How To Charge for Convenience Upgrades Your Tenants Will Love
Don’t just raise rent — offer smarter, optional add-ons that boost your income and your tenant’s satisfaction.
Small Add-Ons, Big Monthly Profit
Want to increase income without risking tenant turnover? Offer optional convenience upgrades. These services make your tenants’ lives easier — and give you steady, predictable cash flow.
1. Paid Appliance Upgrades
Offer upgraded appliances (like stainless steel or energy-efficient washers) for $25–$50/month extra. Many tenants will happily pay for the upgrade if it improves daily living.
2. Keyless Entry and Smart Locks
Smart lock access = peace of mind. Charge a one-time $50–$100 installation fee or a small monthly fee ($10–$15) for secure, tech-friendly access.
3. Reserved Storage or Bike Racks
Unused basement corners, garage walls, or small sheds can become paid storage zones. Rent them out for $15–$75/month depending on size and market.
