Vacancy checklist for rental properties

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with North Highlands,Greenhaven, Rancho Cordova

My primary areas of managing investment properties have been Natomas, Land Park, Greenhaven, Pocket, Sacramento and Elk Grove.

It is very important to complete a thorough check of your rental property in between tenancies.

Please see the following primary areas to check:

1. Smoke detectors are in good working order and new batteries installed

2. HVAC system check and new filters installed

3. Check all appliances and their components for good working conditions

4. Replace all light bulbs

5. Check all plumbing and bathrooms areas for leaks or signs of water intrusion

6. Has all entry doors been re keyed?

7. Check all sprinkler systems to ensure proper coverage

8. Is the property clean and in overall good condition?

You may want to construct your own working list to be more inclusive as their are many areas to your rental property. 

Taking advantage of the vacancy period to complete routine repairs and adjustments is a good way to save time and money.
