has been cross-trained. What if your employee has just returned from a COVID-19 hot zone – be ready to lose an employee for self-isolation period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Establish distance – don’t have conferences in person. Keep in contact using modern technologies, and review, review, review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure everybody is on the same page, and not panicking. Interfacing with residents is important, but you must adjust to the current events, guided by reliable sources of information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And by doing so, you improve the residential experience, while elevating your personal work capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\nReview, Review, Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
