Basic maintenance of your property

Maintenance performed on a regular and scheduled basis may help prevent potential breakdowns and/or malfunctions. Beyond maintenance for operational sake, the primary reason for checking, inspecting, and constantly tuning up your property is to ensure maximum safety. As a Landlord it is in your best interest to provide basic upkeep of your rental property.  This may include but not be limited to:

• Perform an annual test of all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
• Make sure that light bulb sizes do not exceed the maximum wattage label found on light fixtures.
• Clean and/or replace furnace filters as manufacturer recommended. Service heating and cooling systems annually.
• Test the water-heater pressure and temperature-relief valve for proper operation and drain settlement off the water heater every 6 months.
• Install a lint trap on the washing machine drain and change regularly.
• Prune trees and shrubs.
• Take a walk around your property every now and then to make sure everything is in good condition.
• Test the auto-reverse safety feature on garage-door openers.
