Underworld Property Management: I Keep Vengeful Ghosts in Line with the Residents' Covenant

Chen Mo spent five years in property management, working his way from customer service to fee collection, and from city beautification campaigns to fire inspections. He'd seen every kind of homeowner. Then he switched to Yong'an Property Management and discovered on his first day that every resident was a ghost.

There was the wailing ghost disturbing the neighbors, the rich ghost who'd built an illegal altar on the roof, the deadbeat ghost who refused to pay property fees, and the power thief ghost who'd illegally tapped into the emergency supply. Three previous managers had run away. The residents' group chat was at 99+ in the middle of the night, the security guards were paper figures, and the elevator went down to floor negative eighteen.

Chen Mo had no magic, no System, and no strength that could smash everything with one punch. All he had was an employee badge, a copy of the Residents' Rules, and a work-order app that gave him information but no power.

A wailing ghost causing a disturbance? Post a rectification notice and cut off its incense offerings.

A malevolent god building illegally? Team up with the underworld's urban management bureau and have the fire department shut it down.

An old ghost behind on fees? Publish a payment notice and restrict access to shared spaces.

Head office taking kickbacks? Bundle up the evidence and send it to the underworld's audit department.

The ghosts could fight better than him, head office had more powerful connections, and the developer had more money. But Chen Mo had something none of them did: procedure.

“Please calm down. Let's take a look at Article Seventeen of the Residents' Rules.”
