by a tenant resulting from inadequate safety precautions or from the landlord’s
failure to repair doors, windows, or other points of access into the building
or into individual rental units. The property manager has the difficult
task of seeking to minimize the risk of crime while at the same time keeping
operating cost increases to a minimum.
Supervising personnel
Depending on size, a property may require none, one, or many employees
for cleaning, maintenance, security, and other jobs. The property manager
normally determines the personnel requirements of the property and hires
workers (within a budget approved by the owner). Depending on the terms
of the management contract, wages and salaries are either paid by the property
management firm (that then passes these costs along to the property owner)
or are paid by the owner directly. A management firm handling a number
of buildings around town normally finds it more economical to have its
own staff service the buildings.
Maintaining property insurance
Adequately insuring a property - and doing so at the minimum cost - is
important. Doing so requires a manager to keep up to date on the many types
of insurance coverage available and to recommend appropriate insurers for
the property. (This latter function is often performed by an insurance
broker, who deals with the property manager or directly with the owner.)
Finally, the property manager must investigate all accidents or claims
for damages and see to it that reports are filed promptly with the insurer.

Notes
1. The property manager is responsible for the prompt collection of rent
and other payments due from tenants.
该句中介词of后接两个宾语-rent和payments. Due是形容词，修饰payment.
the prompt collection of rent意为“及时收取租金”。
other payments due意为“到期的其他应付款”。
2. a fixed sum固定数目
3. …the tenant may pay a minimum rent that steps up at periodic intervals
during the lease term, sometimes with some form of escalation rent….
此句中，定语从句 that steps up…修饰rent，该定语从句可译为：在租赁期间可定期增加的最低租金。
sometimes with some form of escalation rent (like increase tied to the
Consumer Price Index)可译为：经常可以逐步上升的形式（就像与消费价格指档相关的涨价）。
4. garage rentals车库租金
5. fees for specified services provided by the landlord为业主提供非凡服务而支付的费用。
6. If additional rents and fees must be calculated…, they are not payable
until bills have been prepared and rendered to tenants.
该句是一个复合句，if引导一个条件状语从句，但在主句中又有由not…until引导一个时间状语从句，意为“直到……才”，they代替additional
rents and fees，意为“追加的租金和费用”。
7. The increase in crime both against persons and property has made security
a top demand by tenants of all types, whether residential, office, retail,
or industrial.
both against persons and property 修饰crime，意为“对人身和财产的犯罪”。
Make security a top demand可译为“使安全成为首要要求”。
Whether…or 引导名词性从句，作tenants of all type的同位语。
8. In addition, legislation and court decisions in many states have expanded
the liability of a landlord for injury or property loss suffered by a tenant
resulting from inadequate safety precautions or from the landlord’s failure
to repair doors, …or other points of access into the building or into….
此句是一个简单句，但其中有分词作定语，句中过去分词suffered by a tenant修饰loss, 意为“租户遭受的伤害或财产损失”。
现在分词短语resulting from…作状语，其中or后所接的from前省略了resulting，该分词短语可译为：是由于安全防范不足或者是由于业主没有修缮门、窗或其它进入建筑物或单个租赁单元的通道所致。
9. The property manager has the difficult task of seeking to minimize the
risk or crime while at the same time keeping operating cost increases to
a minimum.
while引导一个状语从句，意为“（但）另一方，却”此句中省略了主语the property manager，这是因为在主从句中，主语部分完全相同，while引导一个与主句相对照的句子。例如：
I earn only 50 dollars a week, while she earns 100 dollars.
我每周挣50美元，而她挣一百美元。
10. A management firm handling a number of buildings around town normally
finds it more economical to have its own staff service the buildings.
此句中，分词短语handling…修饰firm, a number of 意为“一些”，其后接可数名词，如a number of students。
