What your property manager should be doing…

What your Indianapolis property manager should be doing… …but too many aren’t. The numbers tell the story for small Indianapolis landlords.

• Communicating clearly and consistently. Over 52% of Indianapolis landlords say their biggest frustration is poor communication from their current property manager—slow updates, vague answers, or no follow-through.

• Responding to maintenance fast. More than 40% of tenant complaints in central Indiana involve delayed maintenance. Slow responses increase turnover, negative reviews, and long-term repair costs.

• Verifying tenant income correctly. Fake paystubs and unverifiable employers are up 20%+ year-over-year. Many PMs still rely on surface-level screening that leads to early payment problems.

• Reducing vacancy with better marketing + pricing. Every 30 days of vacancy equals 8% of your annual rent lost. A strong Indianapolis property manager should have your unit listed quickly and priced correctly.

• Performing routine inspections. Industry data shows that 34% of major repairs could have been prevented with earlier detection during regular inspections.

• Providing transparent financial reporting. Nearly 1 in 3 small landlords report mysterious or unexplained charges on their monthly statements.

If these stats sound familiar, your property isn’t underperforming-your management company is.
