Maintenance Issues When Renting by the bedroom
Hello everyone, I am going to manage a rent by the bedroom house hack pretty soon and I am curious as to what systems some of you have used to handle maintenance request. My goal is to manage the property as if I’m not living in it much like a student rental. Do you just underwrite more for maintenance and take care of what comes up within reason? Do you have systems for identifying how and who caused the maintenance problem so you can bill that individual appropriately? And also would you charge a separate fee for laundry/appliances. I don’t believe I can put it in the lease as a convenience as I will be using it personally, but I do think because I’ll have to maintain all of it, I should charge extra for that. What are some ideas you guys have?
