Ascent Property Management • Apr 25, 2023

Spring is in full swing and it's the perfect time for landlords in San Diego to perform routine maintenance on their rental properties! 


Ensuring the rental property is safe, habitable, and well-maintained is very important. Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs, reduce liability risks, and keep tenants happy.

HVAC System

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are essential for tenant comfort. Schedule regular HVAC maintenance and filter replacements to ensure they're functioning correctly, especially before the summer heat comes.


Roof and Gutters

The roof protects the property from weather elements, and gutters prevent water damage to the foundation. Schedule regular roof inspections and gutter cleaning to prevent water from entering the property.


Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are essential for tenant safety. To ensure that the smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms are functioning correctly, test them regularly and replace the batteries at least once a year.

Exterior and Landscaping

The property's curb appeal is critical to attracting tenants. Regularly inspect the exterior for cracks, chipping paint, or other damage. Trim trees and bushes to prevent them from damaging the property.


Pest Control

San Diego has a warm climate, making it prone to pests such as ants, termites, and rodents. Conduct regular pest inspections and hire a pest control service to prevent infestations.

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.
