After the tenants moved out of the rental property it was discovered they left cats behind. Now, as the property management company for the property, you have to figure out what to do about these cats.
Hi, there! Joe White here from Grow Property Management, your trusted property management company in Philadelphia. Today, I encountered a predicament at a rental property managed by my company. While inspecting the property for the first time, I discovered a concerning issue. There are stray cats lingering in the yard, likely remnants of a previous tenant's care. While it's heartening to see the community's support for these animals, it poses a dilemma as we prepare the property for a new tenant.
The presence of these cats raises practical concerns for future tenants who may not welcome sharing their living space with feline visitors. As much as I empathize with the plight of these stray cats, it's essential to prioritize the comfort and preferences of our future tenants.
This situation presents a moral and logistical quandary. While I am personally fond of animals and own a cat myself, I must consider the best course of action for all parties involved. Balancing the welfare of these stray cats with the needs of our tenants requires careful deliberation and consideration of various options.
As of now, I don't have a definitive solution. I feel the weight of responsibility to address this issue compassionately and effectively. I plan to consult with the property owner and explore potential avenues to ensure the well-being of these cats while also fulfilling our obligations to our tenants.
In the meantime, I'll continue to ponder the best course of action and welcome any suggestions or insights from our community. I'll keep you updated on our progress and decision-making process. Your support and understanding are greatly appreciated as we navigate this challenging situation.
Ultimately, my goal is to find a resolution that is fair, compassionate, and in the best interest of both the animals and our tenants. Thank you for joining me in addressing this issue, and I hope for a positive outcome for all involved.
As always, happy investing!
