1 Preventive Maintenance Program

2 Introduction Village Properties at Sunriver announces a new Preventive Maintenance Program.** This program has been created to better determine the condition of occupied homes. Often trouble lurks in unknown areas and resulting problems may not be realized until the problem is an emergency, for example attic condensation resulting in mold. The key to maintaining a profitable rental property is identifying and resolving potential concerns before a problem can arise. Purpose To check all major components of a house including structure, roofing, electrical, heating and cooling, insulation, plumbing and interior on a routine basis in order to document and advise property owner of conditions that may need attention. Scope To Address and identify conditions relevant to the integrity of an occupies rental property. ** NOTE: The Preventive Maintenance Program is designed for homes that have been occupied longer than one year. Inspections of new properties coming into the management of Village Properties are identified as New Property Inspections. Move Out Inspections are those which occur after a tenant moves out for the purpose of identifying any charges against an outgoing tenant s security deposit.

3 Facts and Statistics 7 Principles of a Healthy Home Dry Clean Safe Ventilated Pest Free Maintained Contaminant Free Play offence, not defense. Proactive maintenance is key to preventing small problems from becoming big issues. Without proactive maintenance your home could lose 10% of its value. Routine maintenance can increase the value of a home by 1% each year. The net effect of regular maintenance is to slow the rate of depreciation. Over time, annual maintenance costs average more than $3,300, according to data from the U.S. Census. Directors Credit Union and LendingTree.com, agree, placing maintenance costs at 1% to 3% of a homes initial price. This means owners of a $200,000 house should plan to budget $2,000 to $6,000 per year for ongoing upkeep and replacements.
