Repair management

You know, because you’re a landlord in San Diego, you take on a lot of responsibilities. You must see to it that rent is collected on time, taxes are paid promptly, and the upkeep of the property is maintained. Of course, that means doing repair work when it is necessary. Some repairs may be minor and easily managed, while others can be more time-consuming and expensive. It helps if you create a plan for repair management you can follow without too many problems.

Repair Management Is Essential 

Regular property repairs will preserve the property value but, more importantly, they are an excellent way to prevent minor issues from becoming major expenses. You can schedule regular inspections to see if there are any problems. Of course, you must plan these inspections with the tenant.

It helps if you have a protocol where tenants can immediately report any repair problems, especially emergencies such as air conditioning failures and major plumbing leaks. Tenants are to know the points of contact for any repair problems and when those problems will be addressed. A smart property owner in San Diego will guarantee that repairs are done as soon as possible.

Managing Difficult Repairs 

Most repairs are not significant, but some certainly are. How you handle these will impact your relationships with your existing tenants. We already mentioned the importance of scheduling repair inspections with the tenants and dealing with major problems immediately. Here are some other ideas.

• Maintain constant communication with the tenant. Be sure to email, telephone, or text the tenant with any updates on repair activity. Please do not wait for them to contact you.
• Be ready for alternative housing. Some repairs may require several days of work. That is going to inconvenience the tenant. Be prepared to offer alternative housing, such as a room in a hotel, if the repairs take more than 48 hours.
• Trust your contractors. It means that you must be able to take the word of the contractor as far as the costs and the time required for repairs. That is not always simple because even though many repair contractors are highly ethical, a few are trying to pad the bill.
• Allow professionals to manage repair activity. Let’s face it, you are a terribly busy person, and although repair work is necessary, it can eat into your precious time. Property management companies in San Diego provide many services for their clients. These establishments can also take over the repair and maintenance schedules and often have a list of reputable contractors with whom they work. Alta Vista Properties is a property management company in San Diego with a vast experience in repair management.
