What is NOT included in a maintenance program?

A maintenance program typically encompasses activities that ensure the ongoing upkeep and functionality of a property. This includes preventative maintenance, which aims to identify and address potential issues before they become serious problems, handling maintenance requests from tenants or property users to ensure timely responses to issues, and conducting routine inspections to monitor the condition of the property and spot any necessary repairs.

Negotiating lease terms, however, falls outside the scope of a maintenance program. While it is essential for property management, lease negotiations relate more to tenant agreements, rental rates, and conditions of occupancy rather than the physical maintenance and upkeep of the property itself. This distinction is crucial as it clarifies the primary focus of a maintenance program on preserving the property’s value and ensuring tenant satisfaction through effective upkeep, rather than addressing legal or financial aspects associated with leases.
