How To Monetize Parking Without Upsetting Tenants
Parking is in high demand. Here’s how to charge for it fairly, profitably, and without losing good tenants.
Turn Your Driveway or Lot Into Cash
Parking is one of the most overlooked income streams for small landlords. If you’ve got a driveway, carport, garage, or even a paved alley — you’ve got rental value. Here’s how to charge for it smartly:
1. Separate Parking From Rent
Instead of including parking in base rent, list it as an add-on. $25–$125/month depending on your location and availability. This makes rent appear lower — while still bringing in extra revenue.
2. Offer Premium Spots or Covered Parking
If you have multiple spots, offer a tiered system: reserved, covered, or shaded spaces command a premium over general parking.
3. Rent Unused Spaces to Neighbors
If your tenant doesn’t need the space, list it on platforms like Spacer or Facebook Marketplace. Commuters and local workers are often desperate for monthly spots.
