Landlord maintenance checklist for Dublin rentals

Clear gutters and check downpipes before winter.

Check smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and replace batteries.

Re-seal baths and showers where silicone has gone black or lifted.

Check that doors, windows and locks open, close and secure properly.

Fix wall damage from fixings, touch up small marks and replace broken fittings.

Wash driveways, patios and bin areas so the property shows well.

Clean exterior windows.

Write down what was checked and when. It helps with Residential Tenancies Board standards and makes the next inspection easier.
