How To Get The Most From Your Property Management Team

When choosing to rent over buying a home, one of many perks one will receive is the ability to work with a property manager for your home. From billing questions to maintenance requests, here are some of our top ways to ensure you’re getting the best experience with your property management team at your RPM Living apartment home.

Safety issues

While we pride ourselves in maintaining safe environments for all of our RPM Living residents, if there is ever a situation regarding another resident, unknown visitor, or an incident such as doors being left propped open, etc., these are all prime reasons to contact a property manager, and voice your concerns. This helps to ensure not only your safety and comfort, but the same for all of our residents.

Maintenance requests

From leaking pipes to broken appliances, one of the top perks of renting instead of owning is the luxury of having someone other than yourself install (and foot the bill for) repairs to your apartment - no matter how big or small they may be. When making a maintenance request to your property management team, please keep in mind that typically, the urgency of your repair team coincides with the severity of your maintenance issue.

Emergencies

While this may seem a little on the nose, it’s important to recognize what constitutes a true emergency to contact your property manager, and when to call the authorities. A serious emergency such as flooding, loss of heat / AC, and power outages should always be reported to your property manager, but instances such as fires, gas leaks, home invasions, etc. should always be reported to emergency services first, and only after should you reach out to a property manager. This ensures the safety of all involved, as well as the safety of your home.

Moving concerns

Whether you’re moving in or out, it’s never a bad idea to request some help with any questions or concerns from your property manager! Oftentimes, they can give helpful recommendations into the best local moving companies, moving procedures for a specific property, and can help ensure you are assigned / removed from all utility requirements (gas, water, electric, trash, wifi, etc.) where necessary.

Rent concerns

We’re all human, and all online systems have their quirks. If at any time, you feel that an incorrect charge has been placed on your account, don’t hesitate to reach out to your property manager to confirm! The main goal of a property manager is to ensure the comfort of residents across all properties, and this is one way to ensure open communication and respect goes both ways.

Benefits Of Living In A Community-Oriented Apartment Home

Apartment communities provide many benefits for renters, like flexibility and convenience. When making a decision on where to live, consider that apartment communities typically provide additional benefits that you may not receive as a single-family rental home dweller or home owner. We’ve outlined our favorite benefits of living in a community-oriented apartment home to help make your decision a little easier.

Community Amenities

Community is included in the name for good reason! From sparkling pools and fitness centers to resident lounges and outdoor gathering areas. Memories and connections are bound to be made in the community amenity spaces at your apartment home when you take advantage of them! Not to mention, access is included in your rent - so why not enjoy them as much as you can?

Stronger Sense of Security

There’s naturally going to be a stronger sense of safety and security when you know you’re surrounded by a community that’s looking out for you. That’s something that many apartment dwellers miss when they leave their apartment communities and opt for buying a home. Another benefit of these communities is knowing that gated access, keycard and pin pad access, surveillance cameras, and on-site patrol is available and keeping you safe with unmatched attention.

Worry-Free Maintenance

When you live in a community-oriented apartment home, the natural understanding is that everyone wants to be there and take care of their homes and outdoor environments just the same as you, as a sense of pride within the community. This is also achieved through worry-free maintenance programs provided by your apartment community, so you can spend more time focusing on your own interests.

Stronger Sense of Community

There are few feelings more rewarding than knowing you are part of a community you’re proud of, and this is easily achieved when living in an apartment home that values and puts forth ideals of community in high regard! From resident events to community amenities, to simply engaging with your neighbors and fellow residents, the feeling of knowing you’re a part of something bigger than yourself is a reward in itself.

Mobility

Community-oriented apartment homes are created with the needs and desires of its residents first in mind. Naturally, this results in better located communities, easier access to community amenities and events, and the knowing that your home was made for you - not the other way around.

How To Personalize Your Space in Your Luxury Apartment in North Dallas

Knowing how to make your space your own is one of the best ways to truly love your space in your luxury apartment in North Dallas. Even if it feels perfect, take a look at how you can improve the personalization of your space to reach maximum comfort and serenity in your home.

Know your colors

Before you can find the right supplies for your space, you need to know what colors you want to see more (and less!) of in your home. If you’re not sure, Pinterest can be your new best friend! Once you decide what color schemes you want to follow in your home, then you can move on to the fun stuff! Like…

Curtains

If you are looking to add in some more color to your space, curtains can be a saving grace. Bright, bold curtains could be exactly what your space is missing to add in that pop of color you seek! If more color is not what you are looking for, try finding a neutral color in your space (white, beige, grey) and capitalize on it! Make sure to know how much light you want to let in before deciding on your material type!

Pillows

Accent pillows, as fun as they are, can be tricky! You want to incorporate enough color and design to brighten or bring together your space! Though, you don’t want to be “the pillow lady” with so many pillows that you can’t sit down. Be sure to know where to draw the line! Similar to curtains, accent pillows can add in that pop of color you feel you are missing. Alternatively, they can be a way to tone down your space if you feel it has too much going on.

Smart storage

Whether you're someone who likes everything on display, or you like to keep things minimal, this is for you! Knowing how to keep things stored in your space is the key to personalizing it to perfection! Remember: shelving, storage tables, bins, and ottomans are ideal when it comes to keeping your space functional, while preventing clutter.

Area rugs

Finding the perfect rug for your space is like having a perfect hair day, but every day! Again, this is one of those times that Pinterest can be your best friend! Decide what size, shape, and color of rug will fit perfectly in your space, and give it that “you” touch!

That’s all for now on our tips and tricks to personalize your space! Which one are you going to try out first? Don’t forget, if you want to shop our luxury apartments in Austin and other RPM communities across the US, check out our Communities page.
