When choosing fabrics, furniture, and finishes, look for durable materials that hold up well, are easy to clean, resist staining.
Today’s long-term renters expect furniture that looks modern and feels comfortable. Invest in the best you can afford, prioritizing items like sofas, mattresses, bedding, and towels.
Function and comfort means standard items like bedside tables and lamps, comfortable bedding and pillows, storage space, bath mats, and a good coffee maker. But don’t forget technology must-haves like cable TV, wifi, power strips, a handy place to charge phones, and more than one desk to set up a laptop.
Comfort also means top-notch air conditioning for Charleston’s hot summers, screens on all windows and doors, and ceiling fans.
Regularly test all your appliances—from the washing machine to the toaster—to ensure they are in perfect working condition. How? Use them yourself at regular intervals. Old, worn-out appliances won’t attract modern renters. Make sure large and small appliances are up-to-date.
Charleston attracts long-term renters for the warm year-round climate. Outdoor living spaces are a must-have for property owners with long-term rental homes.
Comfort and functionality are key considerations when choosing outdoor furniture. Renters need enough furnishings to dine and relax outdoors. That means plenty of dining chairs, a large dining table with an umbrella, and comfortable lounge chairs. There are plenty of durable options that are also high-end with a touch of luxury.
No home in the Charleston area is far from a beautiful beach. Equip your rental home with beach essentials. Think beach umbrellas, beach chairs, beach towels, a portable cooler, and a wheeled cart.
