Getting Your Property Prepared for Rental: A Guide to Cleaning

Erin Meyer • December 18, 2014

rental property Renting a property can be a lucrative business, especially if you’ve got a range of properties to manage. However, it’s not without its stress, as you’re already no doubt aware. Your tenants have certain rights, and as their landlord, it’s important to meet these requirements in order to stay within the law.

Providing Acceptable Living Standards

One of your responsibilities to your tenants is to provide a good level of cleanliness and hygiene throughout the property. Here is a quick checklist to refer to when preparing a property for rental purposes:

Mold. Mold causes a variety of problems. It can be a hazard to health, particularly if your tenant has allergies, asthma or a compromised immune system. Also, mold spreads fast. Your tenant may not be as dedicated as you when it comes to keeping things clean, and may allow the mold to spread, presenting you with a far more serious problem in the future. Our advice? Address the issue now, before it becomes a major headache.

Carpets. Before you welcome tenants into the house, invest in a professional carpet cleaning service to give the floors an intensive clean. Carpets are notorious for storing not only dirt, but also mites and fleas.

Appliances. If someone has previously lived in the house, it’s likely that the appliances, such as the oven, microwave and washing machine, may be dirty. This isn’t terribly hygienic for your new tenants, so it’s important to get them professionally cleaned before they move in.

School restrooms can often be overlooked and taken for granted, but they are a vital part of the educational experience. From providing a safe and comfortable space for students to take care of their hygiene needs to create a sense of community, school restrooms play an important role in the daily lives of students. In this blog post, we'll discuss the importance of school restrooms, the challenges they face, and some ways to improve them. As mentioned, school restrooms are an essential part of a student's day. Not only do they serve a practical purpose, but they also help create a sense of community. By providing a safe space for students to take care of their needs, restrooms are an important part of fostering a sense of security. Unfortunately, school restrooms are often neglected and suffer from a lack of resources and maintenance. This can lead to dirty and even dangerous restrooms that can cause health problems for students. Often times students communicate the need to wait until they get home to use the restroom. This can be because the restrooms are dirty, lack of toilet tissue or paper towel, or fixtures are broken or inoperable. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to improve school restrooms and create a safe and comfortable environment for students. One way to improve the restroom experience is to be sure the restrooms are regularly cleaned and maintained. This includes ensuring that all facilities are in working order and that any issues are addressed in a timely manner. In addition, the restrooms should be stocked with adequate supplies, such as soap and toilet paper. Ultimately, school restrooms are an important part of the educational experience and should be given the attention they deserve. By implementing these simple steps, schools can create a safe and comfortable environment for their students.
