Simple Upgrades That Make Tenants Happier (And Stay Longer)
Happy tenants stick around and take better care of your property. Here are low-cost upgrades they’ll love.
Small Changes, Big Tenant Impact
Keeping tenants happy isn’t about granite countertops. It’s about comfort, convenience, and care. Here are simple, affordable upgrades that make a real difference — and help you keep good tenants longer:
1. Replace Blinds With Modern Shades
Old blinds break easily and feel dated. Upgrading to modern roller shades or faux wood blinds costs around $100–$200 per unit and instantly refreshes the look.
2. Add USB Outlets
Tenants love convenience. Swapping out two wall outlets for USB-capable ones shows attention to detail — and costs less than $50 total.
3. Upgrade the Shower Experience
A high-quality shower head makes the entire bathroom feel better. It's a $30–$75 upgrade that tenants will notice daily.
Track and Schedule Easily
