Inspection & Maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance are the backbone of successful property management. They not only preserve property value but also ensure safety, satisfied tenants, and long term returns. Our commitment to proactive upkeep keeps your investments secure and thriving.
Inspections for Your Bluffton Rental Property
At RMA, we understand the importance of maintaining your rental property in prime condition and ensuring that it remains a desirable and safe place for your tenants. Our comprehensive property management service include a thorough inspection process, designed to protect your investment and maintain a seamless tenancy experience. Here’s what you can expect from our inspection service.
Property Inspection at the Onset
To kickstart our commitment to your property, we conduct a meticulous inspection upon the execution of the Management Agreement. This initial assessment provides us with a baseline understanding of your property’s condition. Additionally, inspections are performed whenever there is a turnover in tenancy. These inspections help us identify any necessary maintenance and repairs to ensure your property is always rent-ready.
Property Maintenance and Repair
At RMA, we take property maintenance and repair seriously. Our goal is to maintain your property to meet our exacting standards for rentability and to safeguard your investment.
Here’s how we handle repairs:
Approval for Repairs
All repairs or improvements estimated to exceed $200 require your prior approval before we proceed with the work, except in the case of emergencies. This ensures that you have full control over your property and the associated expenses. We believe in transparency and open communication, and always follow your decisions.
HVAC Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and efficiency of your HVAC systems, we encourage you to engage an HVAC contractor for semi-annual maintenance. If you need a recommendation, we have established relationships with trusted contractors who offer our clients discounted rates, helping you save on maintenance costs.
Quality Assurance
Rest assured that your property is in capable hands. We work exclusively with licensed and insured subcontractors who have a proven track record of delivering quality work. These same contractors are used for our own homes and rental properties, reflecting our confidence in their expertise and reliability.
Inspection Frequency
While your property is vacant, we perform inspections at least every two weeks to ensure its security and cleanliness. When the property is occupied, we schedule semi-annual inspections with your tenant’s involvement. These inspections are included in our property management service package at no additional cost to you, giving you the peace of mind knowing your property is being well-maintained.
Ongoing Tenant Inspections
Throughout the tenancy, we conduct semi annual inspections to verify that your tenants are adhering to the property’s rules and regulations. These inspections help us identify any maintenance or compliance issues that may arise. We will also inform you about your property’s condition if any necessary repairs are needed.
Fire and Safety Inspections
Safety is paramount when managing rental properties. As part of our service, we arrange for an annual fire and safety inspection. This inspection includes:
- Verification of smoke detectors and fire extinguishers to ensure they are in proper working order.
- Battery replacement for smoke detectors.
- Recharging of fire extinguishers, if necessary.
You have the option to perform this task yourself, or we can handle the inspection on your behalf, with the associated cost deducted from your account.
At RMA, we are committed to preserving the value of your Bluffton rental property while ensuring the safety and satisfaction of your tenants. Contact us today to learn more about our comprehensive property management service and how we can protect your investment.
