投稿日:

Today I will be sharing some simple ways to shorten vacancy.

A stylist room is definitely more attractive to tenants. Upgrading your apartment can shorten vacancy rate. However, the cost to upgrade or renovate could be expensive.

Below are some ideas on how to easily and economically add value to your apartment.

Wall stickers to decorate your room

Instead of changing the wallpaper, consider decorating your room with stickers! This can give the room a new look and is cheap in cost. For example, allow tenants to decorate a certain side of the walls freely.

(In Japan, tenants are usually not allowed to stick or punch anything on the wall)

Landlords can also consider providing tenants with stickers and some decoration ideas!
