Popular Trends in 2022 to attract Tenants

As the world is changing fast, the trends in tenancy are also changing. As a smart landowner, it is an incredible idea to stay updated about the latest residential trends to present your property as the most appealing one. As Dubai is rapidly growing as a strong economy, many people from neighboring emirates and the rest of the world move to the city every year to find employment opportunities or set up their businesses. That’s the reason why there is always a high demand for residential properties on rent in Dubai. To make your property stand out and get the best offer, here are some popular trends that tenants like to see in properties these days.

Home office

As work from home has become a continued way to operate to avoid rush hours, stay protected from COVID-19, reduce travel expenses, and/or work as a freelancer, it is ideal if there is a designated space in the house that can be used as an office. As a landlord, you can convert the additional bedroom, dining room, guest room, or any room into an office space.

Outdoor Space

In the last two or three years, the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed nearly everyone around the world to stay at home in lockdown for protection. Since it is hard to predict when the pandemic will end, the tenants prefer to get houses that come with outdoor spaces. Whether it is a garden, patio, balcony, or small porch, the tenants look for someplace in the house to breathe in the fresh air and get a healthy amount of sunshine.

Pet-Friendly housing

The modern world is becoming more and more aware of animal rights. It is become a common trend to own pets to not only shelter them but also to find a partner for you. Making your house pet-friendly will broaden the scope of suitable candidates with different needs. In case you have concerns, you can list down the approved pets that can be housed on your property.

Add some Green

The drastic climate changes that are now quite apparent have made everyone around the world more sensitive and aware of nature. That’s why most people love to see environmentally friendly properties. Bring some green features to your house such as installing a smart meter, solar systems, access to renewable energy, and so on.

Flexibility

Ever since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has witnessed great economic turmoil making employment opportunities unpredictable. So as a landlord, it is good to make flexible offers such as extendable tenancy, short-term tenancy, few exemptions here and there, to facilitate the tenants. It shows understanding and openness on part of landlords to provide more space to tenants.
