These preventative maintenance tasks will save you from costly repairs down the road and will be vital to keeping your tenants loving the property during peak renewal season.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Seasonal maintenance is vital to ensure your tenants\u2019 safety and to protect your property from damage; summer maintenance is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick preventative maintenance task could easily save you thousands of dollars down the road, so you certainly do not want to skip this responsibility. Now is the time to start on your maintenance tasks and summer event planning so your property is ready for the season. These are the keys to remember in order to tackle those vital summer maintenance tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Typical Summer Maintenance Tasks You Need to Perform:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MJdV6PhS-ek\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This comprehensive list will ensure that your property is in tip-top shape. These tasks also address your tenants\u2019 expectations for summer enjoyment, as you address outdoor activities, shared spaces, and amenities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pool Safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Get the pool cleaned and in prime condition for summertime splashes. If you do not have a lifeguard on duty, check to make sure your posted safety signs are visible and aren\u2019t faded by winter weather or the sun.&nbsp; Check that locks and gates are in good condition to further protect young residents in your community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outdoor Amenities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing can kill a summer BBQ faster than a grill that runs out of fuel between burger flips. If you want your residents to use the community space you provide, make sure the propane tank is full and keep an extra one on hand for when your residents need to make a quick switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Learn more: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/outdoor-amenity-ideas-for-your-rental-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Outdoor Amenity Ideas For Your Rental Property<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pull Out the Summer Maintenance Checklist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each season calls for different routine maintenance. Your team should be prepared to add summer chores to their to-do list so summer heat doesn\u2019t cause maintenance emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summer Checklist Example:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Servicing the pool,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cleaning grills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organizing outdoor community areas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjusting the irrigation system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Getting ready for A\/C maintenance calls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the temperatures start to rise, servicing the irrigation system can result in big savings on water usage, prevent landscape damage, and reduce standing water.&nbsp; You should also program your sprinklers to optimal summer use settings, to keep your landscape looking fresh and reduce overwatering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fire Prevention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your property is prepped for high heat and that any fire dangers are removed. Outside, bushes and trees should be trimmed back and dead plants removed. Additionally, make sure any grills owned by the property or your tenants are properly ventilated and positioned away from buildings. Make sure to double-check your local laws about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/c\/ab\/ensure-safety-with-nfpa-fire-extinguisher-requirements\/9ba683603be9fa5395fab901a7de79fe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fire extinguisher requirements for landlords<\/a>.\u00a0 When in doubt, check with your local fire department for recommendations or regulations regarding fire safety best practices to protect your tenants and your investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Service the Air Conditioners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enlist the help of a professional to service the A\/C unit at least once a year. They will be able to check the unit, clean coils, adjust dampers, and look for any other potential problems. It is also important to remove trees, debris, or trash that can obstruct proper operation. These measures can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/2015\/11\/safety-checklist-for-rental-properties\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prolong the life of a heating and air system<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Outdoor Furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Multifamily renters are about to spend more time outdoors, which means any chairs, tables, and umbrellas are going to get a lot of use. Your property will be more inviting and safer if those community fixtures work properly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Send a Friendly Rule Reminder to Residents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The warm weather and late sunset can bring people outside late into the night. Remind your residents of the complex\u2019s quiet hours and any rules about using the pool, grills, and community amenities. Make sure to include information about your guest policies and parking. Be sure to remind your residents about any state and local distancing requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check for Summer-Related State and Local Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that in <a href=\"http:\/\/ota.dc.gov\/page\/summer-housing-code-protections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Washington, D.C., the housing code requires landlords<\/a> to put screens on windows and doors from March 15 through November 15 to protect tenants from insects and pests? Ensure you follow state and local laws for seasonal requirements like this for landlord compliance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Forget About Renewals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Capitalize on summer fun by using this time to ask for renewals while spirits are high. If you host community events, like a BBQ or pool party, and offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/should-you-offer-rent-concessions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">renewal incentives<\/a>. Holiday celebrations, desirable summer amenities like pools and air conditioning, and other similar benefits can be a great way to remind your tenants why they love renting from you. The more you remind your tenants about how much fun it is to live in your property, the more likely they are to stay.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Learn more: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/5-tips-to-maximize-peak-rental-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5 Tips to Maximize Peak Rental Season<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Completing seasonal maintenance is always a chore, but these new obstacles can make it even more challenging to check off your to-do list.
