There are ways of making spring cleaning the properties in your property management Clearwater business easier. Here are a few ways:

  1. Start by clearly defining a schedule and stick to it. When you have a plan and involve your tenants in it, they will be more likely to cooperate and also help in any way they can. You can schedule routine maintenance including annual carpet cleaning, window cleaning, and installation of smoke detector alarm batteries etc at this time. Tenants will also report repairs and it is important that you work on these promptly before they pile up.
  2. Warm weather also brings heavy usage of air conditioning. So, spring is the ideal time of the year to check and replace the air conditioning filters. This can help make the units more energy efficient, not to mention the lowering of the utility bills. Tenants must also be encouraged to report cracks and loose seals in windows from where the cool air may be escaping making the home inefficient.
  3. Spring cleaning also includes throwing out the old stuff to make way for the new. Why not bring in the tenants to hold an annual garage sale so they can get rid of things they do not want? This gives you a chance to help tenants de-clutter so unsightly objects are not stored in the patios.

These are a few methods using which you can kick start your spring cleaning program.
