Building community amongst your tenants is an important but all too often neglected part of property management. While it's important to cover the basics like leasing and maintenance responsibilities, keeping tenants happy requires landlords to forge real connections. If you're hoping to retain tenants year after year, Scott Safadi of Cal Bay Property Management recommends hosting community events. Here are some ideas to try this fall!
Food Truck Fridays Want a fun way to draw your residents out of their apartments and into communal spaces? A food truck offers a convenient way to do just that! If you're feeling hesitant about the "forced fun" aspect of many traditional apartment community events, consider inviting a local food truck to park near your office. Offer residents discounted snacks or freebies to further entice them to stop by! Bonfire Night A fire pit, some graham crackers, marshmallows, and a few chocolate bars are all it takes to have a fun and easy community bonfire night! Invite tenants to join you for snacks over the open fire. Enlist a local musician to perform a few acoustic favorites, or throw on a playlist. There's nothing quite like conversation and a shared sweet treat to help build new friendships! Trunk or Treat Trick or treating ain't what it used to be! Parents have become less willing to allow their children to knock on neighbors' doors of late. Instead, many bring their costumed little ones out to community trunk or treat events. Walking around a brightly lit parking lot of fellow families is seen as a safer option than traditional door-to-door knocking. Embrace this trend and schedule your own complex trunk or treat event. Be sure to kick in plenty of candy as the host! - Scott Safadi, Cal Bay Property Management
