LTR Maintenance Checklist?

[Dave Chimobi]

Hi Everyone,

I landed my first rental property last year and have a question about maintenance - I have often heard it's a good idea to check your HVAC annually so I wanted to put together a list of critical items that need to be checked.

Can you provide some recommendations for this list, how often you have them looked at, and do you make your tenants pay for these items?

i would say it should be the same for a normal home owner

water heater, roof, gutters, paint, HVAC (you mentioned and make sure filters getting changed), plumbing, check your deck

think you would have a hard time getting tenants to pay for these unless they broke them. but i yield to the more experienced here
