Those with allergies might find that everything in their home seems to trigger their symptoms. Allergies can be as mild as a minor nuisance or as severe as a fatal condition. Pet allergies are quite common, and seasonal allergies occur even more often. Given this, it’s plausible that at least one tenant in your Bozeman single-family homes might be particularly sensitive to some allergens.
What can landlords do to help tenants with allergies?
While tenants are responsible for managing their own allergies, you should ensure your rental home is as clean as possible for new occupants.
If you plan to allow pets, ensuring the property is thoroughly cleaned between tenants is essential to minimize allergens.
Keep your property professionally maintained
Tenants are often not diligent about deep cleaning the house upon moving out. Expecting a thoroughly cleaned house can result in unwelcome surprises for both you and your new tenant. Should tenants discover the house is dirty from previous renters, they have grounds to claim it affects 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. Ensure and verify these tasks are completed, as tenants might not do them. Moreover, professional cleaning of the home and carpets improves its appearance and extends flooring longevity.
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 need to prioritize maintenance, including regular and thorough cleaning.
The potential consequences include health and safety risks, legal issues like code violations, decreased property value, and poor tenant retention.
To prevent potential issues, landlords should explicitly outline maintenance expectations in the lease agreement. Regular property inspections, offering maintenance resources for tenants, and using professional cleaning services are part of this.
