Clean It
One of the most important things to do when getting your property rental ready for new tenants is to clean it very well. This is especially important for making a good first impression when you show your property to prospective tenants and even more important when a new tenant is moving in. Canadian Carpet Cleaning offers a wide range of residential cleaning services in Toronto, the GTA and Durham region, and we’ll do all the work, from mopping, dusting, steam cleaning carpets, disinfecting bathrooms and kitchens and anything else you can think of. Please visit our pre-occupancy cleaning page for a full list of services that we’re happy to provide for you.
Get a Home Inspection
Having a professional come inspect your property rental can have many benefits, including making your home safe for tenants and protecting you from any potential legal issues. Making your property safe will also help cut down on the number of maintenance calls you might receive and hopefully prevent any last minute plumbing or electrical issues from occurring. Having a third party home inspection can also provide a record of any damage caused by the tenant.
Smoke Detectors
Ensuring that your property rental is safe for your tenants is of the utmost importance to a landlord. One aspect of this is ensuring that you have smoke detectors installed throughout the house to save lives should a fire ever occur. Smoke detectors should be installed outside of each bedroom and sleeping area and on every level of your property, including the basement. Be sure to replace any smoke detector that is more than ten years old and to change the batteries regularly. The best way to remind tenants to do this is to have them change the batteries twice a year, when the clock is moved forward and backwards.
De-Clutter
When you own a rental property, it’s easy to let common areas of your property become overrun with things like shovels, gardening tools and lawn furniture. Whenever a new tenant is set to move into one of your properties, it’s a good time to take stock of the outside of the property and see what can be done to tidy it up. Keeping your property in tip-top shape is also great for showings or open houses; most tenants will be impressed by, and appreciate, a tidy exterior. If you have done construction or renovations on your property and feel overwhelmed by the waste removal, let Canadian Carpet Cleaning take care of the post-construction cleaning. We remove all of the dirt, debris and trash that is often left behind after a big project.
