Maintain Your Parking During COVID-19 Here are some suggestions to maintain the integrity of your parking program during what may become a challenging parking situation with more residents staying at home: Activate "Someone's in my space" if you don't already use it.... Activate resident reporting directly to enforcement such as "Fire Lane" and unauthorized parking. If you have guest parking, consider increasing the number of passes, if appropriate. If you currently charge for guest parking, consider reducing or temporarily removing the charge. Reach out to those with expired permits to help them renew. Add an "Exception" permit type if you want to give permit exceptions to accommodate temporary resident needs. Thank you for relying on us, Kevin Wexler CEO at Reliant Parking

How Towing cars leads to positive Online Reviews!!! How does THAT work? When it comes to property management, the old adage ‘no good deed goes unpunished’ fits the bill perfectly. Specifically when it comes to parking enforcement. When a resident commits a parking infraction, the worst possible thing property management can do is be lenient. While it may seem like a positive to cut residents some slack and give warnings, or reimburse towing fees even when the resident was ob...Continue reading

Cutting Edge System Solves Guest Parking Abuse Living in an apartment or condo definitely has its advantages, including lower costs, shared amenities and a sense of community. However, residing in close quarters is not all sunshine and roses. When people live in a shared environment, there are plenty of ways they can irritate their fellow tenants. But not all are guilty of just committing minor annoyances; some are breaking facility rules originally established to create a s...afe and pleasant living experience for all. Of the violations that aggravate fellow occupants most including noise and loitering parking seems to be a consistent thorn in the side. While high costs of renting a space or limited spots are both exasperating, the abuse of guest parking ranks near the top. But why would guest parking be such a hot issue for residents, many who already have their own designated parking spot or others who don’t even need one? With just a small ratio of overall parking allotted to guests, it’s the lack of accountability and abuse of the parking that’s most problematic. Even the savviest of building managers can be outsmarted by residents who figure out ways to circumvent the guest parking policies. Some residents don’t register their cars and then park in guest parking. If the car isn’t registered, then even the most elite enforcement company has no way of knowing they aren’t guests. However, we offer an efficient process that empowers residents to register themselves, creating a fair guest parking environment for all. Our Reliant Instant Guest Permit makes managing guest parking easier and more effective. Its state-of-the-art technology gives residents the ability to order their Reliant Instant Guest Permits 24/7, instantly making the data available to the enforcement team. The number of guest passes that can be ordered in a month is limited based on the needs of the property, as well. Our cutting edge system also gives property managers and owners a new way to hold their residents accountable for following the rules. At the same time, the workload is shifted from the property staff to the residents themselves. In 5 easy steps, here’s how our Reliant Instant Guest Permit works: 1. We’ll import a clean copy of your resident and vehicle information, along with parking rules, into a new online database. 2. We give designated managers secure online access to the data. 3. Residents use our online system to securely register their vehicles and order parking permits. 4. Reliant will process and send the parking permit directly to the resident 5. Property managers and owners have 24/7 access to view vehicle and permit records online. For more details of how our system works, visit our Reliant Instant Guest Permit website page or call 1-888-977-6848.

Parking Permits Progress to Empower Residents In our ever-evolving world of smart technology, condo and apartment living may be the next great frontier of digital change. ... And it may be just as simple as shifting our paradigm of how something as unassuming as a parking permit could be enhancing our lives. While some aspects of modern living have progressed to what we remember from watching The Jetsons domestic robots, 3-D printed food and video-chatting the humble parking permit hasn’t enjoyed much advancement. But, parking permits of the very near future could play a much more significant role in communal living, progressing to the status of being an all-inclusive ‘residential account’, providing convenience and efficiency for both residents and staff. A residential account would monitor a resident’s presence on the property, either controlled by an app or incorporated into their vehicle. Activated upon arrival on the premises, the residential permit could provide notifications and allow the resident to control their environment. Residents could be notified that a package was delivered, turn on their lights and music so their unit feels cozy when they arrive home, and even start brewing coffee so it’s ready when they walk in. Besides comforts and conveniences, this state-of-the-art technology is more about trackability and accountability, shifting responsibility from management to residents to help handle tedious facility tasks. For instance, a resident has a problem with their dishwasher and an appliance repairman needs to get in during the day. The resident can schedule the appointment using their residential permit, allow access, upload photos of what needs repair, then interact in real time with the repairman during the service call. This could also work with other services such as internet providers and deliveries. Managing property this way is more effective and efficient. Since a valid residential permit would control many services, property managers would gain more leverage in enforcing policies. For example, the permit could be disabled if a resident hasn’t paid their rent or is delinquent in other payments or fees. It doesn’t matter how many residents or units are on the property either. A residential permit could work for a small complex up to mega-towers. No matter what the size, management could be freed up to handle more pressing matters. Besides notifications upon arrival and disabling delinquent or expired accounts, what other ways do you think replacing the traditional parking permit with a digital residential permit could benefit both the resident and management? Please share your thoughts below.

Parking Lot Wars It’s disturbing enough to read that people are arguing, or even fighting, over a shortage of parking, but the situation has gotten worse. I recently read two shocking articles about apartment parking. One resident terrorized a neighbor and another killed a neighbor over parking spaces....Continue reading
