Vanity Upgrades as Part of Lease Renewal Incentives
Lease renewals are a golden opportunity for landlords - a chance to retain great tenants, avoid turnover costs, and keep that rental income flowing. One way to keep tenants interested in staying is to offer incentives that show appreciation and value.
One of the most effective? A bathroom vanity upgrade.
Why Vanity Upgrades Work
Bathroom vanities are highly visible and frequently used. Tenants notice when they’re outdated, chipped or lacking sufficient storage. Upgrading a vanity is a simple way to make a space feel fresh, functional, and more like a home - without the cost of a full remodel.
Here’s why it works:
Tenants feel valued
It’s cost effective - Compared to rent discounts or full remodels, vanities often offer high impact at a lower price
It boosts retention - Tenants are more likely to stay when they see you investing in their comfort
What Makes a Good Vanity Upgrade?
Not all upgrades are created equal. Focus on improvements that balance style, durability, and ease of maintenance.
Modern, easy-to-clean surfaces (quartz or solid surface tops are the best)
Soft-close drawers and doors: Add a touch of luxury, at a very reasonable price
Updated faucets and hardware: Provide a contemporary look, while reducing your risk of plumbing leaks by keeping these updated
Neutral Finishes: Choose colors that appeal to a broad audience (white is currently a great choice)
Professional Installation:
DIY vanity installation can lead to leaks, poor fit and complaints. A professional ensures:
Proper plumbing connections
Secure mounting and waterproofing (which ensuring the screws that hold the vanity in place don’t hit a pipe!)
Clean, efficient installation with minimal disruption
