Problem Prevention & Profit Boosting Management Techniques – Organizing Bicycle-Parking

投稿日:2019-09-07 更新日:

Is the Bicycle-Parking in Everyone’s Property Organized?

Bicycle-parking is often located in the front of the apartment near the entrance. Abandoned bicycles can affect the image of the property in a negative way. Moreover, disorganized bicycles fall easily and can cause damage to bicycles nearby leading to neighbor disputes.

Problem Prevention and Profit from Parking Fee

There are two benefits in organizing bicycle parking – one is to prevent neighbor disputes.

In case bicycles fall and damage nearby bicycles, not only does this lead to arguments between tenants, owner and property management company are also at fault as the responsibility to maintain a safe living environment goes to them.

Second benefit in parking are organization is to boost owners’ profit by collecting parking fees.

Parking fee of around 300JPY per month can be earned from each user with the installation of bicycle racks.

Illegal Parking of Bicycle Lowers Tenant Satisfaction

For apartments that are not equipped with parking area, there are always a few tenants who leave their bicycles at the hallway or common area. This is unfair to other tenants who follow the rules and can again, become the reason of disputes.

Before the situation gets worse, it is always a good idea to consider utilizing the dead space and equipping your apartment with a parking area.

It is possible to equip three U-shaped racks in a narrow space of 0.5m x 5m. Moreover, the use of wall-mounted rack can save up to 2 times space needed for one bicycle.

 

If your property is located 10 minutes or more away from its nearest public transportation station, it might be a good idea to consider the above.
