Rental properties come with their pros and cons. There might be noisy neighbors, but one can also enjoy an affordable, temporary abode. Tenants also benefit from not having to deal with all the maintenance themselves; property managers are in charge of that. As a manager or landlord, you will most likely run into these common rental property repairs.
Leaky Roofs
Roofs usually last for several decades, but strong winds or heavy rains can quickly reveal a chink in the design. Leaky roofs can cause walls and ceilings to become moist, which can lead to dangerous mold growth if not dealt with promptly.
Plumbing Problems
Plumbing problems can also cause leaks in walls and ceilings. If piping resides in uninsulated areas, the air pressure within it could burst the pipe. Clogged drains and toilets and broken fixtures are also common. If something is stuck in the sink or shower, a drain cleaner might fix the problem.
HVAC Repair
HVAC repair is also not uncommon and can be on the costlier side of rental property repairs. There could be leaky refrigerant, dirty vents, clogged air filters, or mechanical issues. HVAC experts recommend getting it checked once in the spring and once in the fall, especially for commercial-grade systems.
Appliance Failure
Appliances, particularly kitchen appliances, will inevitably break down someday. At the very least, a past tenant might have left the refrigerator with stains on the shelves and doors. When maintaining units between tenants, be sure to clean the refrigerator coils to prevent overheating.
Mold
In Maryland, humidity is a never-ending issue. Rental property repairs often involve mold remediation, often in bathrooms and kitchens. Mold can be highly toxic to inhabitants, causing nausea, vertigo, and migraines.
Dirty Carpets
Dirty or smelly carpets are a big red flag to prospective tenants. Thankfully, you don’t have to rip out the carpet necessarily. North Arundel Contracting offers carpet sanitation, deodorization, and cleaning for carpets in rental units. They also provide services for all of the above rental property problems and work with many HOAs and property management companies throughout Maryland. If you are looking for a full-service contractor you can count on long-term, contact North Arundel Contracting.
