Renting out your property can be stressful at times. As a landlord, it is your responsibility to maintain the upkeep of your property for your tenants, as it is important to keep your tenants happy and maximize your earning potential. Happy tenants ensure long-term rental to avoid the administration of finding someone new.
Using our experience and expertise in managing rental properties in the Toronto region, we have put together our best reasons for how hiring a handyman can increase your rental earning potential.
Fixing Up Your Property Before Renting
Before you rent out your property, you should consider hiring a handyman. You only get one chance to make a first impression on your potential renter, so make sure it is a good one that they won’t forget.
A fresh coat of paint on the outside will help your property look as good as new. Another way to make a good first impression from the outside is to increase the curb appeal, such as landscaping and repairing garden fixtures like fencing.
Regarding the interior, making sure your lighting is right or replacing old-fashioned wallpaper with high-end wall paint will help to accentuate the beauty of your property’s best features.
Consistent Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your property and the well-being of your tenants, get a handyman to consistently maintain the building. Upkeep involves the occasional roof repair, heating or plumbing issues or replacing the flooring.
You want your tenants to feel safe and secure for what they’re paying you. Keeping your property in tip-top shape will help your tenants feel they are getting the best value for their money.
Emergency Repairs
As a landlord, it is your responsibility to help your tenants in emergency situations. For example, you can’t let your renters sit without electricity or water. You need to have a reliable handyman who can assist you in your time of need.
Rental Earning Potential
To get your highest possible rent, it’s imperative that your tenants get a good first impression of your property, know that you are going to take care of them and fix any emergent issues that may arise. Not only will doing so help increase your rental earning potential, it will also improve your reputation as a good landlord.
