Preventive Maintenance for Rental Properties

 Being a rental property owner/manager means juggling a lot of balls.  One of those, sometimes several, are property maintenance issues.  

Either it's a short term rental issue where the renter is not really expected to do much, if anything, in regard to maintenance or customization issues. They are there for a "hotel" experience.   The ongoing issues at the property aren't theirs to worry about.

In a long term rental situation,  many times, the renter is responsible for day-to-day issues. The problem seems to be that most owners/managers find that the renters aren't very good at, or concerned about, actually doing those things.   Which lead to more expensive failures and problems down the road.

Many owners/managers don't have the resources to keep a full time employee on to handle these issues.  I offer a solution that gives them a valuable compromise to address the situation. 

I offer a monthly preventive maintenance service that includes a minimum 12 point inspection of property concerns and handles change or replacement of related consumables like batteries, light bulbs, and filters.  The inspection also will include seasonal and variable timed issues and provide notes and suggestions based on those issues observed. 

That service alone prevents many,  much more expensive and potentially damaging problems.  But the agreement can also include a discount on labor rates to address additional services related to the inspections.   The discounted rate also applies to services not related to the inspections. 

This provides the owner/manager with a solution in that they don't have to fully employ someone to address the rental property concerns but has a reliable, insured, professional to take care of issues as they come up.

This is a valuable service not only for rental properties,  but also for properties of seniors and people who are medically or otherwise unable to do these services for themselves. 

The service agreement includes:

*Complete confidentiality 

*Remote locked keybox (to ensure any keys for access to property are secure)

*Photos and scanned documentation of all services provided, accessible via online site.

*Additional access to common handyman repair, assembly, installation, signage, and hauling services.

A Smart system only as smart as it needs to be

 Smart devices have gone through their entry level phases and the technology has begun to mature.  This in good for usability, prices, and overall operability.   However, in some cases, there can be such a thing as "too smart." Smart "systems" are the network connected collection of devices and services that is put together in a business or home that is interfunctional.  Often with an "Assistant" debicecsnd system coordinating the whole shebang.  Assistants like Alexa, Google Home, or even the Apple whatever it is.  These are usually represented with a speaker and/or video component such as the Google Nest or Alexa Echo. The "dumbest" smart devices operate as mostly standalone items that do simple tasks independent of other devices in the network.  A doorlock that is controlled only at the door with a key, code, or fob perhaps.  A smart thermostat that only does thermostat things when you give a voice command or operate it from a smartphone a...

Ceiling fan light fixtures

 This apartment customer needed to install a couple of ceiling fans.  A combined LED circuit light with fan inside in a bedroom,  and a more traditional ceiling fan with light kit for the living room. Note to apartment building managers... Wiring should be a uniform scheme throughout the building.  Not however the electrician at the time feels like doing whatever unit they happen to be in.  It helps.
