Proper maintenance is essential for the long-term health and value of your rental property. A property manager who doesn’t prioritize maintenance can result in a variety of problems that can cost you money in the long run.

Here are a few ways that poor maintenance can impact your budget:

1. Higher repair costs: Neglecting small issues can result in larger, more costly problems down the line. For example, a small plumbing issue that is not addressed promptly can turn into a major repair.
2. Decreased tenant satisfaction: Tenants who are unhappy with the condition of the property may be more likely to move out, resulting in lost rental income and the expense of finding and screening new tenants.
3. Decreased property value: Proper maintenance is essential for preserving the value of your property. Neglecting maintenance can result in decreased property value, which can impact your ability to sell or refinance the property.
4. Legal issues: Neglecting maintenance can also result in legal issues, such as health and safety violations, which can result in costly fines.

By working with a property manager who prioritizes maintenance, you can avoid these problems and protect your investment in your rental property.
