What Maidi Rentals is about
You may have heard or read the horror stories about different landlords and property management companies in Bloomington. Making promises, but being slow about maintenance, cutting corners, and even as bad as stealing deposits and exploiting inexperienced renters.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Maidi Rentals is all about providing an honest and hardworking alternative to the crummy renting situation too common in Bloomington.
Our recipe is handling just about every aspect of the business, where we own, manage, renovate, and maintain each property while interacting directly with the tenants. We have over 30 years of experience doing this.
When you rent with many companies in town, the landlord is one person, the homeowner is another person, and fixing problems is handled by yet another set of people. There are many problems with this model. Property managers (PM) get a small cut, so they typically manage too many places, and have incentive to cut corners at best, and exploit tenants at worst. Homeowners often have no experience in property management, and so to maximize their earnings, they often don’t approve paying for important repairs.
Under the problematic model of property management, when a tenant needs help, the process might be that they contact the PM, and get a slow response because the PM is handling dozens of other tenant requests; then the PM may send a contractor to get a quote on how much it will cost to fix the problem, which can take a few days; then the PM might be contractually required to request permission from the homeowner to authorize the repair, which may take a few days; then supposing the repair is authorized, the PM then has to schedule the repair with the contractor, which may take another few days. Whew!
When you rent with Maidi, the process is much simpler. You need help, so you contact us, and then we come out and fix the problem ourselves, being experts in electrical, plumbing, roofing, and property remodeling and rehabilitation. On top of that, you get quick service since we manage many fewer properties than the big companies. You also get convenient no-fee bank to bank online payment systems, and a relationship built on transparency, trust, and respect.
