Best Practices for MTR; Utilities, and Furnishings

[Travis Bohling]

Hi MTR investors and property managers,

What are best practices and innovative solutions for the 2 subjects below:

Utilities

1. During periods of tenancy who should have the utilities in their name, landlord or tenant? Pros and cons of each strategy?

2. For those who believe landlord is the answer above, do you include internet access?

Furnishings

1. Efficient inventory methods. Are you counting dishes or do you limit your concerns to the big-ticket items?

2. Any slick new solutions to troubleshoot tech issues with residents (usually tv or internet questions)?

Hey @Travis Bohling, we cover utilities including internet in our monthly rate. It is easier for the owner and the tenant. 

For furnishings, we try and limit all concerns to over $25 items. No need to negatively impact the guest experience over one dish or mug.
