Limit service calls with Absolute Island Management

Well for many of us we have just finished getting bombarded with the first wave of A/C calls and corrected more than our share of undercharged units. Whew!

Historically what happens next when the A/C systems are up and running is condensation leaks. Condensation leaks can wreak havoc in your ceilings, on the carpet, and really make a mess while frustrating a resident.

Cleaning out drain pans and adding something as simple as a Sludge preventing drain tablet can save a fortune in time and frustration and prevent you from making a return trip. Let’s face it the last thing a technician wants to do is make several trips to the same home for the same or similar problem.

Keep in mind that condensation water is absolutely filthy and should be treated whenever it leaks. It has been known as a source to cause legionnaires disease so please be sure to disinfect any area that has come in contact with condensation. Many reports show that is carries more harmful bacteria than raw sewage.

An ounce of prevention will save you a pound of work so install the tablets and they will make a difference. Clean coils whenever you get a chance, and of course, the best time to install the drain tablets is during the turn process. If you make it a habit, I guarantee you’ll get fewer condensation leaks.

How to Boost Your Rental Property’s Curb Appeal

By Kevin Quat • April 1, 2025

Key Takeaways First Impressions Matter: Enhancing your rental property's curb appeal can attract more potential tenants and increase its value. Simple upgrades like fresh landscaping, a clean walkway, and a well-maintained exterior can make a big difference. Lighting and Maintenance Are Key: Good outdoor lighting improves both aesthetics and security, while regular maintenance—such as repainting the front door and cleaning gutters—keeps your property looking inviting and well-kept. Small Changes, Big Impact: You don’t need a full renovation to boost curb appeal. Adding potted plants, updating house numbers, or installing a stylish mailbox can create an instant visual upgrade with minimal effort.

Should I Allow Tenants to Paint My Rental Property?

By Kevin Quat • April 1, 2025

Key Takeaways Maintain Clear Communication: When tenants request to paint, it's important to discuss expectations and guidelines upfront. This ensures both parties understand the conditions and helps maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship. Set Specific Conditions: If you decide to allow painting, consider setting parameters such as approved color palettes, designated areas, and requirements for repainting upon move-out. This approach helps preserve the property's appeal for future tenants. Consider Alternatives: If you're hesitant about permanent changes, suggest removable options like high-quality, removable wallpaper. This allows tenants to personalize their space without causing lasting alterations to the property.
