Rental management for condominiums. When Thomas Berger inherited an apartment in Vienna a year ago, he knew that he would rent it out - but not at the cost of constant tenant inquiries, payment arrears and repair work. Today, everything runs like clockwork - thanks to professional rental management.
Many owners face the same challenge: they own an apartment and want to rent it out, but don't have the time or the know-how to deal with rent assessment, index adjustments, ancillary cost billing or damage management. This is exactly where rental management - also known as condominium management or apartment management - comes in.
What is rental management?
Tenancy management is a specialized service that relieves the burden on owners of rented apartments. Unlike traditional property management, which is responsible for the common property of a residential building, tenant management focuses on the so-called special property - i.e. your specific apartment and the associated tenancy.
What does special property management actually involve?
- Rent advance & rent forwarding
- Index adjustment according to consumer price index
- Dunning & rent collection
- Deposit management & settlement
- Communication with tenants
- Coordination of maintenance & repair work
- Professional handovers & returns with protocol
Five advantages of professional apartment management
- No direct contact with tenants - The administration handles all discussions and negotiations.
- Reliable payment flow - Rent payments are collected and forwarded on time.
- Legally compliant index adjustment - Automated review and adjustment of the rent.
- Fast claims settlement - Repairs are efficiently organized and controlled.
- More time for the essentials - Owners can sit back and receive regular statements.

Difference to classic property management
Many people confuse rental management with property management. The difference: The Property management looks after the building as a whole - such as the roof, façade and common areas. The Rental management on the other hand, is an individual service for your condominium. It is therefore the ideal complementary partner to property management and ensures that everything within the apartment is professionally managed.
For whom is rental management worthwhile?
- Private owners with one or more rented apartments
- Retirement home investors
- Persons residing abroad
- Owners with strong professional commitments
- Communities of owners with units for rent
