INCREASE RENTS AS PERMITTED BY LAW
ENHANCE PROPERTY APPEAL
TURN YOUR ROOFTOP INTO A GARDEN
A unique and creative way to boost value and rent this summer is by transforming unused rooftop space into a functional garden. This idea not only offers tenants a relaxed, peaceful escape, but also promotes wellness through the pride of growing their own herbs, vegetables, and flowers. It turns everyday living into something special. Costs can be surprisingly manageable, basic setups with raised beds and irrigation can start under $5,000, depending on the size. In urban or dense suburban areas, this amenity greatly stands out, enhances community, and commands premium rent by blending sustainability with modern living.
To increase value and demand more rent this summer, focus on enhancing property appeal. Start with fresh paint and landscaping to boost curb appeal. Consider adding amenities like outdoor seating or BBQ areas for summer enjoyment. Upgrade appliances or fixtures to modernize spaces. Promote energy efficiency, as renters value lower utility costs. Additionally, market the property effectively, highlighting nearby attractions or events. Lastly, flexible lease terms should be considered to attract more tenants.
Summer is the perfect time to increase rental property value and income! For existing tenants in California, take advantage of the Tenant Protection Act’s allowable rent increase, new limits are released in summer, and if you don’t use it, you lose it. For vacant units, first impressions matter. Keep the vacant space spotless, add fresh paint, and consider an upgrade from old carpet to luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. Highlight energy-efficient appliances and modern finishes to justify higher rents. Well-maintained properties attract top-paying tenants. And don’t forget to take full interior photos just before move-in to stay compliant in California!
