3. Curb Appeal is Essential
Land and Keep Great Tenants at www.zora.io
Clear away trash, trim bushes, mow the grass and add a colourful pot of flowers to
the porch or stoop. Fresh flowers inside brighten, as well.
Replace light bulbs, indoors and out, and repair and touch up exterior items like
chipped paint, dirt smudges around doorknobs, broken banisters or fencing, torn
screens, a leaning mailbox (or one that flaps open).

4. Invest in new and proper garbage receptacles, if needed. Check address numbers,
and make sure they are visible and attractive.
These items are inexpensive to fix and will more than repay you with the property’s
improved appearance.

5. Bathrooms and kitchens are the most important rooms in a rental, and are rooms
where absolute spotlessness will go far in making a positive impression.
Mop floors — especially in corners, which may have been neglected by the previous
or departing tenant.

6. Remove traces of mold and lime deposits from showers and toilets, make
hardware shine, hang fresh towels, and see that bathroom tile grout has been well
scrubbed and sprayed with an anti-mold spray to bleach away all traces of mold.
Mirrors and reflective surfaces should shine.

7. Dust and cobwebs should be cleared away and surfaces cleaned and dusted.
New handles and knobs can give cabinets a pick-me-up, and cabinet doors can be
inexpensively resurfaced. Touch up paint can cover chips and nicks. Appliance
surfaces should be cleaned, and stainless steel covers can be purchased to put
over still-functional but worn appliances. And remember, a $25 can of white or
beige paint will dramatically improve any interior.

8. If the property is still occupied, solicit the cooperation of departing tenants in
making these preparations. If you have been happy with them as tenants, offer
them a finder’s fee for referring people they know who are in the market for a
similar rental, and who might be as pleasant as they have been.
Remember, birds of a feather DO flock together.
