Even just a smart thermostat (if HOA allows) and a smart lock on the front door make the place feel more “premium” and attract better tenants, especially mid-term renters.3.

I've seen the heat thermostat on at 80 with windows open (because it was too hot) when it was 35 degrees outside.

The "utility" closet, where the AC unit was located, was unfinished, with exposed metal studs, and various wires for the thermostat, power, and other items draped around loosely.

Absolutely have a smart thermostat in any mid-term rental.Accepting pets will make you more and will help you avoid vacancy, but it comes at a cost.

Nothing wrong with having a kosher kitchen.HVAC is going to be controlled by whichever apt has the thermostat.

Another angle is small efficiency upgrades like smart thermostats, energy-efficient lighting, or landscaping, it’s amazing how much tenants notice and will pay for convenience and aesthetics.

I've had E4's that were amazed and confused by the kitchen food disposer; people that would not attempt to change a fluorescent tube; and lots of tenants that complained because they set the thermostat at 80 on a windy below zero day and refused to accept that the furnace was working perfectly (which it was) in their 60 year old rental unit.

Exterior cameras for visibility, smart locks with access logs, noise monitors to prevent parties, leak detectors, and smart thermostats.

Their customer service team is awesome too if you get stuck.If you are using the Schlage Encode smart locks or any other compatible lock and thermostats, you can connect these to Hospitable as well so it will generate unique codes for each of your guests automatically and adjust the temperature when guests are not there!

Smart thermostats: I have temperature sensors (or smart thermostats) installed in each unit because I want to make sure the tenants don't turn off the heat in winter.
