The power of real estate management to protect assets and lifestyles

It is no exaggeration to say that the key to maintaining the value of rental properties, which are important assets to owners, is routine maintenance. Maintenance involves regular inspections of the exterior walls, rooftop, common corridors, entrances, parking lots, and gardens, as well as simple repairs as needed. For example, checking to see if the tiles on the exterior walls are loose or peeling, whether the lights in the common areas are out, and whether the asphalt in the parking lot is peeling, as well as pruning and weeding the plants in the garden.

Facility maintenance can be divided into "statutory inspections" and "voluntary inspections." Legal inspections are inspections that are required by law, while voluntary inspections are carried out voluntarily by real estate management companies. Legal inspections include inspections of fire extinguishers and fire alarms under the Fire Service Act, inspections of water tanks under the Water Supply Act, maintenance, cleaning, and water quality testing of septic tanks under the Septic Tank Act, and regular inspections of elevators under the Building Standards Act and the Industrial Safety and Health Act. However, elevator maintenance is sometimes not carried out through the management company.

Cleaning services can be said to prevent a decline in asset value by maintaining the beauty of the building and ensuring a comfortable living environment for tenants. This cleaning service mainly consists of daily cleaning such as sweeping, and regular cleaning such as high-pressure washing of hallways and entrances.
