KPM Q&A

Old School Condominiums Northampton Massachusetts

For Tenants and Residents:

Q: What are KPM’s Available Properties?

If you're on the lookout for available rental properties, explore our up-to-date listings on our Rentals Page or visit our Facebook Page for the latest information. To express your interest and receive notifications when a unit becomes available, send an email to kpm@kendrickmanagement.com.

Q: How Is Property Damage Reported?

To report property damage, owners or renters have three options. Call our office to report damage, and we'll initiate a work order with a response within 24 hours. Alternatively, report damage via email to kpm@kendrickmanagement.com, attaching photos. The newest method is through our Buildium Resident Center APP, ensuring a swift resolution to any issues.

Q: Where to Send and How to Make Payments?

Payments can be made via checks, cash, money orders, and most ACH payments, sent or dropped off at 2 Bay Road, Suite 100, Hadley, MA 01035. Ensure checks or money orders are made out to the property owner, not Kendrick Property Management. Residents on our Buildium Resident APP can make direct EFT payments, streamlining the process. When setting up automatic bill pay, use your last name and unit number in the account number section.

Q: Is There Emergency or Criminal Activity Occurring at the Property/Association?

For emergencies or criminal activity, contact the appropriate authorities, as we are not security, law enforcement, or medical service. Destruction of property, including common areas, should be reported to the police immediately, as reporting solely to us may yield less satisfactory results without a filed police report.

Q: How do I send an anonymous communication to my association's board?

Residents can anonymously submit feedback or raise issues by reaching out via email, phone, Buildium, or by filling out one of our contact forms. We will present these concerns to the association, maintaining anonymity and providing residents with the association's response.

Q: How are maintenance requests handled?

Maintenance requests can be called into the office during business hours or submitted via the Buildium APP at any time.

Q: What fees are associated with renting a property?

Once a property is rented and a lease is signed, there are no additional fees aside from rent and utilities as outlined in the lease.

Q: Is renters' insurance required?

While not mandatory, it is strongly recommended, and information can be conveniently shared through the Buildium APP.

Q: How is rent collected, and what are the accepted payment methods?

We accept cash, checks, and EFT transfers via our Buildium APP, providing tenants with a convenient digital payment option from their mobile devices.

Q: What is the process for renewing a lease or moving out?

Tenants will receive an intent to renew their lease via email or mail three to six months before the end of their lease.
