Preparing Your Rental Properties for Summer: A Maintenance Checklist

By Dane Brower | February 27th, 2023

Summer weather brings its own set of challenges for rental properties, with heat, storms, and increased foot traffic all putting extra wear and tear on your properties. As a landlord, it’s essential to prepare your rental properties for the summer months to ensure that they are protected and that your tenants are safe and comfortable. In this article, we’ll provide a comprehensive checklist to help you prepare your rental properties for summer.

Inspect the Air Conditioning System: Make sure that your air conditioning system is in good working order before the summer heat sets in. Schedule a routine maintenance check, and replace any filters to ensure that your system is running efficiently.
Check the Exterior: Inspect the exterior of your rental properties for any damage from the winter months, such as cracked sidewalks or damaged siding. Make any necessary repairs to ensure that your properties look their best and are protected from further damage.
Inspect the Landscaping: Summer is a time for lush, green landscapes, so it’s essential to make sure that your rental properties look their best. Trim back any overgrown shrubs or trees, and make sure that the lawn is well-maintained.
Address Any Pests: Summer is peak season for pests, so be sure to inspect your rental properties for any signs of infestation. If you find any pests, be sure to address the problem promptly to prevent it from becoming a larger issue.
Check the Pool and Outdoor Areas: If your rental properties have a pool or outdoor areas, make sure that they are in good working order and that any necessary repairs have been made. This will ensure that your tenants can enjoy these areas safely and comfortably.
Inspect the Windows and Doors: Check all windows and doors to ensure that they are in good working order and that they provide adequate ventilation for the summer months. Make any necessary repairs, and consider installing screens to keep out unwanted insects.

In conclusion, preparing your rental properties for the summer months is an important part of maintaining and protecting your investment. By following this checklist, you can ensure that your properties are in good condition and ready to provide a comfortable and safe home for your tenants.

I rarely write reviews and felt the need to commend Erika O. at Mark Brower Properties for her excellent customer service. Shortly after I moved in to my home, Erika was a valuable resource by helping coordinate minor repair jobs with maintenance and other vendors while maintaining continual contact with me throughout the process. Thank you Erika and Mark Brower Properties for valuing quality properties and employees.

Not transparent, it will take your application fee and then deny you.

Highy recommend Mark Brower Properties to anyone needing realty services. They managed our rental for years and when the time came to sell, they stepped right in. Lisa was amazing to work with. She was knowledgeable and very efficient! She lead the way throughout the process and kept us in the loop providing guidance the whole time. We sold our property very quickly and couldn’t be happier! Thank you, again, Lisa!

I’ve been with Mark Brower property management for almost a year now, and just renewed for another year. This company has been really helpful and easy to work with, I’ve never had any problems getting a hold of someone and they are very friendly. Rose and Marj and Isabelle have all helped me at certain points and are very focused on helping their tenants. They have a new portal that is easy to use. They worked with me from moving out of state for a job, and made the process very smooth and even left us some welcome gifts when we arrived. I would recommend!
