The holiday season is upon us! Where this is a busy time of year, it’s always nice to remember those who rent from you. Isn’t the true meaning of the holiday season to share the spirit of community and humanity? Whether you have one single family home rental or several multi-family units, here are 5 ways to show your tenants kindness during the holidays:
-
Remind them about options for package delivery
Between Black Friday and Cyber Monday your tenants may be getting a lot of packages delivered. If you have a leasing office and packages are delivered there, have your staff create a quick email/text template to let tenants know their package has arrived and is waiting for them to pick up.
If packages are delivered straight to their doorstep, maybe send an email prior to the holidays reminding them that theft is on the rise and to consider asking a neighbor to grab them if they will not be home soon, sending them to a friend or someone with a secure doorstep who will be able to bring them in to safety on their behalf. Another option is to recommend them using a shipping locker that is available at most grocery stores. The company sends them a code to scan when they pick it up and the locker opens up with your package safe and sound.
-
Maintain icy walkways and parking lots
With increased package delivery and guests visiting this holiday season, consider providing your property with a service or the tenant with the proper tools to remove ice where someone can slip and injure themselves. If using a de-icing product, choose pet and environmentally friendly options. This shows them you care and let them know they have nothing to worry about should they have a 4-legged friend living with them.
