How Will You Make Sure that
Tenants Take Care of My Property?
Whenever a tenant prepares to move into a property that we manage, there are many things that happen. First, we take photographs of the entire property right before they move in. This is so that we have a digital record of the condition at the beginning of their lease.
We give the tenants our Property Condition Report. They use this document to provide us with information about things they note that they don’t want to be charged for at the end of their lease. These things are normally relatively minor “imperfections” in the home. When they move out of the home, they get this form back and they complete the move-out section.
We also perform quarterly inspections of the property and stay in contact with the tenants throughout the term of their lease. In the event maintenance is needed at the home, we sometimes accompany our contractors and perform an inspection ourselves. Many times, our contractors will perform the inspection for us.
We always encourage the tenants to let us know if something needs attention in your home. It doesn’t matter how minor it may be. It’s much better for them to communicate this to us so we can make minor repairs than have everything put off until the end of the lease.
