To have your Cumming rental home protected and also be attractive to high-value renters, take a look at your exterior lighting. From basic safety to curb appeal, there are many reasons you should add exterior lighting to your rental home. If an exterior lighting system isn’t a feature in any of your rental properties yet, let’s go through some of the benefits you can enjoy from placing one.
The first benefit of exterior lighting is, well, light. Proper exterior lighting is necessary for the comfort and enjoyment of your tenants. They want to make use of the outdoor spaces in the evenings. They may want to use it for family gatherings, hanging out with friends, or even to just spend an evening alone, and the exterior lighting can make this happen, making it a big draw.
Everyone will also benefit from the improved safety and security exterior lighting offers. Many tenant injuries can be prevented by properly lighting the driveways, walkways, doors, and pools of your properties. Slips and falls are a major cause of tenant lawsuits and proper lighting can be extremely helping in avoiding these incidents.
Property values will rise and curb appeal will improve as well. A carefully designed exterior lighting system can enhance certain aspects of your property, create visual appeal, and showcase landscaping or architectural features. A house that is well-lit will not only make your property value better but will also bring in and hold quality renters.
Lastly, exterior lighting offers significant value when it comes to home security. Criminals or vandals studying which target to go for will often choose a house without a properly lit exterior. For areas that would benefit from lighting but don’t need to be lit all night long, you can place motion detecting lights. Think of them as a light-fueled mischief deterrent. The increased security also gives the tenants a better sense of safety, even convincing them to lengthen their stay.
For the reasons we’ve listed above, you should look at exterior lighting as a necessary investment for your Cumming rental home. By fitting exterior light fixtures in strategic areas, you can make a safe and attractive rental property that will yield high returns for you in the years to come.
