Maintaining a property effectively is one of the most important aspects of property management.
1. Implement Preventive Maintenance Schedules
Don't wait for things to break. Create regular maintenance schedules for critical systems like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical.
2. Respond Quickly to Work Orders
Tenant satisfaction is directly linked to response times. Aim to acknowledge requests within 24 hours.
3. Keep Detailed Records
Document every maintenance activity, repair, and inspection for budgeting and insurance.
4. Build Relationships with Reliable Contractors
Having trusted contractors means faster response times and better pricing.
5. Use Technology
Modern platforms can automate work order tracking, schedule preventive maintenance, and provide real-time visibility.
