Those with allergies might find that everything in their home seems to trigger their symptoms. Allergies can be as mild as a minor nuisance or as severe as a fatal condition. Pet allergies are quite common, and seasonal allergies occur even more often. Given this, it’s plausible that at least one tenant in your Franklin single-family homes might be particularly sensitive to some allergens.
What can landlords do to help tenants with allergies?
Even if tenants handle their own allergy monitoring, you should 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
Tenants aren’t always reliable about deep cleaning the house when they leave. 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. Besides regular cleaning, filters in your rental homes need regular replacement. It’s important to check that these tasks are done, as tenants might not handle them. Additionally, professional home and carpet cleaning enhances the home’s appearance and prolongs the flooring’s life.
Potential consequences for property owners
Inadequate cleaning can cause several problems for property owners, including dirt accumulation, health hazards, and a negative effect on property appeal and value. To ensure long-term quality and desirability, property owners must prioritize maintenance, particularly regular and thorough cleaning.
The potential consequences include health and safety risks, legal issues like code violations, decreased property value, and poor 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.
