When a tenant vacates your property, it is important to perform a thorough inspection to check for any repairs required. This will make it easier for you to prepare your home for the next tenants. You can also hire a property management company to look after the maintenance of your rental home in Harker Heights, TX.

Below are some tips that will help you prepare your rental property for re-occupancy.

• Check the functioning of doors and windows: All the doors and windows in your property must open and shut smoothly. Also check if the cabinets are properly functioning. If you have a garage, confirm that all its structures are in proper working order.
• Check all the fixtures: Make sure that all the fixtures such as faucets, showers and toilets etc. are working in an optimum condition. Any kind of leakage should immediately be repaired or the fixture must be replaced to avoid problems later on.
• Inspect the condition of the walls: Carefully inspect all the walls to look for any cracks, chipped paint or signs of dampness. Repair any existing marks or holes on the walls before inviting your potential tenants to view the property. You can also consider applying a fresh coat of paint to give the home an invigorated look.
