Three Ways Property Maintenance Pays Off

Property maintenance is a huge part of home ownership that many people don’t really understand or consider when purchasing a home. If you own a rental property, then your maintenance responsibilities increase exponentially. You can’t afford to put property maintenance on the back burner though. Here are three reasons why:

1. Increase tenant satisfaction

No matter how diligent you are about attending to the maintenance requests of your renters, they will likely get tired of having an issue with items that need to be repaired, updated or otherwise worked on if it happens too often. Regular maintenance can spot smaller problems before they become larger ones that result in a broken air conditioner, for example, or a leaking washing machine.

2. Maximize your time

As mentioned above, regular maintenance can help you spot small issues before they blossom into larger ones. This can give you time to fix them before they become more serious — and potentially more costly — problems. During your regular maintenance in inspecting the washer and dryer, for instance, you might notice a pipe connection that is becoming weakened at the joint. Replacing this issue at the time you find it will take you less time than waiting until it starts leaking.

3. Save money

Not surprisingly, when you maximize your time you also have the potential to save money as well. Going back to the example of the weakening pipe connection, finding the issue during your routine maintenance can head off a leak from the pipe. This leak, especially if it isn’t caught in time, can lead to flooding of the room where the washer is located. Flooding could potentially ruin the surrounding materials including the floor, walls and your tenant’s belongings.
