Want to Rent Your Vacant Properties? Try Renovating Them
|

Are you a small independent landlord trying to rent your properties? Consider renovating them. A recent
survey indicates that over half of small, independent landlords are renovating vacant properties in an effort to
differentiate themselves from the competition and attract tenants. Renovations don’t just help you attract new
tenants; they help you retain current tenants as well.
“With so many homes and apartments sitting empty, landlords want their properties to stand out from the
competition,” says Tracey Benson, president of The National Association of Independent Landlords. “Even if
landlords have no rent coming in, they need to bite the bullet and make improvements to put their properties
on renters’ short lists.”
The Association recently conducted a survey of landlords across the country and found that over half (52%) of
smaller, independent landlords who expect the difficult rental market to continue are renovating their vacant
properties. Over three-quarters of these landlords (76%) are doing so in an effort to attract tenants, while 42%
of respondents said they are renovating to keep current tenants from moving.
But you don’t need to install high-end accoutrements like granite counters, stainless steel appliances or
laminate floors to attract or retain tenants. Even low-budget investments like new carpeting or a fresh coat of
paint can make a difference.



“Just about any improvement will make a property look better than one that hasn’t received much TLC,” Benson says.
For more information on how to attract or retain tenants in your apartment properties, or to learn about available properties, give our CENTURY 21
office a call today. We have Commercial and Property Management specialists available to help you with your rental needs.
