Answer · Maintenance & repairs

What preventive maintenance should landlords schedule?

The short answer

Use a recurring schedule based on the property's equipment, manufacturer guidance, local requirements and observed condition. Pair scheduled tasks with records of findings and follow-up repairs.

On this page

Build the register

List major systems, installation or service history, responsible vendor and next review. Include required inspections and safety equipment checks appropriate to the property. Do not invent a universal interval for every device.

Close the loop

Record what was checked, defects found, corrective work and the next due date. Budget for aging equipment before failure and update the plan after recurring incidents.

Example: repeated service warnings

A technician flags the same deteriorating component twice. Move it into an approved repair or replacement plan rather than treating each completed visit as proof that the underlying risk disappeared.
