HOA Property Maintenance Checklist

Conducting regular maintenance checks and coordinating repairs is, of course, a major responsibility for the HOA management team.

This HOA Property Maintenance Checklist can be easily assigned to a third-party vendor or another party responsible for performing maintenance work. It guides you through maintenance work in all of the key areas:

• Exterior (e.g. paint, windows, roof)
• Interior (e.g. flooring, walls, vents)
• Utilities (e.g. air conditioning, water, gas)
• Common areas (e.g. gates, fences, landscaping)

Not only will this checklist assist the leadership team in identifying and coordinating maintenance, but will also be appreciated by other community members as it demonstrates an active, organized effort to keep their properties in excellent condition.

When finishing the process, the checklist will help you put together a maintenance report, which can be a hugely valuable piece of documentation for your records when reviewing maintenance work done in your community.

Let’s get started.
