Background of the Study
Commercial real estate management is crucial for the sustainability and profitability of properties in urban environments. In Jos, Plateau State, where the commercial sector has been growing due to increasing business activities and urbanization, effective property management practices have become essential for maximizing property value and ensuring tenant satisfaction (Jiboye & Oladokun, 2023). Commercial property management involves various activities such as lease management, maintenance, tenant relations, and financial management, all of which are vital for the smooth operation of commercial properties (Abubakar & Waziri, 2024).
Jos has seen an increase in demand for office spaces, retail outlets, and other commercial properties as businesses expand in the state. However, challenges in property management, including poor maintenance, ineffective communication with tenants, and inconsistent enforcement of lease terms, have resulted in suboptimal performance of some commercial properties (Rashid & Suleiman, 2023). The impact of these management issues on tenants and property owners is significant, affecting both rental yields and the overall attractiveness of commercial properties in the city.
Effective property management is essential for maintaining the financial viability of commercial properties and ensuring that they meet the needs of tenants. This study will assess the current practices in commercial property management in Jos, identifying strengths and weaknesses in these practices and offering recommendations for improvement.

These challenges have resulted in tenant dissatisfaction and financial losses for property owners. However, there has been limited research on commercial property management practices in Jos, leaving a gap in knowledge that needs to be addressed.
