When it comes to your Eldersburg rental building, curb appeal is a key part of keeping them rented out and financially successful. Renters want a place that shows it is taken care of and looks good too. This is a place where they can feel happy and take satisfaction in. A clean and maintained property is the key to a successful rental experience and that is why repeated window cleaning is such a crucial component of any property management plan.
Clean windows create a good deal of value for owners and occupants alike. The most visible benefit is designing a magnificent first impression of the property. First impressions can make a real difference when it comes to attracting quality renters. Potential tenants may associate dirty windows with a homeowner who skimps on property maintenance. Consequently, this influences potential tenants’ decision to rent because minor smudges and dirt are not a pleasant aspect of an ideal home.
Regular window cleaning extends the life of the windows themselves. Like all of the other parts of a property, windows must be wiped and cleaned on a repeat basis. Acid rain, hard water, and oxidation are all factors that damage window panes. Regular cleaning can help keep environmental contaminants at bay and your windows sparkling for years to come.
Industry experts recommend cleaning residential windows once or twice a year. But assuming your tenants can fulfill this responsibility for you is not a smart idea. Tenants might fail to make use of suitable cleaning tools and materials and as a consequence wreck the windows even further. Or your renters could end up wounding themselves as they strive to sponge and rinse clean 2nd story windows.
Falls involving ladders are one of the leading causes of serious household injuries. This guide to ladder safety from the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) outlines over a dozen safety guidelines for ladder use, many of which your tenant may not know or follow. The escalating liability of tenants making use of ladders to complete property maintenance tasks is not a good management practice.
