The majority of people in the United States pay rent in order to live in their home or apartment. And almost everyone in the United States has lived in a rental at some point in their life. So most of us are very familiar with the life of a renter and all that it entails including dealing with landlords and property management companies.
Having a great property management taking care of your rental can be a huge relief when it comes to property maintenance and repair. One benefit to being a renter is that most of the time your landlord or property management company is responsible for repairing the appliances in your home and, in some cases, taking care of any lawn or yard maintenance.
Management companies deal with this kind of maintenance all the time. Listed below are some of the most common types of maintenance and repair that property management companies deal with.
General Maintenance or Repair
If your dishwasher stops working, your fridge stops cooling, your oven stops heating, your disposal stops grinding, or your clothes washer or dryer breaks, a quick call to your property management company can get it taken care of in a timely manner. Repair and maintenances on household appliances is one of the most common problems that a property management company deals with.
Other general maintenance might be done on furnaces, water heaters, air conditioners, or any other type of household machine that requires professional repair. Broken cupboards, cracked windows, or broken doors might also fall under the jurisdiction of the property management company.
Flooring and Carpeting Repair and Replacement
One of the most common types of rental maintenance for a property management company is carpeting. It is very common in rentals for a portion of the renter's deposit to go towards the cleaning of the carpets after the renter moves out. In some cases, especially when pets have been living in the home, it might be necessary for the carpet to be replaced. This is another job performed by your property management company.
Lawn Care
In rentals like town homes where there is some type of yard or outdoor commons area, the property management company is in charge of the lawn care. Things like mowing the grass, edging, raking leaves, pruning trees and shrubs, weeding common area flower beds, or fertilizing and aerating the grass would be the responsibility of the company workers.
