How important is technology to renters
As technology expands in our lives, how important is it for
Landlords to keep up and make sure homes are technology friendly. At this
point, I have not had anyone ask me about the technology in the home they are
thinking about renting, but it will be to the Landlords benefit to start to
implement some of the technology that is available for Tenants.
First: Installing a Programmable thermostat
A number of programmable smart thermostats that can be controlled from
smart phones and tablets intuitively understand when to turn on heating or
cooling systems based on the home’s energy profile, outside weather and other
data points. Many are capable of helping to save up to $180 a year.
Next: Bluetooth-enabled door locks
I love this technology and I think this will be wide spread to all homes in
the next couple of years.
Next: Security systems with real time monitoring
Security is becoming more and more an issue to Tenants, so if a Landlord
can provide a good security system that can be a plus.
The three I mentioned are very reasonable and could enhance the appeal of a
property. There are many more ways to make a home technology friendly and if a
Landlord implements these technology one at a time, the cost will be negligible.
