Proactive Rental Unit Maintenance

[Matthew Gil]

Last winter we got slammed with a lot of furnace problems with our units. This year we resolved that we were going to do a furance inspection on all of our units in October, so that we can prevent any surprises before winter.

My question, what other preventive maintenance do you landlords do? Since, our handyman will be going around and checking, cleaning and replacing the filter on all of our units, I figured we'd also have look at some additional stuff (example, look for water leaks).

Thanks,

[Matthew Gil]
