Property Maintenance Checklist: 25 Points to Inspect Regularly

A comprehensive property maintenance checklist to protect your investment and maintain value.

Quick answer

Inspect rental property on three schedules: monthly quick checks of leaks, switches, AC filters and doors; a thorough six-monthly inspection of the roof, drains, fire systems, water tanks and gas lines; and an annual review of the structure, main electrics, plumbing and lifts. A 200 SAR leak left for a week can cause over 5,000 SAR of damage.
