As a property manager, you’ve already got enough on your plate. You’re keeping current tenants happy, completing regular building maintenance, and making sure that you’re familiar with all applicable laws and codes. The last thing you need to worry about is what happens when a tenant leaves your property in bad shape, or you sustain other significant damage. In today’s blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the best practices that property management professionals can take during the rental property restoration process.
First and foremost, addressing problems quickly will assist you in the remediation process. If the damage can be assessed and repaired as soon as possible, the overall costs of fixing things may be lower. This not only applies to the repair process but also the fees associated with having an empty unit. This might include finding new tenants, an extended period where you cannot collect rent, or other issues that can compound the original problem.
The second suggestion for property managers involves how often you visit your properties. While dropping in on your tenants is not always a wise decision, walking your property inside and out once or twice a year can allow you to observe potential future problems. Proactively correcting issues can avoid costly repairs in the future. If you communicate regularly with your tenants, encourage them to report things quickly to help you in this process.
Third, finding the right team of professionals will save you stress, time, and money. Restoration services for commercial and rental properties can involve unique structural, plumbing, and environmental factors that will require additional attention.
