Appearances Matter

Appearance Covers A Lot of Ground
All real estate professionals suggest a fresh coat of paint and flowers near the property. It's all nice, but there is more to it because rental property can be on the market nearly all the time. Maintaining a good look is an ongoing chore.
Tenants Are Major Players
Those who live in rental apartments or houses are important. Landlords rely on these people to keep a property from deteriorating. A tenant can easily do small things such as taking out the trash and washing the windows. Damage is a different topic. Someone living in an apartment might not know how to repair a hole in the wall or a remove a carpet stain and cover the problem with a picture or with a rug.
Unruly residents couldn't care less about appearance. They think it is not their property and, consequently, not their worry. Few tenants in San Diego are that irresponsible. Nevertheless, there are enough of them for property owners to be concerned.
Repair Work Must Be Done
Repairs should be done every time there is damage. A building contractor might decide to cut corners and save costs, while still billing a higher price to the landlord. The results might be substandard repairs which do not meet building code requirements. Fines and other penalties can be incurred because of shoddy repairs.
Property owners might think of repair work as something they can do. That perhaps is true if there are only one or two rentals. An extensive real estate portfolio can make things difficult. Owners are not always able to do the maintenance work in many locations. The apartments will suffer from neglect, and that makes it difficult to attract good tenants.
