Just because a house is for rent does not mean the landlord should ignore renovation when seeking a new tenant.  Here are the must-dos:

• Fresh Paint and touch-ups (nail holes and wall repairs).
• Update worn countertops (go for hard surface like quartz or natural stone).
• Flooring – nothing deters a renter like dirty, stained carpet.
• Update worn or outdated fixtures – faucets, showerheads, and towel bars.
• Do not underestimate the power of smell. Plug-ins and scent diffusers are great!

Doing these things will result in competitive edge, higher rental rate, and renters that appreciate good taste.

Please share your must-dos.  What should we add to the list?
