Ways to Make Your Rental Attractive for Seniors

There are reasons why most property owners want to rent out to seniors. Senior citizens are mostly law-abiding, they don't create too much scene like most young people do these days and they either keep to themselves or just have wholesome parties together with other seniors.

If you feel more inclined to renting out to seniors; you need to attract them to check out your property and through subtle ways convince them that your place is the right place for them.

Seniors and a Smaller Home

Seniors just want to enjoy their retirement. All their lives, they've been busy and now is their time to be carefree and living in a smaller place seem like a good idea to them. If you have a smaller property than their old one and your place is low maintenance, point it out to them that there will really be no hassle to move in.


Make them see that your rental is more manageable and should they decide to move, it will give them enough time enjoying their crafts, hobbies, friends and families rather than trying to maintain a bigger house.

Seniors and Their Savings

Now that they're not getting any younger; seniors should wisely spend their savings since there are unforeseen incidences that are unavoidable which involves spending.

Tell them that by choosing your property which is smaller, saves them more money for the coming years. This means extra money to splurge on something they have been eyeing lately at the mall or extra money to give their grandson on his upcoming birthday.

Seniors and Their Safety

Let's face it, senior citizen are less agile than younger people so they become susceptible to accidents like bumps and tripping and they need a property that doesn't need to much walking around the house which happens when they live in a big house.

And because seniors have special needs like these, moving into a smaller house that is accessible to the street and a special house with carpets instead of hard floors and other provisions where they will feel safe is a must. By offering a house that is safe, you will gain their trust and will want to move in.

Seniors in the Neighborhood

Just like any other human being, seniors prefer a good environment; this may mean a place where there is a park nearby, a deli right at the corner, secondhand bookstore down the street, sauna exclusively for senior citizens, a quiet or busy place or whatever it is they fancy.

If you can offer a place where there are a lot of choices that your senior citizen prospects may be attracted, he/she/they will consider moving in.

Additionally, a lot of seniors are very good in making friends so you may want to point out that your property is located in a place where there are many people they might like to get to know.

Seniors and Their Location

Location is just as important as the neighborhood. Of course seniors don't want to live in a neglected part of the metro. They don't want to be living in a place where there are many gangsters who might play a prank on them. They want to live in a location that is safe and beautiful.

They want a place they can be proud of where they can invite friends over and have good conversations at the balcony in case there is one or a little patio where they can reminisce about the good old days.

*It's not really hard to attract senior renters as long as you are sensitive to what they need and you want to provide the best rental property.
