Should You Replace Interior And Exterior Lighting At Your Rental Property? Yes!

It doesn’t matter if you own a single-family home, condo, townhome, or duplex, one of your goals should be to replace the interior and exterior lighting at your rental property.

Replacing interior and exterior lighting is important because many owners typically only focus on replacing interior or exterior lighting, instead of doing both.

Replacing all of the light fixtures at your rental property will help you to have confidence that your property’s lighting has a freshly updated, uniform look, without looking good on the outside but dated on the inside. 

Tips For Replacing Interior Lighting

Replace Old Light Fixtures – If the inside of your property has more than one light fixture that look like they were made in the 1970s, you should replace those fixtures immediately with new pendant lights, or other modern light fixtures.

Add Ambient Lighting – Once you replace the current light fixtures inside your property, the next thing to do is to focus on adding ambient lighting. This is important because ambient lighting will bring light to areas inside your property that may be dark, even when the lights are turned on inside. 

Add Task Lighting – From adding lights under counters, to lights in closets, you should consider adding task lighting to your rental property. 

Tips For Improving Outdoor Lighting

Clean Up Existing Outdoor Lights – If it’s been some time since you last had the exterior lights at your rental property cleaned, you should have those light fixtures cleaned up because they may just need some TLC instead of replacing them.

Let’s say that the outdoor light fixtures do look dated, in this case, you shouldn’t hesitate to replace those light fixtures with modern lights that also highlight the exterior features of your property.

Light Up Outdoor Paths – Does your rental property have a front or back yard? If so, you should add lights to those paths because one of your goals should also be for your tenants to feel safe when they are walking the exterior of the property at night. 

Add Accent Lights – If your rental property has nice landscaping, you should consider adding accent lights. These lights will highlight the landscaping while also adding an extra layer of safety to the property as well.
