As a rental property owner, you need to routinely examine the windows of your rental properties for cracks, water damage, gaps, and other problems. This routine examination should be part of your complete property maintenance plan. The basic window maintenance to be routinely performed includes sealing gaps and changing the weather-stripping. If any of the windows in your Fillmore rental property seep moisture, trap condensation, or are broken, they should be replaced.
Though it might be tempting, it is not a smart idea to ask residents to do maintenance, repairs, or replacement of a rental property’s windows. Even if they have the proper skills, having residents perform repairs creates liability issues. This could bring about bigger problems down the road. There is also no certainty that the maintenance or repair your windows need will be done right. Remember that neglected windows can cause greater property damage further down the road.
Repairing and replacing windows on your own may appear like another good choice, especially if you are trying to save some money. However, even if you know what you are doing, you endanger yourself when you handle a potentially hazardous material such as glass. Furthermore, the proper installation of windows is crucial for their long-term effectiveness and function. For these reasons, tasks like replacing glass panes or even entire windows should be done by the professionals.
Remembering to do regular window maintenance along with everything else you already have to do can be difficult. That’s why Real Property Management Ventura County offers maintenance programs that will take care of all these tasks for you.
