Efficient Maintenance Management: Address maintenance issues promptly. Implement a reliable feedback system and follow up to ensure satisfaction.

Handling Rent Collection: Offer multiple payment options and clearly communicate due dates and late fees. Regularly update contact information and use various communication channels.
