The Top 7 Tenant Complaints—and How You Can Avoid Them

Tenant complaints are inevitable, but how you handle them can make or break your property management experience. Maintenance issues, like plumbing and appliance breakdowns, are among the most frequent complaints, and response time is key. Implementing proactive maintenance strategies and using property management software can help you stay on top of these concerns before they escalate.

Another common complaint revolves around rising utility costs. While this is often unavoidable, offering services like a move-in concierge can significantly improve tenant satisfaction.

Rent increases and deadlines can also frustrate tenants. Clear communication and financial incentives, such as credit reporting for on-time payments, can ease these concerns and improve rent collection consistency.
