Individuals with allergies often feel that even the smallest things in their home trigger their symptoms. Allergies can range from minor inconveniences to life-threatening conditions. Pet allergies are common, and seasonal allergies are even more widespread. Based on these facts, it’s probable that at least one tenant in your Lexington 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 permit pets on the property, it’s important to have it thoroughly cleaned between tenants to minimize allergens.
Keep your property professionally maintained
Renters may not be dependable in deep cleaning the house after moving out. Assuming everything is clean can cause unexpected problems for you and your new tenant. If tenants realize the house is still dirty from prior occupants, they could claim it impacts their health.
Because of this, always ensure professional cleaning and maintenance are done thoroughly. 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. Professional home and carpet cleaning not only improves the home’s appearance but also extends the flooring’s lifespan.
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 entails regular property inspections, supplying tenants with maintenance resources, and utilizing professional cleaning services to maintain the property.
