Individuals with allergies often feel that even the smallest things in their home trigger their symptoms. The impact of allergies can range from a slight inconvenience to a potentially fatal condition. Allergies to pets are not rare, and seasonal allergies are even more common. With this in mind, it’s understandable that at least one tenant in your Dartmouth single-family homes could be very sensitive to specific allergens.
What can landlords do to help tenants with allergies?
Although tenants must manage their own allergies, it is your duty to present a clean rental home to new tenants.
Should you permit tenants to keep pets, it’s vital to thoroughly clean the property between tenants to reduce allergens.
Keep your property professionally maintained
Tenants often do not thoroughly clean the house when they move out. Counting on the house being thoroughly cleaned can result in unpleasant surprises for you and your new tenant. If tenants realize the house is still dirty from prior occupants, they could claim it impacts their health.
Thus, it’s crucial to invest in professional cleaning and maintenance. Together with regular cleaning, replace the filters in your rental homes on a regular basis. It’s crucial to confirm these tasks are done, as tenants may overlook them. Professional home and carpet cleaning not only improves the home’s appearance but also extends the flooring’s lifespan.
Potential consequences for property owners
Poor cleaning can result in various issues for property owners, including dirt accumulation, health hazards, and a decline in property appeal and value. Property owners must focus on maintenance, including thorough and frequent cleaning, to keep their property’s long-term quality and appeal.
The risks include health and safety hazards, legal issues like code violations, decreased property value, and negative tenant retention.
Landlords need to clearly outline maintenance expectations in the lease agreement to prevent potential problems. This involves regular property inspections, offering resources for tenants to handle maintenance issues, and using professional cleaning services to maintain the property.
