How to "Tenant Proof" Your Rentals! Share Your Tips!
Hey everyone, so I was working on my duplex today asking myself what all could be done to "Tenant Proof" my rentals. Share your tips and tricks!
I happened to be installing shelving today and I like to stay away from the the plastic shelf brackets that don't always land on a stud. I like to hang my shelves on a 1x3 that I paint the color of the wall. I make sure the 1x3 is at least 16" long so I will span from stud to stud. The last thing I want is my tenant to over load the shelf and it pulls out the cheap plastic bracket from the drywall.
Below is what I like to stay away from unless they happen to land on a stud. I find that they pull away from the drywall if the tenant overloads the shelf.
