Preparing Your Property for Rent: A North Shore Landlord’s Checklist
A well-prepared property attracts better tenants, rents faster, and commands higher value. Before listing, take time to prepare your property properly—it’s one of the best investments you can make as a landlord.
1. Make a Great First Impression
Clean, bright, and freshly presented homes photograph and show better.
2. Ensure Safety & Compliance
Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, locks, and Massachusetts rental safety requirements.
3. Schedule Preventative Maintenance
Fix small issues before they grow—test appliances, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing.
4. Stage for Success
Professional photos and floorplans make your listing stand out and attract serious tenants faster.
