Inspections

At the time a property is turned over to Raven Property Management a full inspection is carried out with the owner or their representative present. Further inspections are completed and recorded with each change of tenant before they occupy the space, and a final inspection is made on the day that the tenant vacates the premise. From these inspection reports, we are able to assess whether or not the tenant has fulfilled their obligation under the residential tenancy agreement. Through these inspections, we are able to keep the owner informed as to the condition of the property, and if necessary, advise of any maintenance work which may be required to maintain the value of the property.

 

Accounting

General bookkeeping duties include receiving, recording and depositing all income promptly and documenting and paying expenses previously agreed upon. These expenses will vary with each property and owner and may or may not include utilities, repairs, and maintenance, licenses, taxes, payroll, Insurance, mortgages, etc. All monies received through rent, security deposits, subsidies or other income or held in are registered trust account and administered in strict adherence to the requirements as set up by the Superintendent of Insurances. As security deposits are received they are fully documented and recorded in the manner prescribed by the Rentalsman. When a tenant vacates his/her premises, and we are satisfied that he/she has fully complied with the tenancy agreement, we shall then refund the original amount of the security deposit, plus interest. Our accounting system is tailored to provide each owner with the financial information they need, or their accountant may require.

 

Owners of single unit Residential Properties receive a monthly statement showing all revenue and disbursements. Owners of multi-unit and Commercial properties receive monthly statements, income and expense summaries updated monthly in common cost schedules, where applicable.
