Key Takeaways

  • Monitor six PM KPIs monthly: vacancy rate, days to lease, collection rate, retention rate, maintenance cost per unit, and statement delivery.
  • Conduct quarterly PM reviews covering KPIs, maintenance invoice audits, trust account verification, and physical property inspections.
  • Terminate when 2+ KPIs miss alarm thresholds for 2+ consecutive quarters, or immediately for trust accounting irregularities.
  • The termination process requires written notice, complete record transfer, tenant notification, and a property inspection within 48 hours.
