Living in a residential block offers undeniable convenience: shared amenities, close proximity to the city’s buzz, and (hopefully) a community feel. But let’s face it, navigating the relationship between tenants and block managers can sometimes feel like trying to cross a rickety bridge blindfolded. Miscommunication, misunderstandings, and frustration can quickly mar the experience for everyone involved.

But fear not, fellow residents! Building a strong, positive relationship with your block manager is not only achievable, but crucial for a harmonious and thriving block life. Here’s how we can all work together to bridge the gap and build that sturdy, trust-laden bridge:

Understanding Roles & Expectations

You, the Resident: Your responsibilities revolve around respecting communal spaces, following house rules, and promptly communicating any concerns or maintenance issues. Remember, open communication is key! Don’t let minor frustrations fester – reach out to your block manager proactively.

Your Block Manager: They juggle the complex task of ensuring the smooth operation of the block. This includes handling maintenance, managing finances, enforcing rules, and facilitating communication between residents and the landlord. Their job isn’t to be your nemesis, but your advocate and a resource to ensure a comfortable living environment.

Communication is King (and Queen)!

Efficient communication is the cornerstone of a positive relationship. OneBlock’s user-friendly online platform streamlines this process, offering block managers and tenants a convenient way to:

• Submit maintenance requests with photos and detailed descriptions, eliminating the need for frustrating phone calls or unclear emails.
• Track the progress of their requests in real-time, reducing anxiety and fostering transparency.
• Access important documents like work history updates, maintenance schedule, and certificates, giving them a sense of ownership and involvement.
