In today’s world we have become accustomed to road rage, school shootings and many other displays of anger, hostility, and mental illness. Multifamily is not immune.  Residents get angry at each other and at the staff. Rent increases, late notices, noise complaints, parking issues irritate residents, and they take it out on the management team. Threats are made, doors are slammed, screaming at the staff happens frequently. Today’s consumer is living in fear, gets angry and frustrated easily. Too often we allow them to ‘pull our strings and act negatively ourselves. These behaviours trigger expensive complaints and a hostile environment. You can become more likeable and a peacemaker, not only to others, but to yourself.
