Why Maintenance Is Important
Property management is the act of cleaning, repairing, and doing safety checks throughout a building. By doing so, it increases tenant satisfaction and guests who visit them are more impressed. This improves a company’s reputation while leading to higher retention of tenants and perhaps business from visitors too. Some routine property maintenance and repairs can include regular cleaning, walkthroughs, and HVAC filter replacements. Reactive maintenance may entail repairing drain clogs, fixing flooding, and replacing appliance failures. When a property does not have an appealing appearance, it can discourage potential tenants from considering a lease. It is important to the health and safety of current tenants to keep the area as free from hazards and dangers as can be prevented.
How To Upkeep Your Property
An example of property maintenance and repairs would be if a tenant observes a leak from the ceiling and they send a request for maintenance. The property manager is informed of this request and assigns it to the appropriate technician. Once the technician finds a temporary solution, they can hire a plumbing contractor that permanently addresses the issue. However, this can take hours or days, but the leak should be corrected as soon as possible so that minimal damage is caused to the rental property. Other forms of property maintenance and repairs that may need to be done could include:
- Cleaning gutters
- Building repairs
- Landscaping
- Roofing
- Pest control
- Electric power system
- Exterior maintenance
- Common areas
- Groundskeeping
- Garbage disposals
- Handling tenant communication
- Window and door maintenance

Property Maintenance And Repairs FAQs
Managing the condition of a rental property is one of the most important responsibilities we have as a property management company.

We offer free property management strategy calls along. Call us today or reach out to us via our contact page.
What Maintenance Do Property Managers Handle?
Property managers are responsible for routine, preventative, and emergency maintenance tasks. This includes things like HVAC filter changes, plumbing checks, electrical repairs, seasonal upkeep, lawn care coordination, and ensuring that safety features like smoke detectors are working. We also handle tenant repair requests and work with reliable contractors to get jobs done quickly and professionally. The goal is to keep your property in solid condition, reduce long-term repair costs, and keep tenants satisfied so they stay longer.
How Do Property Managers Handle Emergency Repairs?
Emergency repairs are handled with urgency and a clear process. When a tenant calls with an emergency—like a major water leak, no heat in the winter, or an electrical issue—we respond immediately. We have systems in place to dispatch qualified contractors, even after hours or on weekends. Property owners are notified about the issue and the action taken. Fast response times prevent further damage and help avoid bigger problems down the road, which protects the value of your rental investment.
Are Repair Costs Covered In The Property Management Fee?
Repair costs are not included in the standard monthly property management fee. Most property management agreements treat maintenance and repairs as separate expenses that are billed to the property owner. However, we coordinate the entire process—from getting quotes to overseeing the work. We also notify you when repairs exceed a pre-agreed dollar amount. This approach allows you to control spending while still benefiting from our full coordination of repairs and vendor relationships.
Can A Property Manager Schedule And Supervise Repairs?
Yes, we handle all aspects of scheduling and supervising repairs. Once an issue is reported, we contact the appropriate vendor, arrange access to the property, and follow up to confirm the work is completed. This means you don’t need to be involved in the day-to-day tasks of coordinating with contractors. Whether it’s a simple plumbing fix or a larger maintenance project, we take care of the communication, oversight, and follow-through. Property owners appreciate the time this saves and the confidence it provides.
How Often Should Property Maintenance Be Done?
We recommend regular seasonal maintenance and annual inspections. For example, HVAC systems should be serviced twice a year, gutters should be cleaned in the spring and fall, and safety checks should be done annually. Ongoing attention to these items helps reduce unexpected repairs and extends the life of major systems. A well-maintained property keeps tenants happy and protects your investment over time. As part of our property maintenance and repairs services, we keep a schedule to make sure nothing gets missed.
