The <a href=\"https:\/\/parte.be\/en\/our-services\/\" type=\"page\" id=\"462\">powers of a Property Manager<\/a> are legally clearly defined and limited to the common areas of the building. Below is an overview of the most important limitations.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>1. Resolving rental disputes?<\/strong> The Property Manager does not intervene in discussions regarding rent prices, rent arrears, or conflicts between tenant and landlord. This falls exclusively under the authority of the landlord or their rental manager. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>2. Providing access to tenants' private statements?<\/strong> The Property Manager only manages the common costs of the building. They have no insight into individual lease agreements or the arrangements between landlord and tenant, and therefore cannot provide access to personal statements. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>3. Checking how costs are passed on to tenants? <\/strong>The Property Manager usually prepares the global statement for the entire building, but has no access to\u2014and therefore no supervisory role over\u2014the way a landlord distributes those costs among their tenants. The correct individual distribution is the responsibility of the landlord. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>4. Carrying out repairs within a private apartment?<\/strong> Broken appliances, individual heating problems, or other defects within the walls of an apartment fall outside the Property Manager's remit. This is the responsibility of the landlord or rental manager. <br\/><br\/><em><strong>Nuance: damage to common areas<\/strong> When a problem in a private apartment (such as a leak) causes damage to common areas or other apartments, the Property Manager does intervene. In that case, there is an impact on the common property, regardless of who occupies the apartment in question. <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>5. Providing direct services to tenants for private matters?<\/strong> A tenant has no direct contract with the Property Manager. For questions about the lease agreement, the settlement of utility costs, or problems within the apartment, you must contact the landlord or rental manager. <\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/parte.be\/en\/blog\/property-manager\/what-does-a-property-manager-do-in-an-apartment-building\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"1527\">Want to know more about exactly what a Property Manager does?  <\/a><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:67px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\" style=\"grid-template-columns:36% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" src=\"https:\/\/parte.be\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/nanobanana-1777969412903.jpg\" alt=\"As an owner, are you faced with an apartment that your departing tenant has not left in good condition?\" class=\"wp-image-5307 size-full\" style=\"object-position:100% 45%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parte.be\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/nanobanana-1777969412903.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/parte.be\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/nanobanana-1777969412903-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/parte.be\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/nanobanana-1777969412903-768x428.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"!h4\">Practical examples: Do you recognize these situations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The situations below illustrate where the line between Property Manager and rental manager lies in daily practice and why it pays to contact the right person immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lost your mailbox key<\/strong>? Having a duplicate made for a lost mailbox key is simple and does not require the intervention of the Property Manager. You arrange this directly with your landlord or rental manager: they determine how many keys there are, who bears the costs, and how the replacement proceeds.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Locked out<\/strong>? The Property Manager generally does not have a spare key for private apartments, as that falls outside their authority. Your first point of contact is the owner or rental manager, who may keep a spare key.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The oven is not working<\/strong>? A defective appliance within the apartment is not a matter for the Property Manager, but for your rental manager or landlord. They are responsible for the maintenance and repair of what is located within the walls of the private section.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The tenant left the apartment dirty<\/strong>? As an owner, are you faced with an apartment that your departing tenant has not left in good condition? This also falls entirely outside the authority of the Property Manager. Your rental manager is the appropriate party to follow up on this, whether it concerns a move-in\/move-out inspection, a damage claim, or the withholding of the security deposit. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary: who to contact and when<\/h4>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Situation<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Contact<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Elevator, roof, hallways, parking defect<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Property Manager<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Common costs or building statement<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Property Manager<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Maintenance or repair of the building<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Property Manager<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Defect or repair in the apartment<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Landlord \/ rental manager<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Rent price, lease agreement, or termination<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Landlord \/ rental manager<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Water or heating cost distribution<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Landlord \/ rental manager<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Rent arrears or legal conflict<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Landlord \/ rental manager<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"height:62px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is best to remember from all this<\/h4>\n\n<p>The difference between a Property Manager and an rental manager is simple but crucial: the Property Manager manages the building for all owners together, while the rental manager manages the private apartment for the individual landlord.<\/p>\n\n<p>Many problems and frustrations arise because tenants, and sometimes landlords as well, contact the wrong party. By knowing this distinction, you save time and avoid unnecessary discussions. <br\/><br\/><strong>Rule of thumb<\/strong> Problem in your apartment or with your statement? \u2192 Contact your landlord or rental manager.
