1. Inspect the roof and building's exterior
Landlords and property managers are advised to check for damaged siding, chipped paint, holes in window screens, and foundation cracks. They should also verify whether the roof has any missing or damaged shingles that need to be fixed or replaced.
2. Inspect and clean the pool

Irrigation systems should be examined in order to confirm whether they were properly drained before Winter or if they suffered any damage.
4. Check the electrical systems
All the electrical systems should be checked for loose connections. Having a faulty electrical system can lead to energy losses. It’s highly recommended to hire a licenced electrician for seasonal electrical system checks.
5. Inspect the safety equipment
Fire extinguishers, snowmobiles, alarm systems, and smoke detectors are all part of the property’s safety equipment and keeping it in top shape is essential for the safety of the tenants.
6. Update the mechanical systems
Property managers should hire an air conditioning specialist to check all units and to replace air filters if necessary. This will ensure that the quality of indoor air is maintained.
7. Check the gutters
It's important to check the gutters seasonally to ensure that they are not damaged or clogged. Clogged gutters can lead to more severe issues such as water infiltration, and severe gutter damage.
Whether you use a property management software to schedule your maintenance inspections or not, small issues can be prevented before they turn into costly problems.
