An experienced property management company can really help protect your Orlando rental properties and keep them in in good condition. Damage caused by tenants can costs thousands, even tens of thousands to repair.
Here are a few ways a professional property management company can help prevent your tenants from damaging your property:
Tenant Screening
When screening potential tenants, their rental history will be checked. If they have a history of damaging property, not paying rent, or causing problems, they will not be offered the opportunity to rent your property.
Implementing a strict no-smoking policy.
Cigarette smoke can damage walls, ceilings, and floors. It can also cause stains on carpets and upholstery.
Enforce pet policies
Pets can damage floors, walls, and doors. They can also cause stains on carpets and upholstery.
Requiring and collecting a security deposit
A security deposit will give you some financial protection in case your tenant does damage the property.
Inspecting the property regularly
Inspecting the property on a regular basis will allow you to catch any damage early on and make repairs before the damage becomes extensive.
Having a strict late payment policy
If your tenant is consistently late on their rent, they may be more likely to damage the property in an attempt to get out of their lease.
Clear expectations
When signing a lease with a tenant, a good property manager will review all your expectations for care of the property. If the tenants understand what is expected of them, they are more likely to take care of the property.
Being available to your tenants.
If your tenants have any questions or concerns, they have immediate 24/7 access to the property management company. With proven systems in place, the management company can immediately address issues before they become larger problems.
Take action when there is damage.
If it is discovered that a tenant has caused damage to the property, action is taken immediately, to repair the damage, and to recoup repair costs if appropriate.
Evictions
If your tenant is damaging the property, a property management company can handle the eviction process so that you don’t have to. They have the legal expertise and experience to make sure the process is handled efficiently and according to the law.
