There are many considerations and circumstances that come into play when you are a Landlord and choosing a tenant to rent your property. One of the main considerations can be what type of flooring your rental should have. You want the rooms to look good, and have a cozy feel, so you’ve chosen to go with carpeting, but you must also be practical, while choosing carpet that is durable and will last a long time. Protecting your investment is key when choosing carpet. What is the best carpet for your rental?
Here are the best carpeting tips for rental properties.
1. Durability
When choosing carpet for rental properties the goal is to choose something that will withstand constant traffic, and will look good for a long time. The cost of the carpet is a major consideration, but so is the durability.
2. Colour
We’ve all had the temptation to pick our favourite colours when renovating or replacing something for the home. When choosing the best carpet for your rental home however, your best bet is to stick with neutral colours that can appeal to just about anyone who might rent the property.
3. Noise Reduction
Carpet can help keep noise levels down. Try to choose a tight, short pile for easier care, and some kind of stain resistance to help it last longer. More plush styles can be great in bedrooms, but it can trap odours, so this type is best kept away from bathrooms and kitchens.
4. Regular Cleaning
Regardless of what type of you choose, regular cleaning is essential to prolonging the life of your rental property carpet. Maintaining a regular cleaning schedule saves more money over time and increases the value of your investment. A skilled carpet cleaning company can not only keep your carpets healthy, but also offer other services, like treating upholstery, and tile and grout cleaning.
