HAVING A RECORD OF THE EXACT PAINT OR TILE USED IN A HOME WILL SAVE TIME AND MONEY

 

1.   Many rental homes were recently painted or re-tiled.

 

2.   Paint or tile is often left on the premises in the garage or closets.

 

3.   If the paint or tile was NOT left on the premises, the person who painted or tiled or the owner may know the paint or tile code, brand, type, or style and the Property Manager should find out this information and put it into the Owner file.

 

4.   If the paint or tile is left on the premises, the Tenant needs to be told to LEAVE IT ALONE and, the Property Manager needs to document exactly what it is.

 

5.   Having the partially used or leftover paint or tile OR, knowing the paint or tile code, brand, type, and/or style can eliminate the need for fully repainting  rooms or retiling floors as more can easily be purchased and you can get often the EXACT color or style used for a near perfect match with repainting, touchup or tile repairs.

 

6.  The Property Manager is an ASSET MANAGER and should take the time to document the paint or tile anticipating that there will be a repair, repaint or touchup needed in the future.

 

7.  When you do your initial inspection or routine inspections, you need to verify the presence of the paint or tile if some was left behind by the painter, tile person or Owner. Ask the Owner for all info on any paint or tile used.

 

8.  If there is paint or tile left on the premises, the Lease Agreement should state that it shall remain with the premises BUT, you cannot trust the Tenant to leave it untouched.  Often it will disappear.

 

THINK AHEAD TO THE FUTURE WHEN THE PREMISES HAS DAMAGE TO THE PAINT OR TILE. SAVE YOUR OWNER TIME AND MONEY BY FULL DOCUMENTATION OF ANY PAINT OR TILE USED.
