Nearly 1 million people call the City of San Jose, one of the largest cities in the United States, their home.  San Jose, located approximately 50 miles to the southeast of San Francisco, experiences much of the same weather as the City by the Bay.  As host to multiple high technology companies and students of local universities, the city has declared itself “Capital of Silicon Valley”.  Even though self-proclaimed, the slogan is arguably accurate.  Not only do the technology companies pump millions of dollars into the local economy, they also employ the cream of the crop from the thousands of students graduating from the area’s technology and engineering programs each year.  Just some of the major colleges located in and around San Jose include UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, Stanford, and San Francisco State University.  Sometimes referred to as “Los Angeles of the North” by Californians, San Jose is a city for city lovers.  It’s got housing for a wide range of budgets, plenty of nightlife, places to shop, tons of dining options, and much more.  As a matter of fact, it’s all of these characteristics that make San Jose such a desirable place to live.  Anyone who owns property in San Jose can rest easy in knowing that when the time comes to find a renter, they should have no problem doing it.

Of course, when the time does come to find a renter, property owners are highly encouraged to outsource the work of “landlord” to a professional San Jose property management firm.  Owning and operating a property for profit in San Jose is more than collecting checks; it requires patience, time, and contacts.  Sometimes, renters won’t pay their bills.  Other times, they will garner complaints from the neighbors.  What happens in these situations?  It’s up to the property owner, if acting without the help of a San Jose property management firm, to handle the situation from beginning to end.  The owner will be responsible for speaking to the renter in order to resolve complaints or collect debts.  When requests don’t work, the owner would then be responsible for pursuing legal remedies to resolve their problem with a renter.  Unless they have the kinds of contacts in the legal industry that property management companies do, the homeowner is likely to end up spending hundreds, if not thousands of dollars just to get a bad renter out the door or to collect money due.  

Clients of San Jose property management firms, however, don’t have to ever worry about what to do in the event of a bad renter or how to collect back rent.  Since they contract with a professional management company, many legal fees that might be related to management of the property are generally covered or reduced by the fees which the client pays to the company every month.
