The study was guided by these objectives which were investigating issues and challenges involved in the administration and management and assessing the occupant level of satisfaction. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaire and interview from eight (8) respondents from managers and 254 from tenant’s perspective respectively. Data was analyzed and presented using percentages, frequencies, relative satisfaction index and tables. Findings revealed that lack of transparency, lack of efficiency; improper accounting and poor facilities are the issues encountered. Howeve, the relative satisfaction index computed to show the satisfaction level of the occupants ranked Plumbing services 1st with relative satisfaction index of 0.7772, Cleaning of common services 2nd with relative satisfaction index of 0.718, refuse disposal 3rd with RSI with 0.653 while transformer maintenance has relative satisfaction index of 0 and ranked 13th. A number of guidelines should be taken in order to address the problems identified above which include Improved communication between manager and occupiers, clear disclosure of the basis for apportioning service charge costs between tenants among others.Item Assessment of Residential Building conditions and Property Management Strategies in Minna, Nigeria(UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS, 2016) Rukaiyat Adeola OgunbajoThis study assessed the conditions of leasehold dwelling units and property management strategies in Minna, Nigeria. It sampled 328 dwelling units spread across selected neighbourhoods. Questionnaire were administered and used to solicit relevant data for the study. Simple percentages, total weighted scores, weighted mean, contingency table, chi square distribution, and phi coefficient were used to analyse collated data at various levels of the research. Findings revealed poor conditions of 55.2% of leasehold dwelling units. A computed chi square value (X2 = 48.965) indicated no statistical significant difference in the overall condition of dwelling units across the sampled neighbourhoods. Findings also showed that only 31% of dwelling units are managed by professional estate surveyors, periodic general renovations by property managers were not carried out in any of the sampled units, while 41% of respondents linked the management and maintenance of ancillary facilities in their neighbourhoods to community efforts and contributions. It further revealed that 51% of respondents were not satisfied with the management of their dwelling units, while 84% of residents were not satisfied with the management of ancillary facilities in their neighbourhoods. A chi square value (X2 = 14.965) and phi coefficient (φ = 0.209) revealed a weak, but positive and statistically significant relationship between building conditions and management type in the study area. The study emphasized the significance of effective and efficient management practices as key players in ensuring that residential buildings remain in good and decorative states or repair.
