In the next few blogs, we will go over the major things that need to be done to a home before it is rentable. There are many small details that are best handled by an expert from Real Property Rental, but as landlord, you should know what needs to be done. If you work with new build homes, you may not have to do all these items, but they should each be checked anyway.
Redo the locks
- Re-key all exterior doors and change codes for the garage door and alarm. Don’t forget the mailbox, side gate, and shed.
Have the home professionally cleaned
- Hire a company to clean your home top to bottom. You will be able to rest assured that new tenants will be pleased with the results.
Touch up the yard
- Either hire someone or take the time to mow the grass, pull the weeds, prune the trees, and add some flowering plants if the season is right.
Don’t forget the fans!
- This is especially important if you are renting an older property. Fans build up dust and can be a nasty surprise for new tenants. Make sure they are clean!
