Landlords and Tenants Prepare Your Property for Fall

Every season brings different maintenance needs for your rental property. The work to keep the property well maintained and tenants comfortable seems to never end for property managers. Ft. Worth tenants can also have some responsibilities in maintaining the home. A clear definition of tenant responsibilities should be explained in the lease agreement, so that all the needed jobs are taken care of by the right person. Here are some suggestions on how fall maintenance can be divided between tenants and management, so your property is proactively taken care of.

Landlord Responsibilities

     Service heating and air conditioning units.
     Fertilize lawn and prune trees.
     Clean out rain gutters and check for any roof repair needs.
     Have the chimney swept if your unit has a working fireplace.

Tenant Responsibilities

     Inspect doors and windows to make sure they are closing properly.
     Change batteries in any security devices or detectors in the home.
     Get hoses and outdoor equipment cleaned up, winterized, and put away.
     Change filters on and vacuum under appliances and range hoods.
     Take care of designated landscape needs.
