While the COVID-related economic slowdown grounded many businesses to a halt, property management has not been one of them. As residents are spending more time at home and small businesses face economic uncertainties, the responsibilities of property managers have skyrocketed; responding to client requests minute by minute and keeping up with continually evolving government health and workplace guidelines is more than a handful.
The best way to overcome these new challenges is to work with partners that can provide competitive advantages. Case in point: it’s a great time to consider whether or not your current equipment and service providers are efficiently meeting the needs of your properties at affordable and sustainable rates. While you may already have sufficient equipment for your properties, ownership comes with many costly and time-consuming responsibilities; even the best equipment will require maintenance and replacements in order to perform optimally over time.
So what features and benefits should landlords and property managers look for in a service provider to help them operate successfully in this challenging climate? Read on to learn about the ways that the Reliance Property Management program can help property managers and landlords take on new challenges with one, trustworthy provider, allowing you to reduce risk, free up capital and provide your residents with 24/7/365 customer care.

1. The right partnership can help you avoid the inconveniences that come with equipment ownership
When you own your HVAC, water purification, water heating or other commercial equipment, servicing and maintenance costs are inevitable. The costs of labour, repairs and replacements add up, especially when managing multiple units or properties — not to mention the time and effort required from you and your staff to keep up with these service requests and manage multiple supplier relationships. What’s more, it has become increasingly difficult to find contractors still working amid shutdowns who also adhere to all the recommended health and safety protocols. This can make it even more challenging to respond to time-sensitive electrical and plumbing service requests.
Ultimately, cost-certainty is of the utmost importance when navigating a time when very little is certain. In the current climate it can be difficult and costly to source third-party contractors who meet your service level expectations. The right service provider should be able mitigate this uncertainty and keep billing consistent, flexible and planned for.

4. Find additional capital for your business with our buyback program
Freeing up additional capital is important, both because it can help landlords and property managers mitigate risk in a volatile rental market and secure the resources needed to complete projects deemed less essential. Taking advantage of our buyback program can help you find this extra capital at a time when it’s most needed. Our buyback program is a way for those who own their current water heaters, boilers or HVAC equipment to have Reliance assume ownership of the equipment and continue to maintain it. You can then reinvest that capital right back into your properties. If your equipment meets the right criteria, you could be eligible to earn up to thousands of dollars for your equipment. Here’s how it works:
First, determine how old your equipment is. You may qualify if:
- Your water heater is six years old or less
- Your boiler is eight years old or less
- Your furnace unit is ten years old or less
Next, arrange for one of our qualified technicians to inspect your equipment to ensure that it meets requirements.
If your equipment meets the necessary requirements, we will calculate the buyback amount in one of two ways:
- If you have the proof of purchase and installation, we will use this full amount to calculate the total buyback amount.
- If you no longer have the proof of purchase on file, we will be happy to provide you with a quote based on the cost of our own equipment.
