Apartment management is the term used to describe all activities that are required to keep an apartment complex fully functional. An apartment complex has to be maintained on a regular basis. Cleaning, repair, renovation and other activities have to be constantly monitored.

Added to this there has to be regular interaction with code enforcement officers, state housing departments, banks and building inspectors. There's also a whole lot of paper work involved like insurance policies, lease agreements and tenant applications.

Without an apartment management system it's hard to keep the apartment complex running. The safety, security and other aspects of both the buildings and the residents have to be taken care of. To achieve this, an apartment manager has to be appointed. He will take care of all the servicing, maintenance and repairs work. He will also interact with small and big contractors and suppliers. All electrical, plumbing and gardening work will be taken care of by him. The swimming pool, garden, club and so on can also be maintained with proper apartment management services. There is also the task of collecting rents, paying insurance, drawing out lease agreements, filtering prospective tenants and enforcing rules and regulations in the apartment complex. Parking lot maintenance, window washing and elevator and security services should also be looked into

With no leaking faucets to worry about and no hanging wires to bother about, the tenant in a properly managed apartment complex can carry on his routine activities without hassles. Proper and effective management makes apartment living a pleasure.
