Addressing small fixes before they become a big problem will save your bottom line and will prevent undue harm to tenants for which you could be liable. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This preventative maintenance is arguably most important during the cold seasons as rain, storms, and frosts all take their toll on your property and its features. With this in mind, it is still important to understand <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/prioritize-maintenance-requests\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to best prioritize your maintenance requests<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;especially in light of current social distancing recommendations and restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typical Fall Maintenance to Conduct at Your Rental Properties:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under normal circumstances, your autumn maintenance list should include a few key tasks. These include building interior, building exterior, and landscaping tasks that will prepare your property for any inclement weather as the season progresses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Interior Fall Maintenance Tasks Include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweep and animal proof chimneys<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check door and window\u2019s weather stripping<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Exterior Fall Maintenance Tasks Include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean gutters and add gutter covers to prevent clogging from debris<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/critter-prevention-animal-control-for-landlords\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animal proof attics and basements<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check railways and stairwells to ensure <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/slip-prevention\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">proper slip prevention<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Landscaping Fall Maintenance Tasks Include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reset irrigation systems to prepare for wetter conditions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winterize sprinkler and irrigation depending on local climate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove branches that could prove hazardous during a storm<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Address Fall Maintenance During COVID-19<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since COVID-19 spread remains a real concern, it is important to conduct preventative maintenance with plenty of notice and ensure that your tenants and your maintenance crew understand your social distancing guidelines for when you or a vendor needs to enter the rental property.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Find out more tips on how to stay safe during maintenance: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/maintenance-covid-19\/\">Property Maintenance During Covid-19<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pass these tips to your tenants: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/maintenance-visit-during-covid19\/\">How To Prep For A Maintenance Visit During Covid-19<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also important to understand your area\u2019s current risk of COVID spread and if any local stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders are in effect. This can help you assess how to conduct preventive fall maintenance in light of COVID-19 and can help you decide when the best time to do it will be. Certain annual maintenance or inspections, for instance, may be best to defer if at all possible, but it may not be advisable to wait on winterizing tasks if you want to ensure a habitable property (and avoid expensive repairs down the line).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final Thoughts:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Completing seasonal maintenance is always a chore, and the new obstacles to conducting fall maintenance with COVID are an added challenge. Ensuring that you are well-versed in your local or state regulations, understand current CDC recommendations, and that you have access to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/the-importance-of-vendor-screening-for-landlords\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">great vendors that ensure compliance with your policies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, will go a long way to overcoming any challenges brought about by COVID this fall.
