Young adults are in a unique transitional stage. They can be impulsive, and sometimes display reckless behavior that can lead to costly mishaps. Anyone who has parented adult offspring in that 18 to 19-year-old range knows rash impulsive acts can cost a landlord a bundle.
Just picture for a moment the party that got a little out of hand when six cases of beer arrived on the scene, courtesy of that well-known frat rat. That’s not to say these emerging adults are bad kids. But those who’ve studied late adolescent behavior know the problem in many cases is simply that these young adults aren’t yet as mature as they think they are.
Even so, knowing the role biology plays in risky behavior fomented by adolescents offers little consolation to a landlord. That’s because trashed apartments are costing your company a bundle in lost rental revenue.
The problem is not unique to landlords, but if you operate an apartment complex near a college campus you may have a competitive edge you do not realize. The world turns on the power of scaling enterprise — something Henry Ford figured out a long time ago.
Here’s a concept that’s simple and ideally suited for apartment complexes near off-campus housing.
All you need do is bring in a fully equipped renovation crew that can turn apartments fast enough to make your head spin. Off-campus housing is ideal, because of the mass exodus that occurs during scholastic breaks. With all those students on hiatus, a cleaning and restoration crew can go through in record time. We take care of everything from those small maintenance tasks to the big ones, including painting and replacing worn-out flooring.
It’s no muss, no fuss. You can’t get better than that!
