On-time Rent Collection in Albuquerque

Collecting rent when it’s due is one of the most basic functions of good property management. And yet a lot of landlords – and even property managers – overcomplicate it.

At Bruni Karr, it’s simple. Our tenants know when rent is due. They know how to pay it and what the consequences will be if it’s late. We screen our residents well and we work hard to maintain good relationships with them. For that reason, rent is rarely late.

Here’s how we deliver on-time rent collection in Albuquerque.

Consistent Rent Collection Policies in the Lease Agreement

On-time rent collection occurs before your first rent payment is even made. Our lease agreements include details and instructions on rental payments. Tenants will understand our rent collection policy. We’ll do more than put it in the lease – we’ll talk about it with them before they move in, ensuring there is no confusion and no conflicting information.

Tenants will easily reference the rent collection policy in their lease, which covers:

  • How much rent is due.
  • When the rent is due.
  • How and where the rent should be paid.
  • Whether there are any grace periods.
  • What the consequences are for late rent; i.e. late fees and eviction proceedings.

Communication is the best first step and it leads to fewer late payments.

Online Rental Payments Provide Convenience & Security

We invest in technology at Bruni Karr, and we’ve found that it allows for more efficient and easily automated property management functions.

This is especially true when it comes to collecting rent.

Tenants get their own online portal, similar to the portal our owners use to access accounting statements, financial records, repair invoices, and lease documents. Tenants use their portal to make easy online rental payments, to submit routine maintenance requests, and to get in touch with us for any questions they may have or information they might need.

Paying rent online comes with a number of benefits for our residents:

  • Rental payments can be scheduled in advance.
  • Recurring payments can be set up.
  • Reminders can be sent out.
  • Payments can be made from bank drafts or credit/debit cards.
  • Payments and receipts are tracked and documented.

Our online rental payment system is convenient, secure, and user-friendly. Tenants appreciate paying this way, and it reduces the chance that rent will be late.

For tenants who prefer to pay in more traditional ways, we have systems in place to collect checks, money orders, and even cash at retail locations.

Avoiding Evictions in Albuquerque

Eviction is never easy. It’s not pleasant for anyone, including rental property owners and property managers. We are completely prepared to file an eviction if that becomes necessary. However, it isn’t typically required of us because we’re able to work with tenants to reach a better resolution.

For us and for our owners, the ultimate goal is getting rent paid. We talk with tenants, we offer payment arrangements, and we put together agreements if it becomes necessary.

Eviction is always an option and we know how to navigate the court system if we have no choice but to regain possession of your property. It rarely becomes necessary, and that’s because of our exceptional Albuquerque property management.

The staff at Bruni Karr Agency are uniquely positioned in property management services. We have been working with Bruni Karr since the mid-1990s over three family generations. They have helped guide our property portfolio with a steady hand, weathering numerous economic downturns, bubbles, and uncertain times. Their approach to property management is proactive—they help owners avoid the stress and crisis of numerous maintenance and repair issues all piling up at once. The staff at Bruni Karr are super timely with all communication and tenant relations. My mom and I always appreciate their phone calls and end of the year holiday cards. Thank you, Bruni Karr!

I have had the pleasure of working with Bruni/Karr Agency since 2020. They manage one rental property for me. As a former real estate agent who studied property management, I understand the degree of difficulty and all the headaches involved in managing rental properties. Bruni/Karr has excelled in all areas of its contractual duties. I have not experienced any issues with their service. They communicate with me on a monthly basis, I have access to their online portal if I need to access information about my property, and they provide financial, accounting, and tax documents in a timely manner. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable property management company in the Greater Albuquerque Area.

I like the services this agency offers, however, they seem to struggle to be consistent with their follow through. They have had our rentals for going on 20 years and we have yet to see any improvement in the follow through, accountability, and attention to detail. I get receipts for other clients, they provide notification of monthly statements but when I go to the owner portal, the monthly statement isn't available. When you call to speak with someone, they pass the buck and blame someone else and don't every get a straight answer. We've asked that they notify us about any breakdowns or repairs needed with the rentals so we can either complete it ourselves or hire contractors we know and trust who won't gauge us along with completing quality work; however, this doesn't happen. They also seem to negate their obligations for the fees they charge and incorporate updated policies to charge the owner more for getting the property rented. For example, they prequalify renters and then give them a key to go check out the house by themselves. Then they charge the owner to have all exterior doors rekeyed. If they show the property, they charge the owner an additional $50 for showing the house. Shouldn't the fee they charge for getting the house on the market be taking care of this? The only thing they do is put the house on their website. Nothing else. Used to be they would place a for rent sign with their phone number in the yard. As a final statement (because I can continue with all the areas they are lacking) about Bruni Karr, there is LOTS of room for improvement.

Great property management team. Haven't used their service in a couple years but when we needed info we got a response timely. Also renting 2 properties from Bruni Karr and they were great. Got both deposits back (I cleaned the properties exceptionally- bear that in mind). Never had a problem getting in contact and they were always professional.
