Keeping up with Home Repair While you are Away | Chevy Chase, MD

Keeping up with home repair may seem difficult while you are renting your home, but we've got some ways to make that task a bit easier.

Preparation

Before you leave your home, establish or confirm your trust in a contractor to care for your home when you are away. While the property manager may likely have the most contact with your renters, your contractor can ensure you have timely and cost-efficient repairs, when needed.

One task you can do with a contractor before leaving is walk through your home to ensure the structure and appliances are in their top condition when you depart. The most common fix to have within the first year of having renters in your home is the garbage disposal or dishwasher. These appliances can be pricey to fix or replace, so checking all parts are functioning is worth the time. You may also consider extending the manufacturers warranty with your appliances as insurance for more costly repairs.
