Owning a rental property is a great way to build wealth and generate income. But one key question quickly arises: Should you manage the property yourself or hire a professional property management company like Zenova?
Here’s a clear comparison to help you decide what’s best for your situation.
Self-Management: Pros and Cons
Pros:
✅ Save on management fees
✅ Full control over decisions and tenant selection
✅ Direct relationship with your tenants
Cons:
❌ Time-consuming and energy-draining: managing calls, repairs, and admin work
❌ Lack of expertise on local rental laws, increasing the risk of legal issues
❌ Being on call 24/7 for tenant emergencies
❌ Emotionally charged tenant conflicts to handle
Managing your own property is possible… but it quickly becomes a second job.
Why Hire a Property Management Company?
By trusting professionals to manage your property, you’ll benefit from:
✅ Peace of mind: No more late-night calls from tenants
✅ Optimized rental income: Market analysis, rent adjustments, and reduced vacancy periods
✅ Proactive maintenance: Preventative upkeep and fast repair coordination
✅ Accurate administrative tracking: Rent collection, late payment follow-ups, and monthly financial reports
✅ Legal representation: Guidance and support in case of disputes at the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL)
In Short: Which Option Is Best for You?
👉 If you have lots of free time, a solid understanding of landlord-tenant laws, and enjoy property management, self-managing might work for you.
👉 If you prefer to protect your investment, maximize your returns, and eliminate daily stress, hiring a professional manager like Zenova is likely the smarter choice.
