Chris, I don't have a template I can give you, but we check/change air filters, smoke detector batteries and do a look over the overall condition of the interior and exterior of the house. 

I rented out my SFR nearly two years ago; the same tenants have been there the whole time.The last time I went over for a regular maintenance visit, a couple of months ago, one of them asked me how often I had put batteries (2 AA) in the thermostat while I was working on the house. 

If the smart lock battery dies, or the tenant loses the mechanical key to the smart lock, or the PIN on the smart lock is smarter than the tenant is at 2:30 AM on Saturday or Sunday morning, or the smart lock manufacturer pushes a bad firmware update, or the local bad guys push a bad firmware update, then the tenant can still use a mechanical key on the side door or back door and get in the house.For the lowest cost, you might have the smart lock on the main/front door with mechanical key A, a mechanical lock on the back/side door that they will probably use most often with mechanical key B, and then three keyed-alike mechanical locks on the other three doors that have mechanical key C.  

Those specifics and also sprinkler heads, batteries on thermostats, and  unclog a garbage disposal, . 

Cordless and Battery powered for those projects where only a small amount of paint is needed and power supply is an issue.

Here's a course by Troy Fullwood, https://mortgageinvestorpro.com/module-1/, keep in mind this was a course that Troy charged $20k for about 10 years ago but now it's available online for free. 

I agree with everyone else here who highlighted the importance of staying on top of maintenance in old buildings, we achieve regular inspections through filter changes and CO2/smoke detector battery changes.

So I want everything battery powered.

I have had an issue with it and it doesn't need internet or batteries.
