The last stage of the maintenance survey is installing repairs to the property. Your survey will have identified those items needing services by getting those repair orders in and the asset is protected, which is certainly a major part of your property management responsibilities. In summary, perform maintenance surveys to help insure tenant safety, protect the owner's assets and provide the full service of a quality management firm.

Report Your Findings

The next stage in the maintenance survey is reporting your findings to the property owner. It should be a detailed, written description of what is happening to the unit. Many firms are now including digital pictures as well as a narrative report. Since owners of rental properties frequently live out of town, your report and pictures are the only source of information about their investment.
