As someone in Property Management, it's such a toxic work environment... I'm getting out over the next couple months... been doing this the past 11 years with leasing/maintenance/accounting... the tenants are the dumbest people in the world... can't figure out how to pay online... won't report maintenance issues so a small issue turns into a huge issue because they wait for shyt to hit the fans to say something.. upper management in companies is clueless as to how day to day operations really works, they run around saying shyt.. but what they say isn't practical... they don't listen to people who aren't kissing their asses and telling them they are so smart and shyt... I've told my boss over and over again that he's a fukking idiot for stupid shyt he says... he can't afford to get rid of me so
Owners are selling all the properties I work for now... so once they sell... fukk it, i'm taking the severance and I'm out... I don't need the bullshyt anymore... Lived on site and my sister that does our leasing at this property lives in my house so she paid my mortgage and I got free rent... but after telling them over and over and over again to report maintenance issues to her first, to not bother me at my apt... they still pound on my door and if I don't answer my door... they literally start pounding on my windows... I don't get days off... I don't get any peace... it's literally hell
Now that we are selling as well... the building foundation apparently shifted and snapped the kitchen drain line which is under my living room... so when my upstairs neighbor uses water or does dishes... my sink fills up with sludge and grease and everything... whole apt smells worse than I can describe... I have to use the shop vac to empty the kitchen sink like 5 times a day... and in order to fix all this... they're gonna have to jackhammer the floors open.... that's even if they want to shell out the $5k to do it... which they might say fukk it until they sell and let it be the new owners problem and just make me live in hell even more
But now there's a huge shortage in the property management field as far as maintenance goes... people apply but don't show up for interviews... because these property management companies don't pay for shyt.
Sister is buying a house, I'll be moving into my house, taking my severance and just gonna do some day trading and not work for a bit and probably get my real estate license in the spring and weigh my options at that point... but to anyone in property management...
, it's a thankless job... nobody appreciates you, and all the tenants just try to get over on you time and time again... keep your head up!!!
