Summer Maintenance Tips for Rental Properties

1. Air Conditioning

The #1 summer maintenance call.

• Change filters.
• Clean the condenser coils (outside unit) of pollen and debris.
• Check refrigerant levels if the unit isn't cooling well.

2. Landscaping

Grass grows fast. Ensure your lease specifies who mows the lawn. If it's you, schedule regular service. Trim bushes away from the house to deter pests.

3. Pest Control

Ants, wasps, and roaches are active. Spray the perimeter and address tenant reports of pests immediately.

4. Decks and Patios

Check for loose boards or nails. Power wash and seal decks if needed to prevent rot.

Conclusion

Summer is also a great time for exterior painting and roof repairs while the weather is dry.
