Frequently Asked Questions

When should property managers survey tenants?

After every maintenance request, 90 days before lease renewal, at move-in (30 days), and annually for overall satisfaction. Each timing serves a different purpose.

What questions should tenant surveys include?

Focus on maintenance speed and quality, communication responsiveness, property condition, safety, and overall satisfaction (NPS). Tailor questions to the survey trigger.

How can surveys reduce tenant turnover?

Pre-renewal surveys identify at-risk tenants early. Address their concerns personally — this alone can improve renewal rates by 10-20%. Lower turnover saves significant re-leasing costs.

Can property owners see tenant feedback?

Yes. SurveyNinja generates branded owner reports showing satisfaction trends, maintenance metrics, and NPS scores — demonstrating the value of your management.

How do post-maintenance surveys work?

When a maintenance ticket is closed in your PMS, a survey is automatically sent to the tenant asking about response time, repair quality, and crew professionalism.
