5 Factors Tenants use to Choose Their New Home



 
  1. Curb appeal (28%) - What is the general visual impression of the property when you first drive up? Does it look well maintained or run down? Does it look like a place you'd be proud to call home?
  2. Common areas (28%) - In the case of an apartment building what condition are the common areas in? Is the lobby clean and well maintained? How about any hallways, stairways, laundry facilities and other shared elements?
  3. Security / parking (22%) - How secure does neighborhood or apartment building feel? Do you feel at ease or is there a constant need to look over your shoulder? Would you be comfortable leaving your car parked overnight?
  4. Interior appeal (18%) - From the time you open the front door, what is your general impression of the home? Is it clean and well maintained? Do doors, faucets and appliances work well? Does it look like the landlord cares?
  5. Amenities (4%) - What features does the home or apartment community offer? Does it offer a fenced yard, play area, or is it pet friendly? How does this stack up to the competition? What amenities exist outside of the building but in the nearby neighborhood?
