FAQ — Compliance & Risk Management

Q: Who is responsible for insurance on the property?

A: Owners maintain core property, general liability, and contractual liability coverage, with GreenTree named as an additional insured on those policies. Our own team separately carries workers’ compensation and crime and fidelity coverage, which protects you from risks tied to our staff’s conduct rather than leaving that exposure on your policy.
Q: What happens if there’s a legal claim or major property damage?

A: We notify you promptly once we become aware of any material legal claim, liability exposure, or property damage above defined thresholds, so you’re never learning about a serious issue secondhand or after it has already escalated. Staying ahead of these situations is far less costly than responding after the fact.
Q: Do you handle evictions and tenant disputes?

A: Yes. Routine landlord-tenant matters are handled directly by our team, and we coordinate outside counsel for unlawful detainers or when a particular matter calls for that level of expertise. Our goal is always to resolve disputes as early and efficiently as possible, since a dispute that drags on costs far more than one addressed promptly.
Q: Can you represent my property at a hearing?

A: Yes. For administrative hearings and regulatory proceedings, our team represents your interests directly, drawing on our experience managing similar matters across our Bay Area portfolio, so you don’t have to navigate the process alone.
Q: How do you keep my property compliant with local laws?

A: Our team actively monitors the federal, state, and local laws that apply to your property, including San Francisco’s rent control ordinance, Oakland’s Rent Adjustment Program, and just-cause eviction rules, along with the licensing and permitting requirements that come with operating it. Because these rules shift frequently and vary by city, we adjust operations proactively to stay current rather than waiting for a violation notice to prompt a change.
Q: What kinds of disputes can you help with?

A: We manage routine landlord-tenant matters, disagreements with service providers, and property tax appeals, engaging outside counsel when the complexity of a situation calls for it. In every case, the goal is to resolve the issue efficiently while keeping you informed without requiring you to manage the process yourself.
