Allergy sufferers can feel like everything in their home is constantly setting off their symptoms. Allergies can be as mild as a minor nuisance or as severe as a fatal condition. It’s common to be allergic to pets, and seasonal allergies are even more frequent. Based on these facts, it’s probable that at least one tenant in your Tumalo single-family homes will be sensitive to certain allergens.
What can landlords do to help tenants with allergies?
While tenants are responsible for managing their own allergies, you should ensure your rental home is as clean as possible for new occupants.
If you plan to allow pets, ensuring the property is thoroughly cleaned between tenants is essential to minimize allergens.
Keep your property professionally maintained
Renters may not be dependable in deep cleaning the house after moving out. Counting on the house being thoroughly cleaned can result in unpleasant surprises for you and your new tenant. If new tenants find the house dirty from previous occupants, they can argue it contributes to their health issues.
As a result, it’s essential not to skimp on professional cleaning and maintenance. Together with regular cleaning, replace the filters in your rental homes on a regular basis. Ensure and verify these tasks are completed, as tenants might not do them. Moreover, professional cleaning of the home and carpets improves its appearance and extends flooring longevity.
Potential consequences for property owners
Inadequate cleaning can cause multiple problems for property owners, including grime buildup, health risks, and a decrease in property appeal and value. Regular and thorough cleaning should be a maintenance priority for property owners to ensure long-term quality and appeal.
The risks include health and safety hazards, legal issues like code violations, decreased property value, and negative tenant retention.
To prevent potential issues, landlords should explicitly outline maintenance expectations in the lease agreement. Regular property inspections, offering maintenance resources for tenants, and using professional cleaning services are part of this.
