Addressing Tenant Allergies: What Property Owners Need to Know

Woman sitting on a couch blowing her nose with a tissue in hand.People with allergies may feel that every minor thing in their home triggers their symptoms. Allergies can vary from being a minor inconvenience to a life-threatening issue. Allergies to pets are not rare, and seasonal allergies are even more common. Considering this, it’s reasonable to expect that at least one tenant in your Manchester single-family homes may be especially sensitive to certain allergens.

What can landlords do to help tenants with allergies?

While it’s the tenant’s job to monitor their allergies, you must provide a clean rental home for new tenants.

If you allow tenants to have pets, thorough cleaning between tenants is crucial to minimize allergens.

Keep your property professionally maintained

Tenants are often not diligent about deep cleaning the house upon moving out. Believing that everything is clean can lead to unexpected issues for you and your new tenant. When tenants see the house is dirty from former residents, they might argue it affects their health.

Therefore, you should always invest in professional cleaning and maintenance. Along with routine cleaning, regularly replacing the filters in your rental homes is necessary. It’s crucial to confirm these tasks are done, as tenants may overlook them. Moreover, professional cleaning of the home and carpets improves its appearance and extends flooring longevity.

Potential consequences for property owners

Insufficient cleaning can cause numerous problems for property owners, such as dirt buildup, health risks, and reduced property appeal and value. Property owners should prioritize maintenance, including regular and thorough cleaning, to maintain their property’s long-term quality and appeal.

Health and safety risks, legal issues like code violations, reduced property value, and negative tenant retention are possible consequences.

To avoid potential issues, landlords should clearly state maintenance expectations in the lease agreement. It includes regular property inspections, providing tenants with maintenance resources, and employing professional cleaning services to keep the property in good condition.
