A Quick Checklist for Prepping a Property for New Tenants

Moving a new set of tenants into your property can be a stressful time for both them and for you as a landlord. There are many small things that can easily be forgotten as you try to ensure that the property is ready for them. Here’s a quick checklist of some of the things you will need to focus on when prepping a property for its new tenants.

Check the Tenancy Agreements

If you have a written tenancy agreement to give to your incoming tenants, have it quickly reviewed by your solicitor to ensure that all the information in it is still correct. There might have been some changes to the law recently that could affect some of the terms that you have. You need to make sure that you always issue an up-to-date tenancy agreement to your tenants, so everyone is fully protected and aware of what they can and can’t do within the property.

Have the Alarms Checked

It is always a good idea to check the alarms and other safety features in between long-term tenants, even if you are within the current mandatory period for such checks. It can give you the peace of mind that everything is OK with the property, and gives them the guarantee that the property is a safe place to live. By reaching out to a company like FireRiskManchester.co.uk, they can come in and do the necessary checks to ensure that the property is ready to accept new tenants.

Refresh the Décor

Homes can quickly look tired, and no-one wants to move into somewhere that is a little worn-down. While you should not have to do a complete refit and renovation with every new tenant, if your previous ones were in for a while, it might be worth taking a closer look at the walls and floors. If they look a little tired, it is time to replace them. By repainting the walls and changing floors if needed, you can make a property feel like brand-new.

Double-Check the Inventory

You need to make sure that you have an accurate inventory on hand that details everything you are providing as a landlord. This is especially important if you are offering a furnished flat over an unfurnished one, though an unfurnished property might still have a few key items like a ladder. Make sure you have a copy, and give one to the new tenants. If anything is broken or goes missing, you should have proof thanks to this inventory.

These are just some of the things that you need to make sure you need to take care of between tenants. As a landlord, it is your duty to ensure that the property is always in perfect condition before you hand it over to the next set of tenants. Make sure you tackle any and all issues long before they are ready to move in, so you can start your landlord/tenant relationship on the best footing.
