Landlord or Tenant: Who Handles Repairs?
Learn who handles property repairs and how to simplify the process.
Who’s responsible for property repairs during a lease? It’s a common question, so let’s clear it up. The property owner is typically responsible for repairs because it’s still your home, your roof, and your electricity. When it comes to actually getting the repairs done, property managers step in.
You’d be surprised at how much property managers can actually help! Let me share a bit about what they do and how they handle things behind the scenes.
What are property managers?
Property managers handle all the maintenance and repairs for rental properties. While owners are usually responsible for repairs, property managers coordinate the work, keep things running smoothly, and make sure repairs are done right.
"Property managers handle the things you don't have time for, don't want to deal with, or even things you might not realize need attention."
How can property managers help you? You can rely on property managers to handle the stress of emergency calls and late-night issues, such as a tenant's air conditioning failing at 3 a.m. For instance, we at Patriot Property Management offer 24/7 maintenance support where we ensure that the right professionals are contacted quickly and efficiently. Property managers like us work with a trusted network of vendors that can address your repair needs anytime.
Basically, property managers handle the things you don't have time for, don't want to deal with, or even things you might not realize need attention. If you ever need help, just send us a quick message or call, and we'd be happy to assist.
