Property managers and
landlords regularly encounter debris from rental properties. Whether it is
routine maintenance, tenant change, or large cleanouts, the quickest method to
miss as few leased days as possible, is using a roll-off dumpster for junk and
debris removal.
Tenant
Change
Depending on the tenant’s
treatment of the property, a short-term lease can be turned quickly for the
next tenant. Some tenants do stay longer however, perhaps renewing their lease
several times. Once these tenants move, a heavier cleaning will be needed and
carpet replaced. When flooring is tiled, broken sections can replaced easily,
but if the style is discontinued, the whole area will need
This will also be the
time when repairs are made so the next tenant can move in, such as broken fence
pickets, holes in walls, broken doors, cabinets or drawers. And there will
be situations where the tenant did not inform the owner of issues, such as a
leak. The result could be a repair as bad as mold and at the least, damaged dry
wall.
Maintenance
Indoor and outdoor
maintenance is required for all property. A dumpster will help property
managers and landlords with quick cleanup. For example, a bin can be utilized
for inside maintenance, such as air filter replacement or indoor painting.
Outside maintenance
lists could consist of gutter and downspout clearing. Old siding or damaged
trim can be replaced, along with torn window screens. Other outdoor maintenance
is checking the roof shingles. This can be done by a professional, but the few
squares replaced, can also be included in dumpster to maximize the use. Also,
yard cleanup with tree and shrub trimming, clearing away from the home and
electrical lines, is usually an annual job.
Total Cleanouts
The more frustrating
situations for property managers and landlords are total cleanouts. There are
situations when renters leave unexpectedly or abruptly, leaving behind a large
amount of trash and junk. The items could range from food to clothes, to broken
furniture or appliances, all unwanted by the tenant and left for the property
owner to remove.
There are also
unfortunate events such as flooding, storms, and even fire, that could create a
total cleanout, including the tenant’s damaged property.
Whether expected or
unexpected cleanup, the rental of a roll-off dumpster will quickly remove junk
and debris from rental properties, freeing them up to be leased again. Roll-offdumpsters are the smart choice for property managers and landlords!
