Individuals with allergies often feel that even the smallest things in their home trigger their symptoms. The impact of allergies can range from a slight inconvenience to a potentially fatal condition. Pet allergies are common, and seasonal allergies are even more widespread. Given this, it’s plausible that at least one tenant in your Hot Springs Village single-family homes might be particularly sensitive to some allergens.
What can landlords do to help tenants with allergies?
Although tenants must manage their own allergies, it is your duty to present a clean rental home to new tenants.
Should you permit tenants to keep pets, it’s vital to thoroughly clean the property between tenants to reduce allergens.
Keep your property professionally maintained
Renters frequently fail to deep clean the house before moving out. Assuming everything is clean can cause unexpected problems for you and your new tenant. If new tenants find the house still dirty from previous tenants, they have a strong case for claiming it affects their health.
Because of this, always ensure professional cleaning and maintenance are done thoroughly. In addition to routine cleaning, it’s important to regularly replace filters in your rental homes. Verify and ensure these tasks are completed, as tenants may neglect them. Additionally, professional home and carpet cleaning enhances the home’s appearance and prolongs the flooring’s life.
Potential consequences for property owners
Poor cleaning can result in various issues for property owners, including dirt accumulation, health hazards, and a decline in property appeal and value. To ensure long-term quality and desirability, property owners need to prioritize maintenance, including regular and thorough cleaning.
Risks to health and safety, legal problems such as code violations, reduced property value, and negative tenant retention are potential consequences.
Landlords should detail maintenance expectations in the lease agreement to avoid potential issues. This means conducting regular property inspections, providing maintenance resources for tenants, and using professional cleaning services to keep the property well-maintained.
