But how can you make your home attractive to quality renters? Check out this list of items that renters want in a landlord and in a rental property (compiled based on online discussions on this topic.)
- Clean, well maintained interior and exterior.
- A home that is free of bugs, pets, and other uninvited guests.
- Well insulated units in a multi-unit building so that tenants cannot hear each other from one apartment to the next.
- Updated appliances in good working order.
- A landlord who looks, speaks, and acts professionally.
- A safe home. Anything that makes the property more secure is a plus.
- Convenient parking.
- Quick response when there is an issue, such as needed maintenance.
- Reasonable handling of security deposit - renters do not appreciate being charged for "normal wear and tear."
- Ample storage space.
