Make Improvements to Enhance Your Rentals

Chelsea Driscoll • Oct 30, 2019

Stress the Bathroom and the Kitchen. This should be no surprise because outside of the bedroom, those two areas are where people will spend most of their time. New shower curtains look beautiful and having the bathroom tile replaced periodically will help. Work in the kitchen means new appliances or better plumbing. Incidentally, buying appliances like dishwashers and refrigerators that have the Energy Star label are energy efficient and can save a landlord some money on energy bills.
Check out the Carpet. Carpeting that has holes in it or is threadbare and worn looks terrible. A landlord might consider replacing that old carpet with something that looks fresher. Dirty carpeting does not impress anyone and periodic carpet shampooing by professionals makes that floor covering look great.
Windows. Drapes and blinds are standard tools for making a room attractive. Something that is also efficient and economical is window film. This film is applied to a window’s surface. Window film keeps heat and air conditioning inside and blocks the ultraviolet light of the sun without making the room darker. The film can reduce heating and cooling expenses.
Curb Appeal. The outside is as important as the inside of a rental. Trash should be routinely collected, the lawn mowed, and any hedges trimmed. Seasonal flowers are beautiful and landscaping companies can do the planting.
Fresh Coats of Paint. New paint makes the unit look great. The work can be done as needed or every few years.

Time Is Precious

Landlords try to put improvements on the bucket list but often run into barriers. Time is limited, and property owners are busy. It isn’t easy to develop a property improvement schedule and stick to it. Property management companies in San Diego can help. Such professionals work on many property issues and property improvement is a routine task. Alta Vista Properties will help make a client’s rental property more appealing.
