Avoid These Property Management AI Pitfalls
❌ Over-automating tenant relationships
AI should enhance, not replace, the human touch. Keep personal interactions for:
- • Move-in walkthroughs
- • Lease renewals for long-term tenants
- • Sensitive maintenance issues
- • Eviction proceedings
⚠️ Ignoring fair housing compliance
AI must be carefully configured to avoid discrimination:
- • Never use demographic data in screening algorithms
- • Ensure equal treatment in automated responses
- • Regular audit AI decisions for bias
- • Maintain human oversight on all approvals/denials
💡 Not training your team properly
Success requires buy-in from everyone:
- • Start with enthusiastic early adopters
- • Show how AI makes their jobs easier, not obsolete
- • Provide hands-on training sessions
- • Celebrate wins and share success stories
