For individuals with allergies, it can feel like everything in their home triggers their symptoms. Allergies can vary from being a minor inconvenience to a life-threatening issue. Allergies to pets are not rare, and seasonal allergies are even more common. Given this information, it’s likely that at least one tenant in your Atlanta single-family homes might be sensitive to certain 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.
Allowing tenants to keep pets means you must thoroughly clean the property between tenants to reduce allergens.
Keep your property professionally maintained
Tenants aren’t always reliable about deep cleaning the house when they leave. Expecting a thoroughly cleaned house can result in unwelcome surprises for both you and your new tenant. If tenants realize the house is still dirty from prior occupants, they could claim it impacts their health.
Because of this, always ensure professional cleaning and maintenance are done thoroughly. Along with routine cleaning, regularly replacing the filters in your rental homes is necessary. You should check and confirm that these tasks are done since tenants may not do them. Furthermore, professional cleaning of the home and carpets will improve its look and extend the flooring’s life.
Potential consequences for property owners
Inadequate cleaning can cause several problems for property owners, including dirt accumulation, health hazards, and a negative effect on property appeal and value. To ensure long-term quality and desirability, property owners must prioritize maintenance, particularly regular and thorough cleaning.
The potential consequences include health and safety risks, legal issues like code violations, decreased property value, and poor tenant retention.
Landlords need to clearly outline maintenance expectations in the lease agreement to prevent potential problems. This entails regular property inspections, supplying tenants with maintenance resources, and utilizing professional cleaning services to maintain the property.
