Good housekeeping can save you a
great deal of time and keep your rental flat in tip top shape every time
despite your busy schedule. Many short
term rentals do provide housekeeping services for rentals, but you might
have to recruit your own cleaning crew for when renting an apartment for
significantly long periods. Reputable housekeeping services also serve as a
home owner's eyes and ears, allowing them to keep their peace of mind about the
condition of the rental even when other people or another family is residing in
their beloved second home. When looking for good housekeeping services, it is
best to talk to other home owners in the area and ask for recommendations for
trustworthy and professional housekeepers along with maintenance people to keep
your home. Contrary to popular belief, other rental owners are not your
enemies. They may be fierce competitors in the market, but they can also be
your best resource when it comes to agents, housekeeping services, and other
related services that you might need to properly maintain your rental.
It is best to know your repairmen
and housekeepers personally so as to establish a good working relationship with
them. This is especially important when you barely have time to check in on
your property for months at a time. You may also leave this responsibility with
your property manager or agent, but make sure you are able to find a good
company with a strong reputation in the industry. Don't forget to cast your net
for referrals from your local network and consider hiring a service that can
customize their services for your property's unique cleaning and maintenance
requirements. It is also important to perform due diligence when it comes to
checking for licenses, insurance, and bonds for the service you are about to
hire.
