Spring Property Maintenance
Spring Ready: Easy Home Tips for Tenants
Spring has finally arrived in Perth! The mornings are still crisp, but the days are getting warmer and brighter – which makes it the perfect time to give your home a little refresh. Here are some simple things you can do around the property this season to keep it comfortable, healthy and ready for summer.
Get Your Reticulation Going
After winter hibernation, it’s time to switch the sprinklers back on from 1 September. Run a quick check to make sure:
- The system is working properly.
- Sprinkler heads aren’t blocked or leaking.
- Your watering days line up with Water Corporation’s roster (https://www.watercorporation.com.au/waterwise/watering-days/check-your-watering-days)
A little attention now means happy gardens when the summer heat hits.
Fresh Air = No Mould
Cool mornings and warm days can lead to condensation – the perfect recipe for mould. To keep your home fresh:
- Open windows and doors when you can.
- Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens.
- Wipe away any condensation straight away.
Good airflow is one of the easiest ways to keep your place healthy.
Beat the Heat Early – Check your Air conditioner
Don’t wait for the first 35-degree day to find out your air con isn’t working! Spring is the time to:
- Test the system and make sure it’s cooling properly.
- Clean or replace filters.
- Report any issues before summer demand kicks in.
Your future self will thank you.
Outdoor Spring Clean
A little tidy-up goes a long way:
- Sweep balconies, courtyards and patios.
- Pull weeds and trim overgrown plants.
- Clear leaves from drains so they don’t cause blockages later.
Keep Creepy Crawlies Out
Warmer weather = ants, spiders and cockies moving back in. Keep them under control by:
- Sealing food and cleaning up crumbs.
- Keeping benches and floors clear of spills.
- Reporting any pest issues early.
Let the Sunshine In
Now’s a good time to clean windows and check flyscreens. Fresh breezes + no bugs = spring win!
A bit of spring care now keeps your home comfy and hassle-free all summer long.
