Managing multifamily housing risks takes a lot effort these days. Managing even a small multifamily residential building brings it's fair share of risk. As a property manager, you may be required to screen tenants, establish appropriate rental rates, oversee maintenance, collect payments, monitor expenses, and resolve both property owner and renter complaints, among other duties.
You often dealing with the interests of a landlord, suppliers, visitors, and past, current or potential tenants. And you frequently have negotiating power and authority over communications. More than that, there is a substantial amount of property under your custody and care.
With all this responsibility, someone may allege that your professional choices or actions caused harm, and they may seek financial compensation. This makes insurance protection and risk management top priorities.
