Property Management Tips For Winning The Battle Against Wear And Tear On Your Rental
If you own rental properties in the Central Valley, or elsewhere in the United States, you know that wear and tear is always a battle that you’re always going to be fighting.
As with any other house in the United States, when the home is occupied there’s going to be certain things that will be natural victims of wear and tear like flooring, walls and appliances.
In this article we will provide you with tips you can use that will make winning the battle against wear and tear a lot easier.
Tip 1- Ditch the Carpet
Although you may love carpeting, the reality is that carpeting is not user friendly in a Modesto Home for Rent and should be removed in favor of hard surfaces like vinyl.
Vinyl flooring is EASY to clean up after spills or accidents and it will retain its look / value over the years compared to carpeting which will need to be replaced especially after tenants with small children live in your rental home.
Tip 2 – Give Your Tenants a Vacuum Cleaner for the Rental
Let’s say you have a new tenant who just moved into your Modesto Home for Rent, but you know that they don’t have a lot of money or possessions since they just moved from out of state.
What’s the solution to the problem?
Buy your tenant a vacuum which will clean both carpeting and the floor as well. Doing this will insure that the flooring in your rental property stays clean since most people don’t like to live in a home with dirty floors.
Tip 3 – Be More Proactive About Wear And Tear
During the course of the next year that a tenant lives in your Modesto Home for Rent there may be regular wear and tear including broken window screens, holes in walls and issues that most homes face during the year.
The solution to staying on top of wear and tear in a home is to stay proactive about dealing with it and encouraging or offering your tenants incentives to report it when wear and tear occurs.
This will solve the problem of you having to deal with fixing a lot of wear and tear in your Home for Rent after your tenant moves out.
