Ascent Property Management • Apr 12, 2022

Springtime in San Diego means more than just beautiful weather! Seasonal home maintenance is an easy way to make sure the important tasks don’t get left behind. 🧼

Service A/C Unit

Before the very warm months hit, it’s a good idea to get the A/C unit serviced to make sure it’s in tiptop shape. No tenant likes to make an emergency repair call on a sweltering day! Routine maintenance on these kinds of systems can also help expand the life of the unit.


Check Window Seals

Now that you have ensured you’re A/C unit is functioning properly, it’s time to check those window seals. Windows with cracked caulking are not effective at keeping cool air inside the home. Properly sealed windows can also help reduce the monthly power bill.

Remove Brush/Dead Plants

Dried up plants are not just unsightly. Dead plants and brush surrounding your rental property should be cleared to help create defensible space, especially if the home is in a high fire zone. In San Diego, it’s important to take steps to help reduce the risk of fire to your rental property as well as your primary residence.  


Have The Roof Inspected

If you haven’t had your roof inspected in a while, now is a great time to do so. Although San Diego does not experience heavy rainfall, it’s still a good idea to check for any damaged or missing shingles. You’ll also want to look for any cracks or signs of leaking. Of course, safety comes first, so be sure to consult a professional.

As Earth Day approaches, it's the perfect time to consider making eco-friendly updates to your rental property. Not only do these updates contribute to a healthier planet, but they can also save you some money in the long run! Energy-Efficient Lighting One of the simplest yet most impactful eco-friendly updates you can make is replacing traditional incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs. LED bulbs consume significantly less energy and last longer than incandescent bulbs, resulting in lower electricity bills and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, consider installing motion sensors or timers to automatically turn off lights when not in use, further conserving energy.

In the competitive rental market, tenants often come across listings advertised as "For Rent by Owner." While these listings may seem appealing, renting directly from an individual landlord rather than through a professional property management company can pose some risks.
