Summer is a peak rental season in the Hamptons, and if you plan on renting your home it’s important to take the time and care to prepare it properly for tenants. Here are some tips to get you started preparing your Hamptons home for summer renters:
Declutter and clean: Remove any personal items and clutter from the home and give it a thorough cleaning. Pay special attention to bathrooms and the kitchen.
Repair and maintain: Fix any broken appliances, furniture, or other items in the home. Conduct any necessary repairs and make sure everything is in working order.
Check safety features: Ensure smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are working correctly, and replace batteries if necessary. Also, check that any outdoor features, such as a pool or deck, are safe for renters.
Secure your personal belongings: Store your personal items in a secure location, such as a locked closet or storage unit. This will give renters ample space to store their belongings.
Provide essentials: Stock the home with basic essentials such as linens, towels, and toiletries. Also, make sure the kitchen is equipped with cookware and utensils.
Create a welcome packet: Create a welcome packet with information about the home, surrounding area, and local attractions. This can make renters feel more at home and give them ideas for activities to do during their stay.
