Maintain clear lines of communication with your tenants
Establish and maintain clear lines of communication with your tenants to address their needs and concerns effectively
Of course, it is much easier to make sure that your property is well-maintained and storm-ready if you have a good relationship with your tenants.
Establish clear channels of communication with them so that if any repairs are needed, they know how to contact you.
This will enable you to rectify any issues before they are exacerbated by a severe or unexpected weather event like a storm.
Offer your tenants advice on what they can do if strong winds are forecast, for example bringing in any unsecured items from the outdoor areas.
This storm damage case study from tenancy deposit protection scheme, mydeposits, highlights the need to check in with tenants if there has been severe weather, and to encourage tenants to always report issues when they happen.
