Maintaining Your Home

Renting a single-family home means more freedom, privacy, and space to enjoy; it also means added responsibility. While ResiHome is responsible for major updates and maintenance issues, you as a renter, are responsible for maintaining your rental home. This includes routine tasks such as landscaping, pest control, and winterizing your home. Maintaining your rental home ensures that you and your loved ones will get maximum enjoyment out of your home for years to come.

Irrigation System Details

(if applicable)

Ensuring that your lawn is well-watered is an important part of properly maintaining your rental home, so it’s important to note the following:

  • If your home is new, keep the current sprinkler setting for one month, unless told otherwise, to allow the sod to grow properly.

  • All other times, please adjust your sprinkler settings in line with your county or municipality usage regulations or to your preferred setting (recommended twice per week, 15 mins each time).

  • Many new homes use Rainbird or Hunter Irrigation Systems so please read their online manuals or refer to the information located on the interior door of your irrigation box.
  • Depending on the location of your rental home, an average water bill with irrigation costs included can range anywhere between $150-200/month after your first month. 

  • Maintaining a healthy lawn is part of your standard resident responsibility.
