For most tenants, the exterior of a home is equally important as its interior. A well-maintained and aesthetically appealing outdoor space is important to create a good first impression on the minds of potential tenants. The moment they walk into the property, a finely trimmed lawn and beautifully decorated patio gives a welcoming feel as well as allows them to envision their life in the home.

Here are a few outdoor amenities that most tenants look for in a rental home:

• Landscaping: The landscaping of a home is what makes it more appealing than other properties in the area. A properly mowed lawn, blossoming flowers, trimmed plants add a touch of fineness. Make sure you maintain a beautiful landscape to catch the attention of tenants. If you have sprinklers installed, get them in proper working condition before any potential renter visits your property.
• Patio And Porch Spaces: If you have an outdoor living area, it should be properly furnished with appropriate seating options. You must choose stylish and durable furniture for your patio. Before the visit of the tenants, everything should be well-organized. The cushions should be thoroughly cleaned, chairs should be sturdy and if you have an umbrella, it should be washed with warm soapy water.
• Improve Lighting: Adding lighting fixtures can significantly contribute to increasing your curb appeal. You should install low voltage decorative lighting near the garage, sidewalks, driveway, patio, porch and lawn. This will not only enhance security but also magnify your rental home’s appearance during nighttime. If you have light fixtures already installed, make sure they are clean and in proper working condition before arrival of the tenants.
• Recreational Facilities: A lot of tenants also desire some kind of recreational facilities in the outdoor spaces. These may include a swimming pool, play area, BBQs and a space to host a party or get together. Adding these investments do not cost much but may end up fetching you a higher rent amount.
