I use an INFORMATION sheet about the property, distance to schools, gardener paid, amenities, and each room size. This saves a lot of time for me and the potential tenant. --89.45.xx.xx

At another house, I put in 32" door on the second bedroom and the bath. Master bedroom I couldn't change size from 30" to 32". Thought about relocating attic scuttle so master bedroom door could be 36", and at an angle (Neoangled?, is that the term?) .... All those old doors were shot, and framing is so odd in my little houses that I was making new door jambs anyway. (With y'all's help. Thx!) Squeezed any extra width for the doors where I could. --70.92.xxx.xxx

Stopped those not realizing an 810 sq ft 3 bedroom was going to disappoint them and thrilled the two bedroom lookers to learn the home had an “office”. --24.96.xx.xxx

We only have a few places that will fit a King, and we do mention that in the ad, but a picture is worth 1000 words right? --50.82.xxx.xxx

Excellent resource for potential renters. Great idea! --172.58.xxx.xxx

The information sheet is a good idea. One year ALL of our units were moving-all med students in the same class rented from us and were graduating. When I showed the first unit I brought along information sheets for all my openings. If the prospect didn't take the first unit, I showed all info sheets to set up showings for others they were interested in. Rented all the units doing this. When it came time to sign the leases, we all met in ONE unit we were getting ready, chairs for all final selected renters. Signed all 9 leases in the same hour, answered questions, etc. 2 sets of finalists found they knew each other and would be living in the same property! --75.11.xx.xx

Don't provide a microwave. There are cheap little ones and especially not one over the stove. Of course those fry from high stove heat. --108.24.xx.xx

We don't supply microwaves either. --75.11.xx.xx

Thank you for sharing your changes. --73.120.xx.xxx

I give new tenants a floor plan with all the electrical outlets and switches labeled as to which circuit breakers they are on and the power load they can take. Saves a load of me running down to unplug a 'heavy hitter' from a 10 amp breaker and discussing how not to run the washer, hairdryer, mega screen TV, and coffee maker all on the same circuit at the same time. Old 1952 houses and only 3 breakers for the 800 sq ft house. Old area of town. Even my 1944 house was a challenge to figure out. No frills around here. I provide only fridge, washer and free standing range and a hookup in place for a gas dryer. So far nobody has done the dryer, since I have new updated 'solar clothes drying' outside. (Old fashioned clothes line which gets used a lot)Sunny California. --174.65.xxx.xx

Include the floorpan in advertising, so some may screen themselves (their furniture) out before even spending any of your time. --68.229.xxx.xxx

Plan of electrical outlets is interesting..... I have been thinking of labeling right on the switch plates somehow. Especially circuits for fridge, chest freezer, dehumidifier. Hmmm. ... Maybe I'll stick a child protector cap in one plug space, labeled ' Fridge only', or 'Dehumidifier only' , 'Freezer only' .. of course, now I'll have to figure out which of the basement circuits have just the one outlet. I had Sparky add them, and thought I'd remember. Now I'll need to follow conduit, and maybe bring some trouble lights to test.. --70.92.xxx.xxx

Ohhh Busy, I love the idea of those child caps in the outlets that indicate what to put (or not put) there. Great idea! --174.65.xxx.xx

For lights, it's best to have a helper who can yell "it's off!" --68.229.xxx.xxx

DJ, putting the circuit number on the plates, excellent! --70.92.xxx.xxx
