Here’s what I do:When I raise the rent, I keep the amount reasonable.When my tenants sign a new lease, I usually offer them a small concession, like getting the carpet shampooed.I do semi-annual inspections, so that I can catch maintenance items they might miss and take care of them.When my tenants have a maintenance need that they report, I respond in a timely manner.I usually send them a gift card to a local restaurant either for Thanksgiving or Christmas and thank them for their loyalty.These practices have helped me keep my tenants.Best wishes,Melissa

You could have semi-annual replacement of air filters, smoke detectors, and have the pipes inspected then.
