Top 12 Things on Tenants Wish Lists

Top 12 Things on Tenants Wish Lists
How to attract good tenants, and keep them. Here is our list of features that tenants look for when searching for their next rental home

 

1. Toasty Warmth – A Dunedin Essential

At Propertyscouts Dunedin, we know that warmth is a winner! Tenants love rentals with good heating options—think fires, heat pumps, and heating that covers the whole house, from the living room to the hallways. When it’s cold outside, a warm home is the perfect retreat, and it’s a top priority for quality tenants in our chilly Dunedin climate.

2. Easy Access & Parking Perfection

Tenants value easy access to their homes, which includes secure and convenient parking options. Whether it’s a driveway, dedicated parking spots, or a cozy garage, it will be a winner come viewing day

3. Garaging & Storage Galore

Active tenants love having space for their gear. A garage or a good storage shed is like having a treasure chest for bikes, gardening tools, or weekend adventure equipment. At Propertyscouts, we know that secure storage is a must for many tenants who enjoy Dunedin’s outdoor adventures!

4. Easy-Care Outdoor Spaces

Less work, more play! An easy-care section with a flat, barked yard is a big hit, especially with busy professionals and families. Your tenants will thank you for a yard that looks great without demanding hours of upkeep.

5. Dishwasher Delight

Busy lives call for convenience, and a dishwasher is a must-have for many Dunedin families. It’s one of those little luxuries that make daily chores a breeze, leaving more time for what really matters.

6. Double Glazing – A Dunedin Dream

Dunedin winters can be chilly, but with double glazing, tenants stay warm and cozy. This feature doesn’t just keep the heat in—it also dampens noise, making for a more peaceful home environment.

7. Storage, Storage, Storage!

You can never have too much storage, right? Quality tenants look for homes with ample space inside—built-in closets, pantries, and cabinets that keep everything in its place.

8. Clean & Tidy – First Impressions Count

A clean, well-presented property is key to attracting quality tenants. A spotless home shows care, and tenants are more likely to keep it that way.

9. Well-Maintained and Worry-Free

When everything’s in working order, tenants can relax and enjoy their home—no stress, no hassle, just happy living.

10. Modern Kitchen, Happy Tenants

The kitchen is the heart of any home. Tenants love up-to-date appliances, deep drawers, and clever storage solutions that make meal prep and organization a breeze. It’s not just a kitchen—it’s a place to gather, cook, and create memories.

11. Two Bathrooms or a Separate Toilet—Yes, Please!

Sharing one bathroom can be a morning nightmare! It’s a simple feature that makes life so much easier, especially for families or housemates, reducing the morning rush stress.

12. Pet Friendly

A house is more than just a building—it is a home where tenants create memories and raise families.  For many household pets are family, so we see high demand for tenant who have pets.
