Property management in West Orange

Property management firms look after rental homes and commercial buildings for owners who would rather not handle the daily work themselves. Common services include collecting rent, arranging repairs, handling tenant questions, negotiating leases and keeping records for the owner. Some also offer apartment and townhouse rentals, medical office buildings, or help with redevelopment and financing. When you choose one, ask how quickly they respond to emergency maintenance calls and who you would speak with day to day. Ask how they screen tenants and how they report income and expenses. Request a written management agreement and check the fee structure, termination terms and any charges for leasing or repairs before you sign. If you need help soon, call ahead, since good firms book up.
