We created this ‘Minor Maintenance Checklist’ to help your team proactively engage in preventative maintenance so that you can best maintain the quality of your properties. Inspecting and documenting these deeper property care and maintenance needs makes it easier to meet owner expectations for top-to-bottom asset management, while equipping you with higher quality units and experiences for guests. Created from a synthesis of millions of inspections and maintenance repairs on Breezeway’s property care platform, this checklist can be used between reservations or after the end of busy season to help fortify your asset management programs.
