Rental Friendly Closet Doors

Geoff Schroeder
Posted

Pole question - what type of doors do other landlords recommend when replacing old bedroom closet doors in rentals? 

I'm asking about the type of closet door. I want something rental friendly. It is a 60" closet that had bifold doors that were completely beat up from an inherited tenant. Saving them was not an option. I was waiting on her to move out so I could rehab and bring to market rent. 

I've done new bifold doors and track sliding doors but never any other types of doors for bedroom closets. I was considering barn style doors.. Obviously they are similar to the track doors but may have a better aesthetic and you could actually option the entire 60" closet vs having to use only one side at a time. One possible downside is you wouldn't be able to use hollow core doors I don't think. Then there are the outward opening hinged doors too I see in a lot of flips/new builds but they are a little pricey.. 

My issue with bifold doors is they always seem to get messed up with tenants that are rough on things. Thoughts?

Side pole question - who has had a tenant move out and leave a stripper pole behind like this tenant did? I'm sure there are landlords out there LOL. I like to keep things light hearted in this business.
