How we handle repairs and maintenance of your rental investment in Browntown
Nesbitt Realty strives to maintain a high-standard of living in the properties we manage. We will do what is necessary to ensure that the property exceeds the requirements of local building and health codes concerning the condition of your rental .
So long as Nesbitt Realty is managing your rental, we promise to make required and timely repairs to maintain your property in a livable condition. We will maintain in good and safe working condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning units as well as other facilities and appliances, including elevators, supplied or required to be supplied by the owner. We will make a reasonable effort to prevent the accumulation of moisture and the growth of mold. We will always provide and maintain good quality trash cans and trash pick-up services in common areas of your property. Unless the systems are in the process of being repaired or upgraded, we will supply running water and reasonable amounts of hot water at all times as well as reasonable air conditioning, if provided, and heat when needed. We will strive to make all repairs and upgrades in a timely manner.
Inspections
We want to keep your unit in good shape so we will occasionally schedule inspections of your property to keep things in top order. Inspections are performed by licensed home inspector for a nominal fee. Some repairs are not the rental investor's responsibility. For example, if the renter damages or misuses the property, the tenant can be held responsible for the cost of the repair. However, the inspection could uncover optional work/maintenance and we'll consult with the landlord before taking on any optional repairs.
Upgrading the rental home
Some tenants will want to obtain permission to paint. Other renters want to install new carpet. Sometimes the tenant pays for this. Often the rental owner pays for the work but builds the cost into a rent-increase. We'll take a look at any proposal and try to make it work for you the rental owner.
If you wish to improve your rental home please describe the work you want to have done and we'll look into coordinating an upgrade.
