Tips to increase rent on your Adelaide property

When you have an Adelaide rental property, maintaining it well is one of the most important tasks you have to do as a landlord. A well maintained property also has the additional benefit of enabling you to attract better quality tenants and higher rental income.

Here are some quick, affordable and simple repairs and improvements you can do to help do this.

Clean your Adelaide property thoroughly

Aside from keeping the house clean in general, you would also do well to clean tiles, grout, carpets, curtains, and drapes, among other things. A clean house smells fresh, and this is a key selling point to potential tenants.

Upgrade appliances

You’ll be able to maximise rental return by upgrading appliances, particularly the dishwasher and oven. These appliances are often very important to renters. The same goes for air conditioning.

Give your Adelaide property a fresh coat of paint

A fresh coat of paint on the walls of your Adelaide rental property can go a long way making it look clean, new and modern. If we consider the preferences of potential tenants, your safest bet when it comes to painting is a neutral colour. Go for soft hues such as rain-cloud grey or white, all of which create a calming atmosphere that many people like. A trusted Adelaide Home Painter can help with this.

The bathroom and kitchen really matter

You may not have the budget for a complete bathroom or kitchen renovation, but replacing fixtures like faucets, showerheads, and toilet seats, and having the tiles re-grouted will give it a nice clean feel.

Add more useful storage

Tenants will always go for property that has ample storage in the form of cabinets, cupboards, built-in wardrobes and even a small outdoor garden shed.

It’s also a very quick and cost effective improvement to carry out.
