How Tenants Can Help Keep Their Rental Property in Good Condition

A well-maintained property benefits everyone. Tenants enjoy a clean, safe home — and owners protect the value of their investment. Here are simple ways renters can help keep their property in top condition.

1. Report Maintenance Early

Small issues like leaks or faulty switches can turn into major repairs if ignored. Reporting early prevents long-term damage and saves everyone stress.

2. Keep Ventilation in Mind

Open windows and use exhaust fans to reduce mould and condensation, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.

3. Regular Cleaning

Routine cleaning of floors, filters, and surfaces helps prevent build-up and keeps the property fresh and healthy.

4. Care for Outdoor Areas

If the lease includes a garden or courtyard, regular mowing and tidying are part of tenant care. It also keeps pests away and improves appeal.

5. Respect the Property

Avoid damage from hanging items without approval or keeping pets that breach lease terms. Always follow your agreement to ensure a smooth tenancy.
