Spring Maintenance Checklist for Your Portland Rental Property  

Clean the gutters--Portland has a lot of trees, and a lot of rain! Pine needles, leaves and other debris need to be removed to prepare the rental property for Spring showers. Ensure the weight of snow and ice did not cause the gutters to separate from the home.

Trim trees--Trimming trees in the early Spring will help sunlight reach grass and other plants. This is also an opportunity to make sure branches are not in contact with the structure. 

Change air filters--For optimal air quality and to keep the HVAC system in good working order, replace the air filters seasonally. 

Check vents--Check along the rental property foundation and in the attic for missing or damaged screens, debris or signs of rodent or insect infestation. 

Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors--Install new batteries and test all detectors.

Inspect roof--Check for damage and leaks. This work plus gutter cleaning is the best way to make sure your property interior stays dry. Spring is also a great time to apply moss killer to the roof of your rental properties.  

Inspect exterior of property--Touch up paint as needed, repair/replace damaged window screens, consider pressure washing the siding.
