Property maintenance shouldn't be something that you do only occasionally or when you are able to. It should be a daily practice, often in tandem with the changing seasons.

Property managers are responsible for maximising profitability and minimizing time spent thinking about their properties. While property maintenance can take up a lot of time, it can also help maximize profits by keeping repairs costs low, keeping residents happy, and generating referrals.

If you still manage maintenance on an episodic basis, this is the time to look at your processes and services.

In an apartment complex, a tenant notices a leak coming from the ceiling so they submit a maintenance request through a community portal. The property manager is notified of this request and assigns it to a technician. After the technician finds a temporary solution, they contact a plumbing contractor that permanently fixes the problem.

You can't care for a condo community, hotel, apartment building or individual home if it isn't well-maintained. This will ensure your occupants are safe and happy, and they will be more likely to rent and recommend your properties in the future.

If you're still managing to manage maintenance on an individual basis, now is the right time to examine your services, processes, and to revise and add regular maintenance checklists to your plan.
