Throughout the life of any property, there will be ongoing maintenance issues, some minor wear and tear and other more significant issues that will need to be dealt with swiftly. Depending on your state’s legislation, there are different rules around the action that needs to be taken when a tenant reports a maintenance issue.
Let’s have a look at some of the common maintenance issues.
Minor wear and tear – this includes issues such as light globes requiring replacement, washers wearing out and leaking plumbing. As isolated occurrences, these are relatively harmless, but if left unchecked, can escalate.
Urgent/major repairs – these require urgent attention and include burst hot water service, gas leaks, breakdown of heating or a roof leak. Not attending to these issues can have serious legal ramifications and can cause damage to your property.
A good property manager acts as the liaison between the landlord, tenant, and trades, working to restore the property to good order as quickly as possible.
