The quietly serious problem of a shortage of apartment managers
I would like to talk about...
This is particularly relevant to the management of condominiums, so we would like to ask all condominium owners to
This is information that we would like you to know, so that you know, "So this kind of problem is occurring."

Duties of an apartment manager

Now, I'm in the manager's office on the first floor of the apartment building.
The so-called "manager".
There are various types of work, such as "live-in," "resident," and "patrol."
In investment ownership,
I think most of them are on a "patrol" basis, being there for a few hours on certain days of the week.

It's a job that doesn't get much focus,
The business contents are

・Dealing with residents
・Cleaning services
- Inspection of facilities within the building
・Report to the management company

That's about it.

Some people may think, "It's not that hard of a job."

In fact, the traditional job of a "manager" was,
Rather than having a full-time employee of the management company do it,
In many cases, this role is played by retired seniors.
Half of them are between 65 and 70 years old, and more than 80% are said to be 61 or older.

There is such an image,
Although it may seem like a relatively light job,
In fact, that is not the case, which is why there is a shortage of people willing to take on the role.

So, in recent years, it has become an increasingly important issue.
Let's look at the causes of the "management shortage."

Reasons for the shortage of apartment managers

1. Changes in employment patterns around the world

The length of employment at each company is increasing,
As the re-employment of seniors has become more active,
The number of job options available after retirement has expanded.
This is one of the major factors.

Until now, there have been limited employment opportunities after retirement.
It was a place for seniors who wanted to work even a little,
The structure of society has undergone a major transformation,
It can be said that the shortage of people willing to become administrators has become apparent.

2. The image of being "harsh" and "dirty"

There are also impressions on cleaning services, etc.
There seems to be a strong image that physical labor means getting dirty.

In addition, there are problems between tenants,
You may be responsible for various on-site interpersonal interactions by yourself.
There may also be some impression that it is difficult.

3. Low wages

I think this is quite a big one,
Despite the image that it would be "difficult,"
There is also the aspect that people tend to avoid it because of the low wages.

Even if we try to raise the hourly wage significantly,
The source of this funding is the management fees collected from the owners.
This increase in turn translates into increased costs for owners.
Due to these circumstances, the building management company cannot easily raise the management fee.
I think there is a structure that makes it difficult to raise the wages of caretakers.

Summary of the shortage of apartment managers

The main cause of the manager shortage is
It will be something like what I just mentioned,
If there is a shortage of workers,
It is not difficult to imagine that the quality of on-site management would decline.
The trash area is dirty, trash isn't separated, the lights in the common hallway are out,
Starting from a small place like this,
Gradually, the rules and morals for using the building began to break down.
As a result, it may become a property that is difficult to find tenants.
It's a very possible story.

If the tenant profile of the entire building deteriorates,
Even if you get a tenant,
There is a possibility that rents may be lower than the surrounding market rates.
In other words, the shortage of managers is an issue that could directly lead to a decline in asset values.

Near future,
This is a topic that could become a pressing issue in the field of real estate management, so
Especially for condominium owners,
This is something you should keep in mind.
