Experience with Travelio Jakarta
I handed my apartment over to Travelio for management a year ago. Within then, I found significant damage: Refrigerator: under 3 years old, broken within a year of Travelio taking over. AC unit: leaking, with water damage as a result. Kitchen cabinets: veneer cover ripped apart. Front door: keys were changed without owners agreement. Toilet door: lock was broken and unable to be used at all. All of this damage occurred less than a year after Travelio managed the property. When I raised this, Travelio management never came back to me. Only silence. They are paid to manage property, take commissions from renters but what they do is just marketing. I never agreed to have my property managed by a MARKETER. Travelio management are morons who only want to rip off property owners for their own gain. All of the damage above, by contract and law, has to be paid by the party who caused them ie. the causer. Travelio instead charge all damages to property owners. Owners hand over their property based on trust. In my case, the care and accountability I expected weren't there. If you're considering a property manager, I'd suggest: document the unit's condition with dated photos before handover, get a written inventory, and clarify in the contract who pays for damage. The best recommendation would be to NOT use Travelio at all.
