Letting Tenants Decorate: Yes or No?



It's can be a tough call, do you let your tenants decorate or not? You don't want your tenants to live in a sterile place without any personalisation; by allowing your tenants to personalise their living space, you are increasing the likelihood that they will be happy tenants and stay a while. However, are you opening the floodgates for tenants make more and more (unapproved) changes, which means you spend more time and money correcting the changes when they move out?

So which side of the line do you stand? The Yes or the No? Or is there a way to create a happy medium? A way to keep control of the quality of the property and the happiness of the tenants?

There are some distinct advantages to having tenants be involved in decorating their space, after all it is their home, even if it is your house.
