Managing Your Rental Property: Walking the Walk

It’s a little bit harder than Monopoly.

The Most Common Maintenance and Repairs you can expect from your Rental Property:

• Fridge/Stove/Dishwasher not working
• Minor repairs may be fixed by the landlord themselves
• Larger repairs will require a qualified appliance repair person
• Between $50 and $100 per hour and can be handled in an hour
• Water Leak in Ceiling or Under Windows
• Can destroy wood, flooring, drywall, or any other surface on your property
• Moisture can cause mold to grow
• Could require a plumber or a roofing contractor
• Be sure to verify whether your property was water supply lines
• Water Leaf Under Sink
• Can be because of
• the supply line -> the pipe that brings water to the sink
• Or the drain -> from sink to sewer
• Drainpipe not fitting together properly
• Can fix yourself or hire a plumber
• Water Drip From Faucets
• This can cost you $100s per year in hydro
• The faucet may need to be replaced; don’t cheap out on the plastic one because it’ll come back at you in the long-term…
