Living in a rental doesn’t mean you can’t take care of your space. At Grant & Main, we believe informed tenants help keep properties in great shape, which benefits everyone. Our Detroit Property Management team works hard to respond to issues quickly, but small proactive steps on your end go a long way.
Here are a few tips every Grant & Main renter should know:
- Know Your Shut-Offs
Learn where the main water shut-off valve is located. If a pipe leaks or a toilet overflows, turning off the water quickly can prevent major damage. Our Detroit Property Management team can show you where it is during move-in if needed.
- Don’t Ignore Small Issues
A dripping faucet or slowly draining sink might not seem urgent, but they often signal a bigger problem. Reporting these early helps Grant & Main address things before they get worse and more expensive.
- Avoid Grease and Wipes in Drains
Nothing ruins a weekend like a clogged pipe. Even “flushable” wipes can block plumbing. Dispose of grease and hygiene products properly to avoid service calls.
- Check Furnace Filters
In some rentals, tenants are responsible for swapping out air filters. If unsure, ask. Keeping them clean helps your HVAC work efficiently and saves you on utility bills.
- Use the Tenant Portal
Always use Grant & Main’s online portal to report maintenance needs. It ensures our Detroit Property Management team can track and respond to your request promptly.
Being proactive keeps your home comfortable and helps preserve your security deposit. A little attention goes a long way and Grant & Main is always here to support you.
