2018 is here and during the recent holidays, most owners were stressing out because of issues at their rental properties. Thankfully; the holidays, or the other days of the year, don’t have to be this stressful. In this issue of our Westlake Property Management tips we will share with you 4 tips for making the Year 2018 stress free.
Tip #1 – Be Proactive with Preventive Maintenance
Instead of waiting for issues to arise during the holidays, like a non-working furnace or a blocked fireplace, start being proactive with preventive maintenance NOW, by asking your tenants what needs to be fixed in the Ventura rental property rather than waiting for them to call you when the repair has turned into an emergency.
Tip #2 – Make Sure Your Tenants Know How to Reach You
When was the last time you spoke with your tenants over the phone? If it’s been a while, you should make sure that each of your tenants know how to reach you during the day, night, and on weekends, should problems arise at your Westlake rental property.
Tip #3 – Don’t Neglect Safety
One tip that every Westlake Property Management company will agree on, is that you cannot neglect safety, especially during the holidays.
Take the time to reach out to every tenant by confirming that they are being responsible in your rental property by using space heaters responsibly, keeping Christmas trees hydrated, and replacing batteries in carbon monoxide/smoke alarms when they have died.
Tip #4 – Hire A Westlake Property Management Company
Tired of self-managing your rental property? If so, there’s never been a better time than right now to hire a professional property management company in Ventura. We will take the “heavy lifting” off your shoulders and give you the ability to enjoy the holidays without worrying about your rentals.
