🎬 Hook: [Phone ringing at 6am, groggy face] A tenant called me at 6am because...

🎬 Hook: [Calendar: 1st of the month] Rent was due yesterday.
📱 Body: Me: ‘Just checking in, rent hasn’t come through.’ Tenant: ‘I’ll send it tomorrow.’ [Text overlay: TOMORROW] Me: ‘Tomorrow as in today?’ Tenant: ‘Haha yeah.’ [Venmo notification] Rent received. 11:59pm. Perfect.
Video 3: "The Inspection Surprise" [20s]
🎬 Hook: [Walking to front door] Arrived for a routine inspection and walked into this.
📱 Body: [Reveal: burgundy accent wall, neon sign, floating shelves, all unauthorized] I love what they’ve done with the place… That’s a deposit deduction. All in the lease. All documented. That’s why you have a PM.
Video 4: "May 1 Turnover Chaos" [24s]
🎬 Hook: [Clock hitting 9am May 1] May 1st. Busiest day in property management.
📱 Body: [Old tenant still packing | New tenant outside with moving truck] Old tenant: ‘One more hour.’ New tenant: ‘I’m here.’ [PM on phone, speed-walking] Coordinating three cleaners, a locksmith, and my lunch. [New tenant happy, key in hand] Moved in by 2pm. Nobody lost their mind.
Video 5: "The Pet Escalation" [22s]
🎬 Hook: A tenant asked about their pet situation. I thought it’d be quick.
📱 Body: First: ‘Can we get a small dog?’ Sure, deposit applies. Then: ‘It might be medium.’ Then: ‘And my sister’s cat.’ Lease says no. Then: ‘What about a bunny?’ I called them. Bunny: approved. Extra cat: no. Lease updated. Everyone happy.
Video 6: "Priced Right vs. Priced Wrong" [20s]
🎬 Hook: [Split screen: two identical units] Same neighborhood. Same size. Same amenities.
📱 Body: Unit A: priced at market. Rented in 5 days. Unit B: 3% higher. Sat for 38 days. [Calculator] Unit B lost more to vacancy than the higher rent earns back in a year. 3% overpriced. One month of rent. Gone.
Video 7: "The 'Urgent' Maintenance Request" [20s]
🎬 Hook: Tenant marked the maintenance ticket: URGENT.
📱 Body: Moved three things to get there. [Arrive] The urgent issue, [reveal: light switch that clicks when turned on] It’s a switch. They all click. Fixed in four seconds. Still logged it. Because that’s professionalism.
Video 8: "The Rent Cap Conversation" [22s]
🎬 Hook: Told a tenant rent was going up. Here’s how it went.
📱 Body: Me: ‘Per WA’s 2026 rent cap, 9.683%.’ Tenant: ‘Can we negotiate?’ Me: ‘That’s… the legal max. We’re not going higher.’ Tenant: ‘Oh. So you’re being fair?’ Me: ‘Correct.’ Tenant: ‘That seems reasonable.’…sometimes it just goes fine.
Video 9: "Move-Out Damage Tour" [22s]
🎬 Hook: [Walking empty unit] Move-out inspection. Two bedroom unit.
📱 Body: [Pan slowly] Scuffed walls, repaint. Broken cabinet, quick fix. Carpet stain, photographed clean on move-in. Door hole; I have photos. Every deduction itemized. Move-in photos: priceless.
Video 10: "30 Days Vacant to Revenue" [18s]
🎬 Hook: [Empty apartment] 30 days ago this was vacant.
📱 Body: [Fast montage: photos, listing, showings, signing, move-in] Listed at market. 7 inquiries in 48 hours. 3 applications. 1 great tenant. [Rent notification] Moved in. Paying. Owner hasn’t thought about it once.
Video 11: "The Neighbor Complaint Chain" [22s]
🎬 Hook: One complaint turned into three in 20 minutes.
📱 Body: Tenant A: ‘Unit B is loud at 11pm.’ Me to B: ‘Quiet hours apply.’ B: ‘Actually it was Unit C.’ Me to C: ‘Hey, quick reminder.’ C: ‘I thought it was Tenant A?’ [PM staring at phone] Ten minutes of diplomacy. Quiet hours agreed. No one called back that week.
Video 12: "The ADU Reveal" [20s]
🎬 Hook: This Kirkland owner didn’t know their lot could hold 4 rental units.
📱 Body: [Single-family home] Standard single-family lot. Washington’s middle housing law allows up to 4 units per lot here. [Diagram: 1 home becomes 4 units] Currently: one rent. With middle housing: four. Same lot. Same address. They booked a consultation.

Frequently asked questions
What is a "Things My Renters Did This Week" video series?
It is a recurring short video series. A property manager retells real moments from the job, one story per clip. The Kirkland edition maps out twelve episodes, such as The 6AM Fridge Call, The Inspection Surprise, Move-Out Damage Tour and The ADU Reveal. Each clip runs 15 to 25 seconds and ends with one call to action.
How do you actually shoot and structure one of these videos?
Each video pairs a spoken voiceover with simple b-roll. You narrate the story while the footage carries the visuals. Good b-roll includes your phone screen, walks through units, keys, paperwork and your own face reacting. Open with a hook line. Use text overlays sparingly, for key numbers and punchlines only. Finish with one call to action.
How much effort does a series like this take each week?
Three posts a week, each 15 to 25 seconds long, plus time to reply to comments. The raw material comes from work you already do. The b-roll is plain on purpose: a phone screen, keys, paperwork, a walk through a unit. The post asks for calm, unpolished delivery, not production value. The real work is staying consistent and replying fast.
When should I post, and how long before I know it is working?
Post on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday rhythm, in the 7am to 9am or 6pm to 9pm windows. The series is an ongoing habit, not a one week campaign. Judge it by the number that pays your bills, and track that instead of view counts.
What is the most common mistake property managers make with this format?
Overproducing the videos and outsourcing the thinking. The post wants a calm, dry, matter of fact delivery, with no drama and no polish. Text overlays stay sparing. AI is a power tool, not a strategist. Automate behind the scenes, but stay personal on the front line. One tool used daily beats five you barely touch.
How do I get started with my own version of this series?
Start by listing the moments that already repeat in your week. Then write a one line hook for each, the way the post does with “Rent was due yesterday” or “Move-out inspection. Two bedroom unit.” Tag posts with #PropertyManagement, #KirklandRentals and #SeattleRentals. For a monthly calendar built for you, Kihan Marketing offers a free strategy call at (425) 954-3452.
Should property management TikTok videos be funny?
Yes, but dry rather than loud. The scripts get their laughs from real situations, like a 6am call about a normal fridge hum or an urgent ticket for a clicking light switch. The voiceover stays calm and matter of fact. Most videos end by showing the job done right: logged, documented or covered by the lease.
Can these videos reach property owners as well as renters?
Yes. Several scripts speak straight to owners. Priced Right vs. Priced Wrong shows what overpricing costs in vacancy. 30 Days Vacant to Revenue walks a unit from empty to rented. The Rent Cap Conversation covers Washington’s legal limit, and The ADU Reveal shows how the middle housing law can add units to a lot.
How much does it cost to have a TikTok and Reels calendar built?
It depends on the work the calendar contains. The main factors are how many videos go out each week and how many platforms they go to. Adding paid social behind the posts widens the scope too. The pricing page explains what moves the size of an engagement, or you can start with a marketing audit.
