Common Maintenance Issues & How to Prevent Them

Keeping a rental property in good condition is essential for tenant satisfaction and long-term value. Here are the most common maintenance issues Boise landlords face—and how to prevent them.

1. Plumbing Problems

Leaky faucets, clogged drains, and water heater failures are common. Preventative maintenance includes regular plumbing inspections and tenant education on proper use.

2. HVAC System Failures

Boise’s cold winters and hot summers make HVAC maintenance critical. Have systems serviced annually and replace air filters regularly.

3. Roof Leaks & Structural Damage

Heavy snow and rain can cause roof leaks. Annual inspections and gutter cleaning help prevent costly damage.

4. Pest Infestations

Rodents and insects can become an issue if not addressed early. Sealing entry points and scheduling regular pest control can keep your rental pest-free.

5. Appliance Malfunctions

Older appliances break down frequently. Upgrading to energy-efficient models reduces maintenance costs and increases tenant satisfaction.

6. Working with a Property Management Company
