Landlord maintenance advice for clearer property management
Guidance for reducing repair disputes, planning handovers, documenting work and keeping rental properties ready without unnecessary delay.
Built for: Private landlords, letting agents and property managers responsible for rental condition.
Separate habitability, safety and presentation
Urgent repairs should be handled separately from refresh work. Presentation matters, but not ahead of safety, water or access issues.
Use handover periods well
Between tenancies, group decorating, kitchen repairs, bathroom sealant, locks, flooring and snagging before the next move-in.
